I want the people affected by this terrible storm to see speedy federal relief, and I want Iran to see great resolve when it comes to Congress\u2019 willingness to assist Israel. I am reaching out to Republican and Democratic colleagues to put a package together as soon as possible.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:55:29Z"]], "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.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=1ED2C77A-1D7B-42DC-A3D0-EF934C5948C8"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.100784797221422, "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"}
