The Biden Administration\u2019s newest version of \"Waters of the U.S.\" removes longstanding bipartisan exemptions for common water features like ponds or streams found on farms and ranches.\n\nThe Biden Administration has created regulatory chaos for producers, who are working hard to keep us all fed, fueled, and clothed. Farmers are the original conservationists, and they deserve the gratitude and support of the federal government, not red tape and burdensome overregulation. They certainly don\u2019t need Washington Democrats to tell them how to manage their own resources.\u201d\n\nClick hereto listen to Rep. Mann's remarks on the House Floor about WOTUS.\n\nClick hereto learn more about H.R. 2660, the Withstanding Attempts to Encroach on our Resources (WATER) Act, which Rep. Mann co-sponsors.\n\nClick here for more information about the new WOTUS rule.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "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://mann.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mann-new-wotus-ruling-creates-regulatory-chaos-agricultural-producers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9041819721460342, "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"}
