All valid concerns \u2013 concerns we have already voted on, and that I have already voted for. Then the resolution nonsensically concludes that, because of these concerns, we need the SAVE America Act, an unrelated Act that I have already voted against. Several times.\n\nThis bill takes two separate ideas and asks us to vote on them as if they are related. In other words, it\u2019s a desperately laid trap by a flailing Republican majority. I am not here in Washington to play games with the people\u2019s precious time. So, today I voted PRESENT on H.Res.1490. Because I already voted for a resolution condemning authoritarian socialist regimes and because I already voted against the SAVE America Act.\n\nThis \u201cresolution\u201d is purely symbolic and does not have the force of law. It is not binding nor is it likely to even get a vote in the Senate. It does nothing substantive to fix our economy or help our families, or to protect our elections from foreign or domestic interference or to prevent oppressive governments of any ideology.\n\nIf Speaker Johnson is truly interested in protecting our elections, he should bring real voting rights legislation for a vote instead of meaningless resolutions that may look like we're taking action but in fact, are not. If Congressional Republicans want to protect us from authoritarian rule, they should take real action to reign in President Trump\u2019s lawless administration.", 1, "2026-09-02T09:19:58Z", "2026-09-02T09:20:51Z"]], "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": ["http://houlahan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5164"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9123869240283966, "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"}
