Trump has the lowest approval rating in modern history, and Republicans know they can\u2019t win fairly so they're cheating. They\u2019re trying to erase Congressman Cleaver\u2019s seat, erase voters, and erase accountability.\n\nThis is the new Republican playbook: bend the knee to a failed president, tear down anything that gets in their way, and cling to power by silencing voices they can\u2019t beat at the ballot box. It\u2019s not politics as usual anymore. It\u2019s a raw fight between democracy and tyranny.\n\nCongressman Cleaver is my friend and my ally. And I\u2019ll stand with him\u2014and with every Missourian whose voice they\u2019re trying to silence\u2014because this isn\u2019t just about one district. It\u2019s about whether we\u2019re still a country where the people choose their leaders, or a country where politicians choose their voters. Republicans are willing to sell out their integrity to keep a weak man happy. That\u2019s the choice they\u2019ve made. And history will remember them for siding with tyranny.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:57:50Z"]], "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://bell.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-bell-slams-missouri-special-session-redistrict"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.5791340954601765, "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"}
