The bill would make across-the-board cuts to humanitarian aid that could impact embassy operations, educational and cultural exchanges, and ongoing support for Palestinian Security Forces. I believe our decisions and policies must be concise and decisive, especially when addressing the actions of the far-right Netanyahu regime.\n\nPalestinian people have a right to self-determination and American policy actions should support that goal through thoughtful and deliberate considerations of the path forward for the Israeli and Palestinian people. The Massie amendment was not a genuine step toward lasting peace.\n\nI believe Congress should always evaluate how taxpayer dollars are spent and work toward a foreign policy that advances peace, security, and accountability. The Republican proposals before us did not do that. Instead, these sweeping cuts would essentially isolate America from the world.\u201d", 1, "2026-07-17T07:15:58Z", "2026-07-17T07:17:05Z"]], "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://nikemawilliams.house.gov/posts/congresswoman-nikema-williams-statement-opposing-republicans-cuts-to-international-aid"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9206680115312338, "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"}
