Today, Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03) released the following statement after the House voted 316  113 to pass the Omnibus spending package:\nAmerica needed Congress to rise to the occasion to fight the tyranny, incompetence, and corruption coming out of the White House. Instead, Congress folded like a cheap suit and gave the President practically everything he wanted. Voting no on this Omnibus spending bill was one of the easiest things Ive ever done in Congress. The bill catered to Washingtons desires while completely ignoring the concerns of the American people.\nThe White House is creating a national security disaster through its refugee and visa programs, yet Congress lacked the will to stand up and put a stop to it in order to protect our citizens. In a tragic betrayal of the peoples trust, Congress will actually spend more money under a Republican controlled Senate than it did when the Senate was controlled by Democrats.\nSome Members of the Congress are so risk averse that they will agree to anything to avoid a government shutdown. Unfortunately, when Members of Congress worry more about keeping their jobs than standing up for freedom, the American people lose every time.\nThis is more than a missed opportunity. This is a blow to our Constitution and our entire system of government. I am ashamed that there werent more Members joining with me to oppose this horrible bill.\n###", 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": ["http://jeffduncan.house.gov/press-release/rep-jeff-duncan-votes-no-11t-funding-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.003568060696125, "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"}
