Wade, the Trump-packed Supreme Court made it clear that they will soon target the fundamental right to marriage equality. I\u2019m proud that House members from both parties came together to reject this regressive vision for our nation and voted to ensure that all Americans can continue to marry whom they love without discrimination.\n\n\u201cThe Respect for Marriage Act will enshrine protections for same-sex and interracial marriage into federal law and repeal the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act. This legislation will also ensure every state respects the marriages performed in other states regardless of the couple\u2019s genders or races.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m grateful to the bipartisan group of Senators who worked together to get us to this historic moment, and I look forward to President Biden signing this legislation into law.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "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://foster.house.gov/media/press-releases/foster-statement-final-passage-historic-respect-marriage-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5741700772196054, "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"}
