Now that the pandemic is over, the Limit, Save, and Grow Act returns government spending for most agencies\u2014except for Veterans Affairs and Defense---to the pre-Covid spending levels once championed by the Biden-Harris Administration. As our national debt climbs higher, it\u2019s time to permanently cut the woke, weaponized, and wasteful government spending that is threatening the future of our children and grandchildren.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:44:29Z"]], "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-harris-votes-yes-limit-save-and-grow-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.892348751425743, "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"}
