We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It goes back to 9/11 when a lot of first responders were dying due to exposure to materials after the twin towers collapsed. He promoted them on the Daily Show and it's been on since. It's hard not to keep involved when the people you were working with at the beginning didn't live to see the day bills like this passed.
The idea regularly polls in the low 30 percent range which means nobody is really interested in touching the idea.
I'm surprised he let him talk. We really need more people who can plainly explain things like this.
He has some stumbles lately but is still far ahead of a lot of aging comics to say the least.
It is more that he was able to penetrate the seemingly impenetrable wall of bullshit that is Republican reality which led to pressure from their voting base.
Crazy how history repeats given Republicans, and especially McConnell were blocking, BLOCKING! access to healthcare support for 9/11 first responders so many years ago.
Years of "support our troops!" chants and patriot worship only to stiff those heroes that risked and suffered from leaping into a deadly crater to save lives and we're afflicted with horrendous lifelong effects.
Jon Stewart tore them a new one then. Still recall the image of Jon grimacing on the capital steps as McConnell was forced to finally buckle and approve the vote looking defeated like the villain he is.

Wow, well then an extra good on him for sticking with the issue for so long.
I honestly didn't realize this was different than the 9/11 bill for a little bit and got confused how it was still not passed somehow.
He did really great work here, but I'd also like to remind people that Stewart went to bat defending Chappelle's transphobia.
Doesn't have a happy ending, sadly

Or maybe it is, given that Posobiec on the right side of history for once in his miserable life, for whatever that's worth which is nothing
It really is astounding.
We know why they did it: McConnell had threatened to hold the CHIPS bill hostage to prevent the reconciliation bill passing, but since he thought it was dead, he let CHIPS pass. Then Manchin announced it wasn't dead, just renamed (more or less). McConnell was so mad, he whipped up the votes to tank PACT, as punishment.
That's all quite clear. What is not clear is why he thought that blocking it would be considered a win for the GOP. A crowd of veterans was ON SITE, expecting to celebrate its passage.
