Earlier\r\nthis week, the Senators and the Problem Solvers Caucus shared\r\ntwo bills, one of which, the bipartisan COVID-19 Emergency Relief\r\nAct of 2020, is serving as the framework for the final COVID-19 relief\r\npackage. Today\r\nwe find ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic that has taken the lives\r\nof more than 310,000 Americans, and hours away from a government shutdown that\r\nthreatens to delay urgent aid to people in need throughout the nation. We must\r\nset our differences aside. The American people elected us to govern on their\r\nbehalf, and at a time when they need us more than ever we must end the partisan\r\ngames and meet this moment together for the good of the country. On Monday, our\r\nbipartisan, bicameral group presented a bill that helps provide for the\r\nemergency needs of the millions of families struggling to make ends meet. Once\r\nagain, we encourage the leaders to finish what we started and deliver immediate\r\nassistance to the workers, families and businesses that need it most.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 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.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/bipartisan-bicameral-group-finish-what-we-started"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7589978631585836, "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"}
