The title, boldly lettered at the top, reads: \u201c250 Years of Freedom\u201d with a subtle reminder of the years our country included (1776-2026).

One outstretched wing is dramatically and respectfully styled with the American flag motif, complete with 13 red and white stripes and 50 stars. The eagle flies high above a sweeping patriotic landscape that tells the story of American freedom, the Declaration of Independence to Mount Rushmore, the iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising scene from World War II, and the Statue of Liberty.\u201d", 1, "2026-05-13T06:12:22Z", "2026-05-13T06:13:52Z"]], "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://finstad.house.gov/2026/05/08/finstad-announces-2026-congressional-art-competition-winner/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.725623918697238, "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"}
