Calvert. \"As a supporter of the original CHIPS legislation included in the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, I support increasing domestic semiconductor manufacturing and creating a secure supply chain for national security.\n\n\"However, just as we learned the U.S. economy is now in a recession, Senators Manchin and Schumer announced a partisan, costly reconciliation package. I could not in good conscience support a spending bill of this magnitude which, when taken with the Manchin-Schumer package, will raise taxes and cost the American people nearly $1 trillion. American families are facing record high inflation and rising interest rates, and I refuse to add to these hardships by supporting a Democrat plan to tax-and-spend in a vain attempt to save themselves from the reckoning that is coming this November.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "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://calvert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-calvert-votes-against-democrat-spending-spree"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1545699089765549, "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"}
