Being petty towards veterans doesn't bother Senate Rs. Being *seen* as being petty towards veterans, on the other hand...

Last week, Senate Republicans got their hate on for veterans.

Subsequently, they were almost universally vilified for voting against something that they had previously voted for.

So today, they changed their votes again.

From CNN -

Senate passes long-sought bill to help veterans affected by burn pits

The Senate voted Tuesday night to pass a long-sought bipartisan legislation to expand health care benefits for millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their military service, sending the bill to President Joe Biden to sign into law. The final vote was 86-11.

Passage of the bill marks the end of a lengthy fight to get the legislation through Congress, as veterans and their advocates had been demonstrating on Capitol Hill for days. Many veterans were allowed into the Senate gallery to watch the final vote on Tuesday evening

.

The final vote is here.
