This week, we found out that he ordered potentially unlawful strikes in the Caribbean, while the Pentagon watchdog found that he potentially risked servicemembers\u2019 lives by sharing battleplans via Signal.\n\n\u201cI will not allow unqualified nominees, this White House, or the President to undermine the rule of law and our national security.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "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.bennet.senate.gov/2025/12/04/bennet-statement-on-blocking-88-trump-nominees/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8248230442404747, "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"}
