As President Biden drives his sleigh of spending and crises across this country, increasing the cost of the meal on your table and toys under your tree, Congressman Meuser\u2019s tale gives us hope for a brighter and more prosperous future for all Americans.\n\nClick the photo or here to watch Congressman Meuser\u2019s Christmas message.\n\nTwas\u2019 the Night Before Christmas, and all through the People\u2019s House\u2026\n\nNot a member was stirring, but we had our doubts.\n\nThe Amendments were all filed at the desk with care,\n\nIn hopes that the Clerk would read them from there.\n\nThe Democrats sat patiently, all set in their ways,\n\nKnowing that the Republicans would be ignored this day.\n\nNow Texans in their boots, the rest in our shoes,\n\nWe spoke up for the People while the Democrats boo\u2019d.\n\nWhen out in the hall there arose such a clatter,\n\nWe sprang from our seats to see what was the matter\n\nAway from the rostrum, we flew like a flash,\n\nEven Jerry Nadler got up and ran an open dash.\n\nWhen what to our wondering eyes should appear\n\nBut a very large motorcade and not a single reindeer.\n\nIn black Suburbans we see, they all came ridin\u2019\n\nWe knew in that moment, that it must be Joe Biden!\n\nMore rapid than eagles his crisis\u2019 they came,\n\nHe whistled and shouted and called them by name!\n\nRaise taxes, Raise Gas Prices, and open the Border!\n\nNow vax mandates, Now inflation, Now Crime and disorder.\n\nA backup in the supply chain, and a lack of a wall\n\nRun rampant! Run rampant! Run rampant! All!\n\nHe spoke not a word, while many were paid not to work.\n\nThere was much extra money from government perks.\n\nAs 2022 loomed and 2024 so near,\n\nThe GOP shall prevail in what will be a great year.\n\nAmericans deserve, a break from all of these burdens\n\nBut your holiday meal is going to cost more this year, we know that for certain.\n\nSo we leave you with this, a message to be delivered,\n\nIn hopes that soon, our legislation will be reconsidered.\n\nWe will continue to work and put in a good fight,\n\nBut, until the majority comes, we wish a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "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://meuser.house.gov/media/press-releases/christmas-message-congressman-dan-meuser"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5472322702407837, "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"}
