Especially after the catastrophic siphon failure at St. Mary\u2019s this week, we must get this done. After years of hard work with the Fort Belknap Indian Community and local leaders on the ground, I\u2019m glad to see this come one step closer to becoming law.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "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.daines.senate.gov/2024/07/02/daines-celebrates-passage-of-bipartisan-bill-to-resolve-indian-water-rights-settlement-in-the-u-s-senate/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8390400800853968, "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"}
