I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. (Ms. ROSEN assumed the Chair.) Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous…

Senator, I will reiterate what my colleague from Minnesota said. I do not serve on the Judiciary Committee, and I do not serve in the Department of Justice. Therefore, I am not privy to the information that has been provided in privacy to…

I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to allow these highly qualified Federal law enforcement nominations to move forward. In my State of Nevada, the position of U.S. attorney has been unfilled for nearly a year. This…

I rise to join my good colleague Senator Rosen and my other colleagues in urging our friend and Senator from Arkansas to allow the nomination of these candidates for U.S. attorney and U.S. marshal to move forward. And let me just start by…

I am disappointed because I hear my colleague, but he is not listening. He keeps repeating the same talking point that he is defending law enforcement when, at the same time, he is harming law enforcement across the country. This really is…

I just so appreciate the comments today on the need for more robust crisis services for kids.

I think that anybody who goes to a doctor and talks about their physical health, and has a funding source for that, that should be on par with mental health.

I truly believe that when they are in crisis mode, there should be a place to call.

People in crisis related to mental illness and substance use disorder are more likely to encounter police than get medical attention.

I hear every day that one of the most critical ways we can protect kids' mental health is by keeping our schools open.

I cannot thank you enough for this conversation, Mr. Chairman.

That is one of the reasons why I partnered with Senator Daines on legislation that actually enabled families with high-deductible health plans to access no-cost telehealth services before they meet their deductible.

Mental health and substance use disorders are health care issues, not crimes.

My goal has been to tear down that barrier and do away with stigma.

We encourage the Committee to advance the CAHOOTS Act to provide states with enhanced Medicaid funding.

That's right. Thank you.

The impact of the pandemic has been really profound for the families that we are serving, as well as for the workforce that is serving these families.

One of my top priorities here at the Federal level is to make sure that our Federal partners are working constructively with the States and counties on the front line to meet our children's needs.
