As we continue our work to restore critical services in regions like the Nashoba Valley that are reeling from Steward\u2019s mismanagement, it\u2019s imperative that Ralph de la Torre be held accountable for ignoring a subpoena and investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice and federal regulators for his actions.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019m grateful to Senator Markey and Senator Warren for their work to organize this important hearing and for their continued commitment to the patients, providers, and communities impacted by Steward\u2019s predatory private equity business model.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-06T14:24:52Z", "2026-04-06T15:55:39Z"]], "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=3350"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.631867166608572, "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"}
