Whether it\u2019s at the gas pump or the grocery store, Americans are stretched too thin. They need relief\u2013not a blank check to fund an illegal war with no strategy or endgame.\n\n\u201cRepublicans\u2019 latest budget comes just over a year after they passed the largest cuts to healthcare and food assistance in our nation\u2019s history. The so-called \u2018Big Ugly Law\u2019 ripped away healthcare coverage for over 8 million Americans and bankrupted rural hospitals across the country. More than 177,000 North Carolina families and children have lost access to food assistance\u2013all so Republicans could fund tax breaks for the richest Americans.\n\n\u201cA budget is fundamentally a statement of values. This budget resolution sends a clear message that Trump and Congressional Republicans would rather bankroll a war of choice in the Middle East than invest in Americans\u2019 healthcare, food assistance, and economic security.\n\n\u201cThe American people deserve better. I will keep fighting this reckless, cruel budget every step of the way.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-30T07:32:48Z", "2026-07-30T07:34:08Z"]], "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://ross.house.gov/2026/7/congresswoman-ross-votes-against-republicans-73-billion-handout-for-trump-s-war-in-iran"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0106009431183338, "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"}
