This bill passed the House by a vote of XXX to XXX.\r\n            It is important that we continue to work on legislation that brings relief to hardworking Americans. Last year, we took a step in reforming our tax code by passing tax reform. Earlier this year, the House passed tax reform 2.0. Now, we are taking a third step to continue to help our economy thrive, Thornberry said. With our progress on tax reform, we have seen a lot of growth in our economy, Americans keeping more of the money they earn, and jobs being created.\r\n            Highlights:\r\n            \r\n                Includes special tax relief benefits forindividuals and businesses affected by recent natural disasters;\r\n                Helps businesses provide retirement plans for their workers and helps families to start saving earlier;\r\n                Makes key technical corrections to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act;\r\n                Further delays several Obamacare taxes, including the medical device tax and health insurer tax;\r\n                Makes the railroad track maintenance credit permanent; and\r\n                Updates the IRS and makes taxpayer service the focus of the agency.\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n        \r\n        \r\n            ###\r\n        \r\n    \r\n\r\n    \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      f \r\n      t \r\n      #\r\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://thornberry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398366"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8185501210391521, "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"}
