And while I\u2019m disappointed with yet another short-term continuing resolution, I\u2019m glad to see House Republicans take a step back from the brink in holding our government hostage. This legislation will prevent, at least for now, economic uncertainty and disruptions to vital services that Americans count on while ensuring our federal workers and servicemembers are paid. Just as the passage of this measure was bipartisan, our work to pass funding legislation for the rest of fiscal year 2024 and address our urgent national security obligations must also be bipartisan. Over the next several weeks, we must work together to responsibly fund our FY24 domestic priorities, provide critical military assistance to the people of Ukraine, support Israel\u2019s defense needs, and extend desperately needed humanitarian aid to areas in critical need \u2013 including to civilians in Gaza. The American people and our allies around the world are watching \u2013 and counting on us to get this done.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "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-vote-to-avert-shutdown"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.911409966647625, "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"}
