Here are the 11 Republicans who voted against the PACT Act, which boosts healthcare for veterans exposed to toxins during war

• The Senate voted 86-11 on Tuesday to approve the PACT Act.
• The bill increases healthcare funding and access for military veterans.
• All 11 votes against the measure came from Republicans.

Eleven Republican senators voted Tuesday against a bipartisan measure, the PACT Act, that is designed to help veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals while deployed abroad.

The bill was approved in the Senate by a vote of 86-11 a week after 41 Republicans elected to stall the final passage of the measure, citing concerns over its cost. Twenty-five Republicans who voted against the bill last week voted for a nearly identical version of the legislation in June.

The effort to block the legislation caused an uproar among veterans groups, with critics arguing that aid for veterans was being held hostage over GOP opposition to another measure, the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes significant amount of money to combat climate change and lower health care costs.

The January 6 select committee has tapped 21 key witnesses to testify about the Capitol riot. Here's who's up next.

• The January 6 committee plans to put key witnesses on the stand during its public hearings.
• Key testimony is expected from Trump administration officials and those present at the Capitol.
• Witnesses to date have included Capitol Police, DOJ officials, White House aides, and riot embeds.

The select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack has interviewed nearly 1,000 people since it converged about a year ago. The panel has mapped out plans for up to eight public hearings related to its investigation and is expected to call some of its key witnesses to testify in what's likely to be a widely-viewed series of events.

The committee's seventh public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 12 at 1 p.m.
