However, the sins of the son are not the sins of the parents, and there is absolutely no evidence to show that President Biden is guilty of anything other than being a devoted and loving father. Republican lawmakers, Republican witnesses, and Republican reports have all been very open about the fact that there is no evidence to support the impeachment of Joe Biden, despite more than a year of this tireless fishing expedition.\n\n\u201cThis week, Speaker Johnson will send America\u2019s Representatives home for the remainder of the year without passing supplemental funding to defend our democratic allies around the world; without passing a full-year budget; without passing a bipartisan Farm Bill; without passing a long-term FAA reauthorization; without passing meaningful legislation to address America\u2019s housing affordability crisis; and without delivering on so many issues that impact Missouri families and those around the country.\n\n\u201cWhile I would prefer to stay in Washington to work on these pressing issues, I hope that the Speaker and my Republican colleagues will at the very least use the remainder of the year to reflect on the damage they are doing to the country by focusing on political theater and extreme partisanship rather than the needs of the families they represent.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "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://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cleavers-statement-vote-against-house-gops-baseless"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.354020718485117, "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"}
