This is an exciting time in medicine as scientists across Pennsylvania are researching cutting-edge treatments that could save millions of lives - such as using the body's own immune system to beat cancer as well as new ways to tackle Alzheimer's disease.\n\"I look forward to the President signing the CURES Act into law as it will provide additional resources for this critical research. The bill also will make significant reforms to our nation's broken mental health system, help communities across the commonwealth stop the scourge of opioid abuse, and accelerate the introduction of new, FDA-approved life-saving medicines.\"\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://toomey.senate.gov?p=news&id=1854"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2921071611344814, "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"}
