Mike Thompson (CA-04) released the following statement on the House\u2019s passage of a Continuing Resolution:\n\n\u201cTonight, I voted to avoid a potentially disastrous government shutdown ahead of the holidays.\n\n\u201cSince October, Democrats and Republicans negotiated in good faith to develop a bipartisan bill to fund our government. Republicans set the total amount of funding in the bill. Yet hours before we were set to pass that bill, Elon Musk and President-elect Trump intervened to kill it.\n\n\u201cI am disappointed that the Continuing Resolution passed tonight was not the negotiated Republican bill that Democrats agreed to support.\n\n\u201cHowever, I am pleased that the Continuing resolution Democrats helped pass includes critical disaster funding and funding for lifesaving fire breaks in our state.\n\n\u201cThe Resolution also includes my bill to extend telehealth coverage benefits so that all Medicare beneficiaries retain access to critical services. Since my days in the California State Senate, I\u2019ve been a big believer in telehealth\u2019s ability to save money, time, and lives, and today\u2019s telehealth extension ensures continued access to care for millions of Americans.\n\n\u201cAs important, this bill did not extend a $4 trillion line of credit to President-elect Trump and Elon Musk so they could extend tax cuts to billionaires at the expense of Social Security and Medicare.\u201d", 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://mikethompson.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/thompson-releases-statement-houses-continuing-resolution"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6661992520093918, "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"}
