It also delivers critical funding for the Office of Science and supports national labs across the U.S. with the funding needed to continue their critical, cutting-edge work and prevent devastating layoffs. It blocks the Department of Energy\u2019s senseless plan to slash critical research with its indirect cost policy. The bill provides nearly $10 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers, including $190 million to get the Howard Hanson Dam Project in Washington state back on track, along with so many other projects that were defunded by Russ Vought in a brazen and corrupt act of political retribution.\n\n\u201cPassing a full-year Energy and Water Development bill is critical in preventing President Trump and Vought from having the power to unilaterally decide where taxpayer dollars go, and I am committed to reaching bipartisan agreement with my colleagues on this bill and the remainder of our funding bills\u2014and to getting them signed into law.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "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.murray.senate.gov/senator-murray-statement-on-release-of-partisan-energy-and-water-development-bill/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7981429807841778, "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"}
