It maintains spending levels established in last year\u2019s budget agreement, spending levels which match the lowest discretionary spending in 9 years. \u00a0Additionally, this bill cuts IRS funding by $345 million, cuts funding for and staffing levels at the EPA, and prevents a taxpayer bailout of big insurance companies.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u201cMost importantly this legislation only extends funding for the Department Homeland Security through February. At that time, Republican majorities in the House and Senate can work together to fight President Obama\u2019s unprecedented executive action on immigration before his Administration begins processing applications -- without the President or Democratic Congressional minority scaring the American people with threats of the government shutting down. \u00a0The majority of Americans are opposed to the President\u2019s lawless immigration action. \u00a0House Republicans remain committed to stopping it and truly addressing our nation\u2019s immigration crisis with a larger Republican majority in the 114th Congress.\u201d", 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://mchenry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=397697"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4854897744953632, "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"}
