My colleagues and I received the text of the bill the same day we were expected to vote on it. It\u2019s almost as if the Democrats didn\u2019t want to give us a chance to thoroughly review the legislation\u2014but we did, and what I saw was a bill full of damaging proposals that put Americans\u2019 fiscal future at risk. The Democrats\u2019 $3.5 trillion socialist wish list will drive American taxpayers further into debt largely in pursuit of partisan priorities. This bill is irresponsible and Democrats will be held accountable for it,\u201d said Congressman Fitzgerald.\n\n###\n\nCongressman Scott Fitzgerald was sworn in to the 117th Congress on January 3, 2021 and is proud to represent Wisconsin\u2019s Fifth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "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://fitzgerald.house.gov/media/press-releases/democrats-suspend-debt-ceiling-pay-their-35-trillion-tax-spend-spree"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7772529497742653, "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"}
