It\u2019s a tremendous boost for our nation\u2019s undersea warfare capability as well as Connecticut\u2019s economy. The U.S. Navy continues to invest in Electric Boat\u2019s submarines because they\u2019re essential to national security, safeguarding our undersea superiority. The dedicated workers who make these boats are national heroes. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I\u2019ll be fighting for more resources to support their work,\u201d Blumenthal said.", 1, "2026-07-30T07:32:48Z", "2026-07-30T07:34:08Z"]], "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://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/blumenthal-statement-on-766-billion-for-electric-boat-to-produce-14-additional-columbia-and-virginia-class-submarines"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.471068874001503, "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"}
