This failure is completely avoidable. Working families should never be used as leverage in partisan battles. If Democrats wish to open discussions about Affordable Care Act subsidies, I say let\u2019s do that \u2014 but let\u2019s keep the government running while we talk. Let\u2019s not shut down vital services and leave millions of Americans wondering how they\u2019ll put food on the table.\u201d\n\nAderholt emphasized that Congress has a responsibility to ensure that essential services \u2014 such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) \u2014 continue without interruption, regardless of ongoing policy disagreements.\n\nHe noted that shutting down the government over unrelated disputes not only harms federal workers and contractors, but also millions of families who rely on critical programs and paychecks for their federal service.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://aderholt.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/aderholt-statement-snap-benefits-danger-working-families-should-never"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4766408130526543, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
