Whose side are they on?\n\nIt is also alarming that Democrats are proposing $150 billion to mandate deployment of clean energy [technology] that is manufactured in China, while at the same time China has been building coal-powered plants around the world. They got to be laughing at us.\n\nThis massive package \u2013 which, by the way, we still don\u2019t have the full cost details yet \u2013 will punish American households and consumers through higher costs while sending good-paying jobs overseas. Like I said, whose side are they on?\n\nSadly, this isn\u2019t anything new \u2013 President Biden has continued to hand our adversaries like Russia and China victory after victory while chipping away at our energy dominance.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "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://allen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4848"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.584343845024705, "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"}
