Senators Lankford and Hassan on shutdown impact
The article discusses ongoing efforts in the U.S. Senate to permanently eliminate government shutdowns through the "Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026." It highlights the damaging effects of past shutdowns on federal workers, essential services, and the economy, emphasizing bipartisan support for a measure that would require Congress to pass full-year funding bills or face an automatic resolution that keeps the government operational. The proposal aims to prevent shutdowns by forcing Congress to stay in session until budget disagreements are resolved, reducing political hostage-taking and protecting critical services.
