Westerman. \"Such a board has every possibility of corruption and exploitation, and I fear it\u2019s only a matter of time before it\u2019s weaponized against any Administration\u2019s political opponents. Biden\u2019s misinformation 'experts' are humans, fully capable of bias and dishonesty, as seen in the Board\u2019s Executive Director Nina Jankowicz, who has already been exposed for extreme political bias. I expect further investigation would find similar problems with every member of such a board, not because they are inherently unethical, but because they are human.\n\nI call for the immediate disbandment of this \u201cTruth Ministry.\u201d Americans will not stand for the erosion of their Constitutional rights in the name of fighting misinformation. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas should focus more on securing our southern border than undermining our Constitution.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:29:07Z"]], "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://westerman.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/westerman-statement-bidens-truth-ministry"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7985308766365051, "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"}
