Ilhan Omar issued the following statement after the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act.\n\n\u201cThe Inflation Reduction Act is a historic bill. With the Senate\u2019s passage, we are one step closer to passing the biggest climate bill ever, lowering drug prices, taxing wealthy corporations, and more. The bill includes a much needed tax on corporate buybacks of their own stocks, averts a benefits cliff by extending health care subsidies for 3 years, allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices, and would reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030.\n\n\u201cIs it perfect? No. I oppose expansion of fossil fuel leasing and I am disappointed that key elements like taxing wealthy private equity speculators and capping insulin prices for private insurers were removed.\n\n\u201cBut the bill is a massive step forward for Minnesotans and I\u2019m extremely proud of the role the Congressional Progressive Caucus played in pushing for the best deal possible in the face of conservative resistance.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"]], "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://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-ilhan-omar-statement-support-inflation-reduction-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.458506729453802, "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"}
