Carter, Sr. (D-LA) released the following statement:\n\n\u201cIt has been widely reported that the President has canceled a critical meeting to address the looming shutdown. Make no mistake: a government shutdown would be devastating for the people of Louisiana and for federal workers across this country who serve with honor every day.\n\n\u201cRepublicans are playing a reckless game with people\u2019s lives. Canceling meetings, canceling votes, and refusing to negotiate is not leadership \u2014 it\u2019s abandonment of duty. To shut down the government is, in truth, to shut down the American people. It\u2019s reckless, it\u2019s irresponsible, and it\u2019s selfish.\n\n\u201cDemocrats remain ready to work around the clock to protect families, keep healthcare affordable, and ensure government stays open. While extremists look for ways to divide and delay, we are prepared to deliver solutions. The American people are counting on it, and I will not stop fighting for them.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-troy-carter-reacts-trump-cancelling-federal-funding-meeting-democrats"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2927819043397903, "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"}
