Congressman Russ Fulcher was selected to serve on the Big Tech Censorship and Data task force, led by Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, that will look into matters concerning data privacy, security, competition issues, and accountability.\n\n\u201cThe influence big tech companies have over how we get our information and share our opinions grows more substantial with each year.\u201d Rep. Fulcher commented on his appointment to the task force, \u201cAnd when it comes to arbitrary bans and censoring speech, there is no longer a question of the bias existing. It is time we start reigning in their power and ensuring these companies are held accountable for their actions. I am honored to be appointed to the leadership team concerning these efforts.\u201d\n\nLeader McCarthy commented, \u201cFrom President Biden\u2019s Border Crisis to soaring consumer costs, and the rising crimes caused by the \u2018Defund the Police\u2019 movement, Democrats\u2019 disastrous policies have left Americans hurting in ways we haven\u2019t seen in decades. The American people need reassurances from their elected officials that they will work to make neighborhoods safer, our border secure, and make the American dream even more accessible. When Republicans retake the majority, we will come prepared to implement policies that will actually solve problems and improve people\u2019s lives. That is why earlier this year I informed the conference that we would be rolling out Republican Task Forces designed to tackle the several crises that currently threaten our great nation. Today, I am proud to formally announce both the task force leaders and the full list of members who will be fighting to better our country for all Americans. These task forces will be critical in building consensus around ideas to continue to build on our Commitment to America and ensure that the next century is an American one,\u201d.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:03:51Z"]], "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://fulcher.house.gov/2021/07/01/id-16798d2a-f7bc-415a-b82f-f6f2f7043918/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9957989677786827, "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"}
