Lankford, Hassan Team Up to End Government Shutdowns and Hold Congress Accountable - Senator James Lankford
Position: Senators Lankford and Hassan support legislation that would prevent government shutdowns by requiring Congress to remain in session until appropriations are completed, implementing automatic continuing resolutions if spending bills are not passed on time.
WASHINGTON, DC — US Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) reintroduced the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026, which would take government shutdowns off the table and force Congress to stay in town until their work is done.
"Americans are tired of worthless government shutdown drama and Congress using federal workers and government services as pawns in political standoffs,” said Lankford. “The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act ends government shutdowns forever with a simple idea: if Congress doesn't do its job, Congress doesn't get to go home. We shift the pressure off the American people and onto the people they elected. We came within three votes of passing this before, and it is time to finish the job."
“Government shutdowns are costly, avoidable, and make people in New Hampshire and across the country pay the price for the failures of Congress,” said Hassan. “This commonsense, bipartisan bill incentivizes Congress to fund the government on time and ensures that there is a plan in place to protect families and our economy if Congress cannot come to an agreement.”
Joining Lankford and Hassan in introducing the bipartisan legislation are Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Steve Daines (R-MT), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Britt (R-AL), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Dave McCormick (R-PA), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), John Kennedy (R-LA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Tim Scott (R-SC), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), John Fetterman (D-PA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Mark Kelly (D-AZ).
Companion legislation has been introduced in the House by Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX-19) and Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19).
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), Americans for Prosperity (AFP), International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), Partnership for Public Service (PPS), Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC), and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) are supporting the legislation.
Introduced initially in February 2019, the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act requires that if appropriations work is not done on time, all Members of Congress must stay in Washington, DC, and work until the spending bills are completed. This will prevent a government-wide shutdown, continue critical services and operations for Americans, and hold federal workers harmless while Congress completes appropriations.
Upon a lapse in government funding, the bill would implement an automatic continuing resolution (CR) on rolling 14-day periods, based on the most current spending levels enacted in the previous fiscal year. This would prevent a shutdown and continue critical services and operations.
During the covered period of an automatic CR, the following restrictions are put in place:
In addition, under the bill, no other votes would be in order in the House and Senate unless they pertain to passage of the appropriations bills or mandatory quorum calls in the Senate. However, after 30 days under the automatic CR, certain expiring authorization bills and executive calendar nominations would be eligible for consideration on the Senate floor, including a nomination for a Justice of the Supreme Court or a Cabinet Secretary, and narrow reauthorization legislation for programs operating under an authorization that has already expired or will expire within the next 30 days. These restrictions can be waived by a two-thirds vote in either chamber, but not for longer than seven days.

Lankford, Rosen Introduce Comprehensive Bipartisan Bill to Fight Antisemitism - Senator James Lankford
Position: Senators Lankford and Rosen introduce comprehensive bipartisan legislation to combat antisemitism through Title VI enforcement on college campuses, increased security funding for at-risk institutions, and social media platform transparency requirements.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, US Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV), co-founders and co-chairs of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism, introduced the Jewish American Security Act, a comprehensive bill to strengthen federal efforts to fight antisemitism – including in US academic settings, at Jewish communal institutions, and online. The bipartisan legislation would require the Department of Education to develop and implement a comprehensive Title VI framework to combat antisemitism on college campuses, make available additional funding for security resources for at-risk houses of worship and other nonprofit institutions, and hold large social media platforms accountable by requiring transparency regarding their handling of antisemitic content online.
“Since October 7th, Jews in America have faced an unprecedented surge in antisemitism. These are not just numbers, these are real stories impacting real people,” said Lankford. “Jewish students being targeted on campuses. Synagogues being vandalized. People being attacked in the streets simply because of their faith and heritage. That is not who we are as a nation, and we unequivocally condemn antisemitism in all its forms. Every American deserves to live their faith freely. That is worth fighting for.”
“Our nation is facing an epidemic of antisemitism – year after year we are seeing unprecedented levels of antisemitic violence and harassment. Jewish Americans are being targeted, attacked, and killed simply because of who they are. This alarming trend demands a comprehensive, bipartisan approach that addresses both the seeds and the impacts of this vile hatred,” said Rosen. “From social media to college campuses, we’ve seen how this bigotry manifests into real-world violence against Jews. That’s why we must take concrete steps to understand the extent of antisemitism – both online and offline – and ensure that Jewish communities have access to robust security resources and government protections. I’m proud to introduce the Jewish American Security Act with Senator Lankford to strengthen efforts to fight antisemitism at the federal level and keep Jewish Americans safe.”

This legislation is supported by the American Jewish Committee, ADL, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (“Orthodox Union”), Jewish Federations of North America, Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, Secure Community Network, The Rabbinical Assembly, Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America, Jewish Women International, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ), the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, JCC Association of North America, the Nexus Project, Union for Reform Judaism, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and Agudath Israel of America.
Below are the statements from organizations endorsing this legislation:
"The data is unambiguous: Jewish Americans are under threat in their communities, on their campuses and online, and the federal government must act,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of ADL. “ADL's Audit of Antisemitic Incidents recorded 6,274 incidents in 2025 alone, including 203 physical assaults, the most we have ever recorded, and three murders. The Jewish American Security Act meets this moment with the seriousness it demands. By strengthening the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, bolstering protections for Jewish students, and increasing accountability for online platforms, this bill equips law enforcement, educators, and communities with the tools they need to respond. We commend Senators Rosen and Lankford, for their bipartisan commitment to combating antisemitism and standing up for Jewish Americans, and we urge Congress to pass this legislation without delay.”
“No American should need a security perimeter to pray. No American should be afraid to leave their home or visit a cultural center of their choosing. Yet, that is exactly what Jews in this country are experiencing every day,” said American Jewish Committee (AJC) CEO Ted Deutch. “We are at an inflection point. Surging antisemitism is not just a threat to the Jewish community; it is a crisis for our democracy and the values we cherish as Americans – pluralism, religious freedom, and the promise of equal protection. We thank Senators Rosen and Lankford for their leadership and demonstrating that confronting this hatred is not a political issue, but a moral obligation.”
“Jewish communities across the United States are facing a real and growing security crisis, and the federal government has a responsibility to ensure that all Americans can gather, worship, and live openly and safely as who they are. Jewish Federations of North America and the communities we represent are deeply grateful to Senators Rosen and Lankford for co-leading and introducing this landmark security package at a moment when threats, fear, and violence have become part of daily life for far too many Jewish families and institutions,” said Hon. Eric D. Fingerhut, President and CEO of Jewish Federations of North America. “This legislation represents one of the strongest congressional responses we have seen to the alarming rise in antisemitism and targeted violence against the Jewish community. It sends a clear and unmistakable message: protecting Jewish Americans is not optional — it is an urgent national priority. We are proud to support this effort and urge Congress to act swiftly, because no American should have to live in fear simply for being Jewish.”
“The Secure Community Network proudly supports the Jewish American Security Act and is grateful for the bipartisan leadership of Senators Rosen and Lankford in advancing this critical legislation. In recent weeks alone, we have seen targeted attacks on Jewish schools, children, and synagogues, and the arrest of an individual directing violence against Jewish communities from abroad. These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a coordinated and escalating threat environment that demands a sustained federal response,” said Michael Masters, National Director & CEO of Secure Community Network (SCN). “This bill reflects long-standing priorities SCN has raised through expert testimony and engagement with policymakers and law enforcement partners. It meets the urgency of this moment by strengthening information sharing, assessing emerging threats, and breaking down silos. We are grateful for the bipartisan effort that brought this forward. It is a matter of safety, security, and the enduring promise of a nation where faith-based life can flourish without fear.”
"The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America strongly supports the Jewish American Security Act (“JASA”). Sadly, the American Jewish community is facing an unprecedented wave of antisemitism and that demands an unprecedented response by our government. The JASA is part of such a response and Congress ought to pass it as soon as possible. It will authorize essential funding for NSGP grants to Jewish synagogues and schools, direct the Justice Department to allocate funds to local police to better protect our communities and provide long-overdue, but sensible, protections for Jewish students on college campuses by demanding that their rights under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act are protected as much as the rights of other students,” said Nathan Diament, Executive Director of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. “We thank Senators Lankford and Rosen for their leadership and partnership on this legislation and look forward to working with them and other allies to have it enacted into law.”
“Antisemitism has reached crisis proportions in the US, demanding a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach,” said Carol Ann Schwartz, National President of Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organization of America. “Hadassah is proud to support the Jewish American Security Act, critical legislation that would fund the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, strengthen civil rights protections for Jewish students and study the correlation between online antisemitism and violence against Jews. We thank Senators Rosen and Lankford for their bipartisan leadership and urge Congress to act swiftly to safeguard Jewish communities across the country."
“Jewish Americans face antisemitism wherever they turn: at school, at synagogue and even at home thanks to the cesspool of unabashed antisemitism that is growing exponentially online,” said Rabbi A.D. Motzen, Agudath Israel of America’s National Director of Government Affairs. “The bipartisan Jewish American Security Act addresses all of these forms of hate in one comprehensive bill and deserves to be enacted by Congress as soon as possible.
“At a moment of rising, increasingly-violent antisemitism, it's vital that we invest in whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches that will keep Jewish and all communities safe. The Jewish American Security Act takes important steps forward, like strengthening the Education Department, supporting equal and unbiased Title VI enforcement, helping protect Nonprofit Security Grants from political interference, countering online extremism and hate, and recognizing the inextricable link between Jewish safety and our democracy,” said Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. “Make no mistake: there is no truly inclusive, pluralistic democracy unless antisemitism is addressed and Jews are safe. So too does Jewish safety require protecting the democratic norms and values that have long protected us — and we will continue to reject the false choice we're too often offered between countering antisemitism and protecting our democracy and our rights.”
“Jewish Women International applauds Senators Rosen and Lankford for introducing the Jewish American Security Act, which addresses the growing antisemitic violence, vandalism and threats American Jewish communities have faced over the last few years,” said Meredith Jacobs, CEO of Jewish Women International. “While no one should have to fear being targeted because they’re Jewish, as JWI, we are particularly aware of how young, Jewish women are experiencing this moment and the threats they feel both in person and online. This bill would strengthen protections in schools, expand security support for communal institutions and require greater transparency around antisemitism on major online platforms. We’re proud to endorse it.”
“We are grateful for the bipartisan leadership behind the ‘Jewish American Security Act,’ a serious and necessary response to the rise in antisemitism,” said William C. Daroff, CEO of Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. “We commend Senators Rosen and Lankford for advancing this comprehensive legislation that strengthens protections for Jewish students, secures synagogues and communal institutions, and addresses the spread of antisemitism online. This legislation meets the moment. Congress should move it forward without delay.”
“College campuses are one of the last remaining places where young adults of different backgrounds and belief systems can engage face-to-face to break down walls and bridge divides,” said Adam Katz, President of the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. “At the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, we’ve leveraged this opportunity and taken our work to campuses across the country, standing up programming to foster healthy, respectful dialogue, and to ultimately engage students in the fight against antisemitism and all forms of hate. We are proud to support the bipartisan Jewish American Security Act, which will provide the resources and infrastructure required to protect Jewish students and to turn the tide on rising antisemitism. Defeating hate requires partnership and investment from both the public and private sectors. This legislation represents an incredible step forward in the fight to defeat hate and brings us closer to our shared goal of creating welcoming campus communities where all students can unlock their full potential.”
“At this perilous moment of violent antisemitism experienced by congregants, clergy, and congregations in our own Reform Jewish community and beyond, the need for meaningful steps to bolster security and the fight against hate is vital. The Jewish American Security Act strengthens the government tools and funding that will be available to help us meet this moment and uphold the American commitment to religious freedom,” said Rabbi Jonah Pesner, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
Lankford, Cotton, Colleagues to Trump: Eliminate UN Agency that Employs Hamas-Terrorists - Senator James Lankford
Position: The senators urge the Trump administration to work with the United Nations to fully dismantle UNRWA, citing documented ties between UNRWA employees and Hamas, and arguing that the agency must be eliminated to support Israel's security and prevent terrorism.
WASHINGTON, DC — US Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Tom Cotton (R-AR), joined by 23 colleagues, sent a letter to President Trump requesting that his administration work with the United Nations (UN) to fully dismantle and eliminate the budget of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Numerous UNRWA employees have ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups, yet they continue to receive millions of dollars annually from the UN.
Joining Lankford and Cotton in sending the letter are Senators Jim Banks (R-IN), John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Britt (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Curtis (R-UT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), John Hoeven (R-ND), Mike Lee (R-UT), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Dave McCormick (R-PA), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).
In part, the Senators wrote, “We strongly urge your administration to take decisive action to fully dismantle UNRWA and eliminate it from the UN budget. Any aid organization in Gaza or otherwise must be demonstrably free of ties to terrorism and committed to transparency, accountability, and peace. We must ensure this failed system doesn’t continue reinforcing the conditions that have fueled terrorism for generations. The time to act is now.”
Read the full letter text HERE or below:
We strongly support your administration’s efforts to preserve Israel’s long-term security and ensure that Gaza has a future free of Hamas’s terrorist influence. Your strong leadership has been instrumental in advancing a comprehensive 20-point peace plan that demands Hamas disarm and play no role in Gaza governance. Achieving stability in Gaza requires ridding Gaza of the military, social, and political infrastructure that fed Hamas’s power. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is one such structure that must be dismantled, not just in Gaza but across the region.
Established in 1949 as a temporary relief agency, UNRWA operates across Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. In defiance of its mission, extensive reports, investigations, and intelligence assessments have confirmed UNRWA’s systemic infiltration by Hamas and other U.S.-designated terrorist organizations. Yet America continued to fund UNRWA.
Israel found that at least twelve UNRWA employees participated in the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, and that roughly ten percent of the agency’s employees in Gaza have ties to terrorist groups. Recently, a USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigation identified three additional UNRWA employees who participated in the attacks as well as 14 others affiliated with Hamas. The USAID OIG is expanding its probe to examine more than 100 UNRWA employees for potential ties to Hamas and involvement in the attacks.
Since October 7, Hamas has repeatedly diverted UNRWA’s supplies, used its facilities to hide weapons stockpiles and tunnel infrastructure, and even used its buildings to hold hostages. UNRWA’s educational curriculum glorifies terrorism and antisemitism. Yet while the United States has suspended direct funding and Israel has banned the agency from operating on its territory, UNRWA remains active in Gaza. UNRWA continues to receive $70 million annually from the United Nations regular budget – of which the United States provides roughly a quarter.
We strongly urge your administration to take decisive action to fully dismantle UNRWA and eliminate it from the UN budget. Any aid organization in Gaza or otherwise must be demonstrably free of ties to terrorism and committed to transparency, accountability, and peace. We must ensure this failed system doesn’t continue reinforcing the conditions that have fueled terrorism for generations. The time to act is now.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We stand prepared to assist.
