It also shows what happens in their absence. The gains made in combatting childhood poverty have been erased since Republicans allowed the policy to expire in 2022.\n\n\u201cWhile House Democrats continue to fight to bring back monthly Child Tax Credit checks, House Republicans are instead focused on doubling down on their failed economic approach that prioritizes tax giveaways to the wealthy and well-connected. This isn\u2019t fair and this isn\u2019t right.\n\n\u201cRepublicans own this loss of progress for American families and our economy.\u201d\n\nBackground:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "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://delbene.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3660"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6555842012166977, "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"}
