That must never change,\u201d said Congressman Cole. \u201cThe FY25 Defense and State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations bills ensure our defenders are equipped, trained, and prepared to protect the United States, while reducing excessive spending at the same time. These bills lead through strength with our adversaries, enact pay raises for the nation\u2019s junior enlisted, deliver a combat-ready military that can preserve freedom, counter the destabilizing actions of Hamas terrorists, Communist China, and fentanyl traffickers, and safeguard American families. I am proud to have voted in favor of these bills today, as they both promote the doctrine of peace through strength.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"]], "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://cole.house.gov/media/press-releases/cole-votes-favor-keeping-our-nation-safe"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9238969068974257, "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"}
