This administration has shown nothing but contempt for immigrants, diversity, and Black people. And all these threats to withhold funding are just about whitewashing our history. But America was built on the backs of immigrants! Black immigrants were brought here in chains as slaves to build this nation. We can never forget that, and today, we\u2019re an immigrant-rich country. So, as this White House goes after all the museums, we must stand up and protect the truth. All Americans must unite to protect our history and protect the Smithsonian\u2019s independence to ensure unbiased content across its institutions. When we lose our history, we lose our democracy. And we must fight back and stand up for our history and democracy. The soul of our nation is on the line!\u201d", 1, "2026-04-16T05:48:36Z", "2026-04-16T05:50:08Z"]], "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://wilson.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-wilson-s-statement-on-the-white-house-threats-to-withhold-smithsonian-funding"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.797606073319912, "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"}
