Unfortunately, yesterday\u2019s actions do not seem to advance our efforts\u00a0of identifying a cause or culprit behind these 'sonic attacks.' Instead of sending us back down a path of isolation, we must foster open lines of communication as we continue the investigation to determine who\u00a0must be held responsible for these attacks on Americans. We\u00a0cannot lose sight of the fact that an improved and sustained relationship with Cuba\u00a0brings us one step closer to ensuring the stability and security of the entire Western Hemisphere.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://emmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/emmer-statement-administrations-decision-remove-cuban-diplomats"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.582734080031514, "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"}
