During natural disasters, international conflicts, or public health emergencies our success depends on the strength of these sectors as they are the foundation of American society.\n\nJackson said: \u201cPresident Biden\u2019s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan emboldened our adversaries around the world. This is evident given Russia\u2019s attack on Ukraine, China\u2019s large-scale war games in the South China Sea, the increasing existential threat Iran poses to our partners and allies in the Middle East, and North Korea\u2019s erratic missile launches. Biden\u2019s weak posture on the world stage and negligence here at home has put every American at risk. It is more important than ever that America coordinate its efforts to strengthen the security and resiliency of these 16 critical infrastructure sectors that guarantee America's safety, prosperity, and well-being. In an era of unprecedented threats and uncertainty, we need a comprehensive approach to ensure our country can overcome physical and cyber threats from our enemies.\u201d\n\nBill text can be found here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:24:37Z"]], "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://jackson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=478"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3373950496315956, "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"}
