Importantly, the measure also sustains critical investments in the submarine industrial base to ensure shipyards can continue recruiting and training workers, modernizing their facilities, and sizing up production across the supply chain.\n\n\u201cIn eastern Connecticut, this means that Electric Boat\u2019s talented workforce and aggressive hiring goals will not skip a beat in carrying out their crucial mission to deliver for the Navy\u2019s future fleet of submarines.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "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://courtney.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-courtney-applauds-congressional-action-ensuring-continued-funding"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3432810083031654, "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"}
