Loebsack questioned United States Army Lieutenant General Raymond Mason, Deputy Chief of Staff, Logistics and Marine Corps Lieutenant General William Faulkner, Deputy Commandant for Installations and Logistics. When asked for his assessment of what the shutdown means to the civilian workforce who support our troops and who have been furloughed, Faulkner stated \u201cWords like disruptive and unfortunate don\u2019t even begin to address the impact of this shutdown on our Marine civilians.\u201dLieutenant General Faulkner followed up this statement by saying: \u201cmore descriptive words such as disrespectful are more appropriate.\u201d\u201cWe are now in our second day of the shutdown and I could not agree with the General more. This shutdown is disrespectful to our troops, as well as the civilians who work day and night to support them. Republicans and Democrats must come together immediately to find a way forward to end this needless shutdown,\u201d said Congressman Loebsack. \u00a0Video of remark can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrCtOguQEHUThe full video of Loebsack\u2019s questions can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncUR3_vcSrg&feature=youtu.be", 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://loebsack.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=352171"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7433751598000526, "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"}
