And importantly, no debt ceiling lift to give Donald Trump a blank check in the new year. Government shutdowns have real consequences for everyday Americans, working families, seniors, and veterans. That\u2019s why despite the chaos caused by my Republican colleagues, House Democrats have stepped up to deliver for the American people and keep critical programs up and running.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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://matsui.house.gov/media/press-releases/matsui-statement-vote-avoid-government-shutdown-0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6275178641080856, "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"}
