The House of Representatives in January passed the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act (H.R. 7) with bipartisan support. The Senate is yet to take action on H.R. 7.\nRead the complete report online here.", 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://scalise.house.gov/press-release/another-day-another-obamacare-broken-promise"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8234791457653046, "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"}
