He is threatening to double down on the failed actions of Elon Musk and his chainsaw \u2014 going after patriotic civil servants that provide Americans with critical services \u2014 despite having to rehire many of these workers after Americans experienced the negative impact of those cuts. These dedicated workers have nothing to do with the ongoing political and policy disputes that have brought us to the brink of a shutdown. These threats are not only an attack on Americans\u2019 services and benefits, they\u2019re also likely illegal. We\u2019ll be fighting back with every tool we have.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-releases/van-hollen-statement-on-omb-memo"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9451690129935741, "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"}
