(February 24, 2026) \u2013 Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement ahead of President Trump\u2019s State of the Union address to Congress:\n\n\u201cThe State of the Union is a time to reflect on the state of our country, and when I do, I see our government unleashing unimaginable violence against our neighbors and our nation slipping into authoritarianism: these are not mere policy disagreements. We cannot pretend these are normal times, and tonight the President will attempt to normalize that violence and gaslight Americans into believing our rights are disposable or that we\u2019re powerless to stop it.\n\n\u201cI won\u2019t be attending tonight\u2019s State of the Union, and I urge Americans watching to remember that our rights are not disposable, our power is not gone, and this is not normal.\u201d\n\n###\n\nCongressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky\u2019s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County. He serves on the House Veterans Affairs, Small Business, and Budget Committees.", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "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://mcgarvey.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-morgan-mcgarvey-on-tonights-state-of-the-union"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3909849803894758, "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"}
