The U.S government must take strong action to cut the Chinese Communist Party out of our networks. Americans deserve both reliable and secure telecommunications technologies,\" said Cotton.\n\n\u201cWith states across the country mapping out their plans for quality and affordable high-speed internet as a result of historic funding from the American Rescue Plan, we\u2019ve got to make sure no community is sacrificing network security,\u201d said Warner. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m joining Sen. Cotton on a bipartisan bill to ensure states do not purchase equipment or services from companies that pose national security risks \u2013 such as Huawei and ZTE.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:03:51Z"]], "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.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-warner-introduce-bill-to-prohibit-funding-for-huawei-chinese-technology"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8145158644765615, "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"}
