Chip Roy (TX-21) in calling on Senate Democrats to stop holding the government hostage and vote to reopen it for the American people.\n\nStatements from Congressman Harris:\n\n\u201cThe reason that the government remains shut down is becoming crystal clear to Americans: it\u2019s because Senate Democrats have chosen to pander to their radical base instead of doing their jobs for the American people\u201d.\n\n\u201cSenate Democrats have had the opportunity to vote 11 times for the House-passed bill that pays our troops, pays our law enforcement, and pays our air traffic controllers\u2014and would immediately reopen the government.\u201d\n\n\u201cLet\u2019s also be honest about what the Democrats are really fighting for. They want to eliminate work requirements for able-bodied adults on welfare who could work but choose not to. And they\u2019re defending hundreds of billions of dollars in continued corporate welfare for big, profitable health insurance companies that have already made a fortune off Obamacare\u2014with the \u201cBiden Bonuses\u201d Democrats scheduled to expire at the end of this year.\u201d\n\n\u201cHouse Republicans have already done their job. The only thing standing between America and a reopened government is a handful of Senate Democrats too afraid of their activist base to do the right thing.\u201d\n\nTo watch the full press conference, please go to the link HERE.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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://harris.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-andy-harris-joins-house-gop-leadership-demand-senate-democrats"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7425937801599503, "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"}
