We have a president who is willing to tear up our Constitution in order to seize more power for himself.\n\nLast week, Donald Trump empowered Elon Musk to \u201cdelete\u201d USAID.\n\nNow, they are trying to eliminate the Department of Education and go after Medicaid.\n\nWhat\u2019s next, Social Security?\n\nLet\u2019s be clear: it is unconstitutional for any president to abolish any federal agency created and funded by Congress.\n\nSo my question to the body is \u2013 where are my Republican colleagues?\n\nYou all would not be okay if this were Kamala Harris or Joe Biden \u2013 and the difference is, neither would I.\n\nSo stand with me.\n\nWe all must stand up to do something to stop it.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:42:11Z"]], "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/rep-mcgarvey-delivers-powerful-speech-we-are-in-a-constitutional-crisis"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5902151353657246, "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"}
