These bills will fund the State and Defense Departments and include many conservative wins such as prohibiting funds for abortion-related travel reimbursement, abolishing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices, and preventing COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates.\n\nEarlier in the week, Congressman Brecheen offered three amendments to the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, which would cut $175 million in unnecessary spending.", 1, "2026-04-07T14:30:38Z", "2026-04-07T14:34:20Z"]], "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://brecheen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=315"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9548719972372055, "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"}
