Josh Hawley (R-MO). This bill bans the download and use of TikTok on federal government devices.\n\nIn September, Johnson has introduced a similar bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to block TikTok on federal government devices and on military bases and installations. Johnson\u2019s Block the Tok Act would also prohibit China from accessing Americans\u2019 user data from within China.\n\n\u201cTikTok is one of China\u2019s Trojan horses,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cThis app poses a national security threat and has safety implications for everyday Americans. I\u2019m encouraged to see progress at both the federal and state level to prohibit TikTok on government devices, but there is still work to be done. I\u2019m going to continue the effort to prohibit China\u2019s access to Americans\u2019 user data in the new Congress.\u201d\n\n19 states have banned the use and download of TikTok on state government devices.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "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://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-applauds-tiktok-ban-government-devices"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8744760416448116, "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"}
