We\u2019ve got to get the budget done; make sure we don\u2019t shut down government\u2026 We don\u2019t work that hard. We only work two-and-half days a week. When I was in business, I was working seven days a week, and most people are at least working five days a week.\u201d\n\nFAUCI FALLOUT:\n\n\u201cThere was no logic to what Fauci did. He just lied. The gain of function \u2013 just a complete lie, the origin of Covid \u2013 complete lie. His diary showed that he believed different than what he was telling us\u2026 He\u2019s going to be held in contempt, it needs to be referred, and he\u2019s going to serve time for what he did.\u201d\n\nMEDICAID FRAUD:\n\n\u201cThe amount of fraud in the Medicaid program is unbelievable. First off, the way it\u2019s structured to where these states can use all sorts of gimmicks to get all this free federal money. And we, as the federal government, we give more money to states to take care of able-bodied adults than we do disabled Americans. This is the most foolishly set up program ever.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-06T07:37:31Z", "2026-08-06T07:38:34Z"]], "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.rickscott.senate.gov/2026/8/sen-rick-scott-highlights-senate-to-do-list-before-leaving-town-on-mornings-with-maria"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.947269843891263, "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"}
