The passage of a 47-day funding bill based on the overwhelming support of Democrats bears that out.\n\n\u201cAlthough it is good that the government won\u2019t shut down, it is deeply disappointing that the MAGA Right has succeeded in stripping out much needed assistance for Ukraine. Even Leader McConnell has said, \u201cIt\u2019s certainly not the time to go wobbly\u201d in our effort to support Ukraine. I am hopeful he can convince the Speaker and his colleagues to allow a vote on this important funding.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s also time for the Speaker and the House GOP leaders to come to the table and negotiate full-year funding bills without the draconian cuts and poison pills that won\u2019t pass in the either the House or the Senate. Forty-seven days isn\u2019t much time. So it\u2019s time to get to work.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "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.reed.senate.gov/news/releases/reed-statement-on-vote-to-avert-a-shutdown"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8129281923174858, "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"}
