With the fiscal year ending this weekend, and without all twelve appropriations bills or a CR passed by Congress and signed by the President, non-essential government functions will be curtailed.\n\n\u201cI strongly oppose shutting down the government and want to avoid it at all costs. Congress is continuing to work on passing appropriations bills that reduce government spending. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve voted for the appropriations bills and C.R., which would get the government\u2019s spending craze under control, secure our southern border, and keep the federal government open and working.\u201d", 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://flood.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-flood-house-republicans-fighting-keep-government-open"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4995611272752285, "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"}
