Hern. \u201cDemocrats are unwilling to slow down, so their options are raise the debt ceiling or crash right through it and send the country into a debt crisis. Let me be clear: this is a crisis of the Democrats\u2019 own making. Pelosi repeatedly proves that she doesn\u2019t care about bipartisanship in the bills she brings to the floor, so she should not expect bipartisanship to save her from defaulting on our debts. To make matters even worse, they\u2019re passing the debt limit increase disguised in a rule vote. That\u2019s cowardly, undemocratic, and incredibly misleading to the American people. It\u2019s long past time to restore fiscal responsibility and legislative integrity to Congress.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:24:51Z"]], "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://hern.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=441"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7938421331346035, "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"}
