Virginia Foxx (R-NC) defended the GOP-led 119th Congress as the most aggressive, successful, and productive since the 80th Congress in 1949 (later adjusted to since 1979), citing 899 total measures passed by the House, $82 billion in tax relief with 97% of filers receiving cuts, and 23 regulations lifted.

Aaron Bean Queries Welfare Experts on Benefit Cliffs, Work Incentives in 1996 Reform Hearing

Sep 3, 2026

In a House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Work and Welfare hearing marking 30 years of 1996 welfare reform, Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL) praised the shift from AFDC to TANF for reducing dependency, out-of-wedlock births, and intergenerational poverty while increasing work. He asked expert witnesses how to address 'benefit cliffs' where earning more reduces benefits enough to discourage work. Panelists Scott Winship (AEI), Matt Damschroder (Ohio JFS), and Misty Kelso (success story from Watered Gardens Ministries) discussed phaseout rates, mental health/addiction barriers, and individualized approaches. Bean defended recent legislation's work requirements, stating it did not cut healthcare but required able-bodied adults to work (with exemptions for mothers).

Scanlon and Huffman Criticize Mining and Lobster Bills in House Hearing

Sep 1, 2026

The Forbes Breaking News clip shows a House Natural Resources Committee markup or hearing segment where Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) and Ranking Member Jared Huffman (D-CA) criticize two bills: the Protecting Domestic Mining Act (H.R. 1501), which expands FAST-41 eligibility to more mining projects, and the Northeast Lobsterman Protection Act (H.R. 9436), which extends a moratorium on new North Atlantic right whale fishing gear regulations from 2028 to 2035. They argue the mining bill eliminates prioritization of critical minerals and public environmental reviews, while the lobster bill halts progress on ropeless/on-demand gear that could reduce whale entanglements. Huffman notes the 1872 Mining Law already favors industry; both highlight lack of tribal input on other issues.

Westerman cites USGS 2026 data to advocate FAST-41 coverage for mining projects

Sep 1, 2026

The Forbes Breaking News clip shows Rep. Bruce Westerman, chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, responding during a hearing on expedited permitting for mining. He references the USGS and Commerce Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 to illustrate the economic multiplier effect of mined materials and highlights repeated Chinese dominance in critical minerals charts. Westerman argues that U.S. deposits exist in sufficient quantities but permitting laws have been weaponized, advocating inclusion of mining under the FAST-41 process without eliminating environmental reviews. The segment features supportive comments from Rep. Fischbach and focuses on H.R. 1501 (Protecting Domestic Mining Act of 2025), which would amend the FAST Act to cover mining and mineral processing projects. Westerman notes the current administration's use of FAST-41 and the need to codify it permanently.
