(September 29, 2023) \u2013 Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the potential House Republican government shutdown. Below are Rep. McGarvey\u2019s remarks:\n\nI rise today because I\u2019m frustrated. I came here to work \u2014 to work across the aisle and get things done. Right-wing extremists are preventing us from doing our most important job: passing a budget. It is catastrophic for our country, our community, and our economy if extremist Republicans shut down our government.\n\nLet me be clear: Kentuckians cannot afford a shutdown. 119,884 Kentucky moms and babies will lose access to vital nutrition assistance, and nearly 556,000 SNAP recipients lose access to their benefits in a prolonged shutdown. 10,672 federal civilian workers in my district could be furloughed or have to work without pay. These are real consequences to Republicans\u2019 harmful actions.\n\nSo pass a spending bill; it\u2019s our job. And when you\u2019re done playing political games, we\u2019re ready to work together to avoid a disastrous shutdown.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "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/transcript-congressman-morgan-mcgarveys-remarks-potential-house-republican"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6042870227247477, "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"}
