Below is a transcript of her remarks:\n\n\u201cMr. Speaker, a budget is a reflection of our values. And what a low value the Majority places on women and children in these bills.\n\n\u201cIn these two minutes allotted to me, 40 Americans will be physically abused by a partner \u2014 40 Americans. But instead of standing with those survivors, MAGA Republicans are defunding the Violence Against Women Act. And, they\u2019re taking away survivors\u2019 access to legal counsel. Those are the GOP\u2019s values.\n\n\u201cMAGA ideology is about controlling people \u2014 their health, their lives, their bodies. And in these bills, they\u2019re continuing their march toward a national abortion ban: defunding family planning programs, banning providers from talking to patients about abortion care, banning medical students from even learning how to provide safe abortions. Those are their values.\n\n\u201cMillions of parents sent their kids to school today \u2014 not knowing if they\u2019ll come home safe. The Republicans\u2019 response? Unleash more guns onto the streets, including untraceable ghost guns. Those are their values. And about those schools \u2014 in these bills, they\u2019re gutting public education and child care. They\u2019re even defunding resources for missing and exploited children.\n\n\u201cWe see the extreme values of the GOP in these bills. These values are not shared by the American people. We are here to serve people. These extreme bills work against them. I urge my colleagues to vote no.\u201d\n\nTo watch the full speech, click HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "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://katherineclark.house.gov/press-releases?ID=19CB273B-9589-4A6B-82E7-4F38B48578CF"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5503829345107079, "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"}
