And instead of lowering costs for families before the holidays or protecting women\u2019s freedom to make their own health decisions, House Republicans are taking orders from Donald Trump to force through a partisan, political impeachment with no evidence, no witnesses, and no wrongdoing on behalf of the President.\n\nMeanwhile, as we speak, Kate Cox, a pregnant woman from Texas, is being forced to flee her home as Republican leaders try to force her to carry her baby to term who was diagnosed with a terrible condition that would result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or death soon after birth.\n\nWe could\u2019ve come to the floor today to pass legislation like the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act to protect women like Kate Cox and to prevent that kind of physical harm and trauma from being inflicted on women living under Republican abortion bans. But House Republicans choose impeachment.\n\nThe American people won\u2019t forget.\n\nI yield back.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-06T14:24:52Z", "2026-04-06T15:55:17Z"]], "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://trahan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3074"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9017509873956442, "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"}
