We\u2019re working on all of those things right now, again, very constructively with each other to try to resolve it.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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.corker.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-list?ContentRecord_id=88D045F4-12C2-4A48-B715-B3771C45F233"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2741400860249996, "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"}
