Where the other side fails, House Republicans step up and make it clear whose priorities we represent \u2013 the American people\u2019s,\u201d said Congressman Cole.\n\n\u201cThe Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act reflects a simple choice: do you want to defend national security or defund it? I voted for our TSA, Secret Service, Coast Guard, cybersecurity experts, FEMA, and all DHS personnel who don\u2019t get to walk away from their duties. Senate Democrats can act now to resolve this. All they have to do is vote \u2018yes\u2019 and bring this shutdown to an end. This should not be a partisan issue, as it is about responsibility, safety, and delivering stability for the American people,\u201d said Congressman Cole.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-10T06:36:00Z", "2026-06-10T06:37:32Z"]], "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-pay-our-homeland-defenders-act-end-senate-democrat-chaos"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.726394122466445, "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"}
