How those of us who live in the West are so grateful to Vicki Christiansen for decades of extraordinary public service.

Could you get that to me and my colleagues, the Chair and the Ranking Member, within a week?

if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 5:43 p.m., adjourned until Wednesday, June 16, 2021, at 10:30…

These payments have the potential to cut child poverty in half if everybody does their part to reach vulnerable families.

I want to commend you for that. They are a shared goal of ensuring mega-corporations pay their fair share of taxes to fund the investments.

To fund that agenda, the Congress must ensure that corporations and the wealthy--not just people who work for a living--have skin in the game.

I want to continue working with the Treasury Department and Senator Crapo to get the job done.

What's most damaging to people's trust in the tax system, in my view, is its rotten, cynical unfairness to Americans who work for a living.

I'll have a proposal dealing with a core unfairness of the tax code, the special rules that allow the wealthiest individuals to pay little or nothing at all.

This is a fairness-based approach to revenue that the American people support, and I'm looking forward to working with Secretary Yellen on these issues in the weeks and months ahead.

To fund that agenda, the Congress has to make sure that mega-corporations and the wealthy, not just workers, have skin in the game.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not simply created a new mental health crisis, but rather exacerbated a longstanding crisis.

Insurance companies must not cut corners when it comes to mental health coverage.

We urge both its enactment and the adoption of mobile crisis intervention services by Medicaid programs nationwide.

The pandemic has added urgency to these challenges.

the system still reflects the dangerous, outdated stigma against recognizing and treating mental illness.

The proportion of Americans reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression has nearly quadrupled.

This is a basic matter of health-care equity, and there's a long way to go.

We think that this is an issue where the committee can come together and do better.
