Rather than finding a bipartisan path forward, President Trump has been tweeting about his new marble bathroom, sending $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to his buddies in Argentina, and building a $250 million-dollar White House ballroom. Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson hasn\u2019t allowed the House to vote in 47 days.\n\n\u201cThroughout this shutdown, we\u2019ve seen the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress continue their assault on hardworking Americans. From firing federal workers to illegally withholding SNAP benefits from millions of hungry families, Republicans in Washington have shown that they\u2019re more interested in hurting innocent Americans to make a political point than actually passing policies to make their lives easier.\n\n\u201cAs I have said since the moment this shutdown started, I\u2019m ready to work with anyone on commonsense legislation to open the government, protect health care, and lower costs for hardworking Americans.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "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://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-lee-statement-longest-government-shutdown-american-history"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8050077594816685, "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"}
