No preemptive permission for irresponsible deficit spending next year. Instead, we\u2019re simply ensuring we avoid a disruptive and costly government shutdown, supporting those who have experienced natural disasters \u2014 including at home in Maine \u2014 and extending the Farm Bill to provide stability for American farmers.\u201d\n\nAmong other important provisions, the package contains $325 million in disaster relief for Maine, including $79 million in funding to rebuild and restore infrastructure in Acadia National Park that was damaged during extreme weather last winter, $15 million for agricultural disaster relief and economic assistance, and $10.5 million to reimburse Maine for emergency repairs to roads and bridges.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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-votes-to-keep-government-open-with-continuing-resolution"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7505491375923157, "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"}
