Much of the coverage has been filled with spin, fearmongering and outright falsehoods about what this bill does and doesn\u2019t do. Let\u2019s set the record straight.\n\nFirst, I was initially hesitant to support this bill \u2014 and for good reason. As a fiscal conservative, I raised concerns about its potential to add to the deficit. Those concerns were not just for show; I withheld support to ensure Maryland taxpayers wouldn\u2019t be saddled with more Washington debt.\n\nBecause conservatives pushed back, major changes were secured before the final vote. Among the wins:\n\nStronger Medicaid integrity provisions were included to stop states from improperly paying benefits \u2014 including to illegal immigrants \u2014 while protecting care for truly needy Marylanders.\n\nGreen New Scam rollbacks, ensuring Maryland families and businesses aren\u2019t burdened with radical energy mandates that drive up costs. This is especially essential as offshore wind adversely affects watermen, communities, and constituents in my district.\n\nStrengthening work requirements: The One Big Beautiful Bill strengthens common-sense work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving federal government assistance on the taxpayer dime \u2014 an important step toward restoring the dignity of work and ensuring taxpayer dollars aren\u2019t used for those who choose not to work.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "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/icymi-rep-harris-applauds-big-beautiful-bill-win-maryland"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9009079076349735, "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"}
