They continue to mistake Congress\u2014a legislative body\u2014for law enforcement. In their only public hearing, their own witnesses conceded there isn\u2019t evidence to warrant moving forward. I submit for the record, M/Speaker, a list of their own skepticism!\n\nMeanwhile, we are staring down another Republican government shutdown right at the beginning of the tax filing season.\n\nEnough with the Republican obsession with one particular taxpayer. Ways and Means Democrats are concerned with ALL taxpayers because that\u2019s how you govern!\n\nAgain, there\u2019s nothing here. No evidence, no wrongdoing.\n\nIt\u2019s a waste of time, and it\u2019s not the work of the American people.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "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://neal.house.gov/2023/12/13/news-documentsingle-aspx-documentid-3841/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.420286949723959, "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"}
