The program is designed to deal with national emergencies, not correct bad policy. The release of 50 million barrels is a Band-Aid because the root cause is the Democratic war on fossil fuel production in America.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump filled the reserves up with cheap oil. President Biden is releasing millions of barrels to control skyrocketing prices, which are the direct result of his bad policy choices. It won\u2019t work, and we will end up having to eventually replace the released oil at higher prices.\n\n\u201cFinally, the Democrats\u2019 Build Back Better proposal, which recently passed the House of Representatives, will dramatically decrease domestic oil production. It\u2019s a bad bill for American energy independence, and it will make the American oil and gas supply worse in every way.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "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=CA686F22-B059-458E-B411-489A1DA0DE94"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7293489761650562, "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"}
