It explains his tireless effort to make the American dream a reality for even the most disadvantaged family.\u201d\n\nAfter the ceremony, Senator Collins met with Governor Brennan\u2019s wife, Connie, and other members of his family and friends.\n\nSenator Collins also honored her former colleagues, Senators Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Dianne Feinstein of California, and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, during her remarks at the event.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "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.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/senator-collins-honors-joe-brennan-at-former-member-of-congress-memorial-service"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0554110631346703, "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"}
