The hearing is scheduled to take place tomorrow, October 12th, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.\n\n\u201cRepublicans have a peculiar preoccupation with expending their resources, which rightly belong to their own constituents, on meddling in local D.C. governmental affairs \u2013 a district none of them represent in Congress,\u201d Norton said. \u201cParticularly at a time when Republican extremism has paralyzed the House, tomorrow\u2019s hearing is a demonstration of Republicans\u2019 peculiar and irresponsible obsession with local D.C. affairs. This undemocratic, paternalistic fixation consistently denies their own constituents time, attention and resources that should be used to solve problems for the members\u2019 own districts.\n\n\u201cI will continue working to do everything within my power to stop congressional meddling in local D.C. affairs, and I have one message for the current House Republicans: Keep your hands off D.C.\u201d\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://norton.house.gov/media/press-releases/norton-condemns-tomorrows-undemocratic-paternalistic-judiciary-subcommittee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9583716057240963, "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"}
