It will just destroy it faster.\n\n\u201cWhile Americans in every corner of the country are suffering from skyrocketing inflation and diminishing economic opportunity, House Democrats have other priorities.\n\n\"Democrats aren\u2019t interested in fixing our current energy crisis; they\u2019re giving away billions to Green New Deal activists.\n\n\"Democrats aren\u2019t interested in stopping the worst border crisis in history; they\u2019re starving our Border Patrol and promoting amnesty \u2013 even for criminals.\n\n\"Democrats aren\u2019t interested in demanding that our stranded citizens in Afghanistan be a top priority; they\u2019re covering for Biden\u2019s abandonment and devoting no new resources to bringing them home.\n\n\"Democrats aren\u2019t interested in easing the high tax burden on tens of millions of Americans; they\u2019re unleashing the IRS as never before.\n\n\"Democrats aren\u2019t interested in consensus, cooperation or transparency. Instead, they drafted a bill behind closed doors, negotiated in bad faith, broke their own procedural rules, and passed it with a party-line vote.\u201d\n\nDarrell Issa is the Representative of California\u2019s 50th Congressional District. The District encompasses the central and northeastern parts of San Diego County and a portion of Riverside County, including the communities of Fallbrook, San Marcos, Valley Center, Ramona, Escondido, Santee, Lakeside, El Cajon, Temecula, and the mountain and desert areas of the San Diego-Imperial County line. Issa served as the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform from 2011-2015.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "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://issa.house.gov/media/press-releases/issa-american-people-know-partisan-democrat-bill-wont-build-anything-better"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.738547183573246, "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"}
