The right of each person to worship according to their conscience is one of our nation\u2019s founding principles. Why is the Biden administration implementing policies that weaken religious liberty protections? The Trump administration prioritized the protection of religious liberties, but the Biden administration appears motivated to undo these efforts,\u201d said Congressman Andy Biggs. \u201cSecretary Becerra should be building on the steps taken by the Trump administration to ensure the department is fully complying with its constitutional and statutory obligations instead of weakening the department\u2019s ability to protect religious liberties.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "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://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-sends-letter-hhs-religious-freedoms-restoration-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1218150611966848, "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"}
