Becca Balint (VT-AL) announces she plans to attend the 60th Inauguration ceremony this Monday. Rep. Balint penned an op-ed explaining the importance of public displays of support of the peaceful transfer of power. Read excerpt below:\n\n\u201cMy presence at the inauguration will be my way of saying \u201cI see you and I know what you\u2019re about. And I won\u2019t be intimidated by you.\u201d It will be a way to show Americans and viewers across the world that I respect the vote of the people, unlike Trump himself. Four years on, he\u2019s still lying about the 2020 Election. And Republican leaders in both the House and the Senate are not just complicit in these lies; they facilitated them, and they are now trapped by them. Their fealty to Trump and his ridiculous lie have revealed their willingness to give away their own legislative power. Of course, it\u2019s bad for our democratic institutions, but it\u2019s also bad for the voters who sent them here to work on their behalf. Americans don\u2019t want massive tax giveaways to billionaires. They don\u2019t want Social Security and Medicare to be on the chopping block. They want real relief from an economy that\u2019s rigged against them.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:38:47Z"]], "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://balint.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=390"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.881521962583065, "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"}
