I hope that Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell will move quickly to seek congressional approval of yesterdays action, so that the constitutional prerogatives of Congresss war-making authority are asserted. No escalation of military activity in Syria or the region can proceed without explicit congressional approval.\r\n\r\n\t###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://yarmuth.house.gov/press/yarmuth-statement-on-us-airstrikes-in-syria/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8594188839197159, "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"}
