Our enemies have already become emboldened by the Biden administration\u2019s disastrous withdrawal efforts in Afghanistan; we cannot entice them further by leaving our southern border in its current vulnerable state. It\u2019s time for the Biden administration to shore up our national defenses to keep Americans safe, and that absolutely must include securing our southern border.\u201d", 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://baird.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=194"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7796119898557663, "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"}
