I reserve the right to object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan

Clearly we need to make sure the vaccine distribution is going and fully available to communities of color and other vulnerable communities, and rural communities.

I think it is a mistake for the country.

I hope we do not see a repeat of that, because that is not working with Congress.

We need to make sure that we are investing in it.

I certainly think it is a mistake for trying to build some bipartisanship going forward.

I certainly appreciate the Senator from Florida's interest in oversight of the coronavirus emergency relief funds. This funding has been and continues to be critical to the American people throughout the pandemic. I also appreciate the…

Well, I think you said it in the opening. It's just basically a political stunt, and basically is delaying this bill from going forward.

Was the issue of optics ever brought up by Army leadership when the U.S. D.C. National Guard was deployed during the summer of 2020? Was that discussed?

Did you think that was unusual?

I have long pressed the Federal Government to help prevent exposure to toxic polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals that are harming the health of Michiganders and people all across our country.

I am proud to stand today in support of Jennifer Granholm's nomination to be the next Secretary of Energy. I have known Secretary-designate Granholm for many years, and I served in her administration while she was Governor. There is no…

What did you see that leads you to believe that this was a coordinated attack?

the question that we certainly need to have answered is why did it take so long for the National Guard to respond?

This is a very concerning development. It is getting worse. We have to treat it with the seriousness that it deserves.

It was not treated seriously by the previous administration. In fact, you could argue it was encouraged.

How could you not get that vital intelligence on the eve of what’s going to be a major event?
