Even after the Supreme Court ruled against the president, he is still trying to force billions of dollars of debt onto hardworking taxpayers. He is determined to insult every American who played by the rules and worked hard to responsibly pay off their own debt,\u201d said Senator Barrasso. \u201cAt a time when prices are still on the rise, the last thing Wyoming families need is another unfair financial expense. This CRA will hold the administration accountable and make sure no taxpayer in Wyoming, or across the country, is stuck paying off someone else\u2019s student loans.\u201d\n\n\u201cPresident Biden\u2019s continued pursuit of this student loan payback scheme shows just how separated he is from reality. People in Wyoming who did not pursue a college degree, paid back their own loans or worked hard to pay for their education should not be responsible for someone else\u2019s voluntary financial decisions. I\u2019m proud to introduce this resolution to protect people in Wyoming from this unfair policy,\u201d said Senator Lummis.\n\nClick here for a one-pager on the IDR rule.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:35:26Z"]], "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://www.barrasso.senate.gov/newsroom-news-releases-barrasso-lummis-join-colleagues-in-introducing-cra-to-overturn-bidens-newest-student-loan-scheme/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4400361105799675, "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"}
