Florida is the only state refusing to extend this program known as Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT). The P-EBT program has been critical for helping food-insecure Floridians feed their children for the past year.\n\n\u201cThere has been so much suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have hungry children in Florida, including thousands in Palm Beach County, yet inexplicably Governor DeSantis has blocked our neediest families from getting food aid from the federal government,\u201d said Rep. Frankel. \u201cThe governor should stop playing politics with children\u2019s lives and apply for the funds immediately.\u201d\n\nRep. Frankel joined the rest of the Florida Democratic delegation to write a letter to Governor DeSantis demanding he take action to get this funding.\n\nClick here for the Members\u2019 letter on federal food assistance.\n\n###", 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://frankel.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3332"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4690360985696316, "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"}
