I'm glad that leaders from both parties stepped back from the brinkmanship and hostage-taking and allowed this measure to move forward with majority votes in both the House and Senate for the good of the country. As I have done consistently throughout this year, I will continue to push for fiscal responsibility as Congress considers the actual legislation that governs spending and revenue.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "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://golden.house.gov/media/press-releases/golden-statement-vote-lift-debt-ceiling-prevent-default"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.852562952786684, "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"}
