Chuck Schumer continues to keep the government shut for two reasons.\n\n\u201cNumber one, they have a big rally. Democrats on the far left \u2013 they have a big rally, No Kings rally, next Saturday the 18th. They\u2019re not opening the government. They\u2019re going to let our troops go unpaid so they can have a big turnout for the rally.\n\n\u201cNumber two, they will keep the government shut down just to provide health care for illegal immigrants while depriving women, infants, and children with the resources necessary to take care of their families.\n\n\u201cYou can count on me to keep the government open. I voted for it several times. I\u2019ll vote for it again. That\u2019s what\u2019s at stake. Our law enforcement, our troops, and those vulnerable people waiting for the Democrats to open the government.\n\n\u201cSchumer, stop the Schumer shutdown right now.\u201d\n\nSenator Scott is co-sponsoring the Pay Our Military Act to ensure servicemembers are paid during the government shutdown.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/sen-scott-stop-the-schumer-shutdown-right-now/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5737279318273067, "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"}
