James Lankford

I believe the Supreme Court has said, obviously, that you cannot single out houses of worship.

Center for American Progress is eager to continue working with leaders across the country to follow the President's example and explore opportunities to take action now, without waiting for recalcitrant legislature.

In the face of persistent inaction in Congress to close the gaps in the nation's gun laws that leave many communities vulnerable to near daily gun violence, today's comments and actions demonstrate this Administration's continued…

Congress should look for ways to collaborate with critical industries in order to drive solutions that address systemic inequities.

The ARA supports proposals--like Senator Lankford's and Senator Bennet's Enhancing Emergency and Retirement Savings Act (S. 1870, 117th Congress)...

We support the Enhancing Emergency and Retirement Savings Act of 2021 introduced by Senators Jim Lankford and Michael Bennet.

Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.

This should not be a partisan issue. This is an issue we should be able to work together on.

I appreciate that--trying to deal with multiple-employer plans.

ERIC believes that allowing for emergency savings accounts as part of retirement savings plans is critical.

We think it is a really important issue.

I think that would be a dreadful mistake in the process, to be able to have $1 billion spent.

In the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector, which last week alone had 20,000 encounters with people illegally crossing the border.

When that stopped in construction for all of those phases on January 20th, there was ordered a 60-day study.

I need to walk through a couple of the details in your budget.

They are looking for a few more months of time to be able to hand over the final report so they can show you what is actually happening to the population count there.

That is pretty disheartening to be able to see that.

There is just an expectation that--when a court order stepped in and said 'Hey, this is not legal to just stop this indefinitely'--that there isn't actually going to be progress made toward this.

So you do not see a gain in all UIOs having the exact same entity for accreditation? You see a gain in them having flexibility, or at least not a problem with them having flexibility for their accreditation?

But the bill we are discussing today would eliminate that disparity, so that you have greater flexibility, is that correct?

I applaud Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Senator James Lankford (R-OK) for introducing the Urban Indian Health Providers Facilities Improvement Act.

We need to make sure that our policies reflect the realities of tribal life.

Oklahoma UIOs serve the second largest population next to California and are a critical part of the Indian health system.

I am trying to figure out where this is going. Because if, again, we know someone is not following the law and we ignore it, then we have a law that we are not applying at all.

Lankford didn`t vote in the Senate to overturn the presidential election results to try to keep Trump in power.
