This stunt reflects a Secretary who is primarily concerned with his public image and the approval of the President. It undermines the greatest military in the world to suggest that our senior-most officers need President Trump or Secretary Hegseth to tell them what it means to be a warfighter.\n\n\u201cLet\u2019s be clear: Taking senior military officers out of the field where they're needed\u2014including many who had to fly across the globe to be in-person\u2014to hear the President and Secretary deliver a politically-tinged made-for-TV address will not make us stronger or more lethal. The Secretary\u2019s job is to keep our service members safe and Americans out of harm\u2019s way \u2013 and today\u2019s speech was nothing short of a dereliction of that responsibility.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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": ["https://www.shaheen.senate.gov/news/press/shaheen-statement-on-hegseth-publicity-stunt-at-quantico"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.1136952564120293, "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"}
