So far, the Committee has focused on advancing radical Leftist environmental, social, and governance policies.\n\n\u201cInstead of using resources to address the economic destruction of millions of Americans, Secretary Yellen and the Treasury\u2019s Advisory Committee on Racial Equity (TACRE) are focusing on forcing ESG policies on folks,\u201d said Congressman Ogles. \u201cYellen has done nothing to address the crippling inflation plaguing hardworking taxpayers. Instead, she propagates the Biden Administration\u2019s big-spending agenda, which no longer fools the American people. If Secretary Yellen can\u2019t explain her failures, I have requested she disband the TACRE committee and disclose just how much taxpayer money she wasted on this pet project.\u201d\n\nLETTER TEXT", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "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://ogles.house.gov/media/press-releases/ogles-demands-answers-yellen-treasury-committee-racial-equity"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8956817910075188, "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"}
