Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, who chairs the Senate Small Business Committee, is urging 24 federal agencies to halt funding for a Biden-expanded program for ‘socially and economically disadvantaged’ business owners now under fire for alleged fraud and corruption, Fox News Digital has learned.

‘Despite concerns with the 8(a) program, Joe Biden opened the floodgates to fraud,’Ernst told Fox News Digital about the program. ‘I have found evidence of alarming, potentially fraudulent 8(a) awards made across government that need to be investigated. The program must be halted at every agency while a thorough review is conducted to ensure taxpayers are not being ripped off by con artists. Tax dollars designed to help small businesses must actually benefit all small businesses.’

The federal government’s 8(a) program is an initiative under the Small Business Administration (SBA) to assist ‘socially and economically disadvantaged’ small businesses, according to the agency’s website, including training and counseling, and exclusive access to federal contracting opportunities.

Ernst sent letters to the chiefs of 24 federal agencies that have established 8(a) programs — stretching from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — calling on them to halt funding amid fraud concerns. 

‘The SBA’s 8(a) program is the largest set-aside program at the agency, which dished out $40+ billion in contract awards during fiscal year 2024 (FY 24) alone,’ Ernst wrote in the letters. ‘Yet decades of Government Accountability Office (GAO), SBA’s Office of Inspector General, and DOJ probes expose the same rot. Sloppy oversight and weak enforcement measures allow 8(a) participants to act as pass-through entities, snagging unlimited no-bid deals with little transparency.4 Every loophole guts public trust and rigs the system against honest competitors.’

Ernst said the Biden administration tripled the initiative’s contracting goals from an original aim of awarding 5% of federal contracts to 8(a) companies, up to 15% during his tenure. Ernst pointed to a recent Department of Justice bust in her push to halt funding, as well as an October guerrilla-style sting interview conducted by James O’Keefe that allegedly uncovered an 8(a) firm admitting ‘to Violating Federal Law, Using Minority-Owned Status as a Front to Obtain $100M+ No-Bid Government Contracts While Outsourcing 80% of the Work.’

The Department of Justice in June arrested four individuals in Maryland and Florida for running an alleged decade-long bribery scheme involving at least 14 8(a) contracts worth over $550 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars. One of the four men arrested was a government contractor for the United States Agency for International Development, according to the Department of Justice. The men pleaded guilty in the scheme. 

The scheme involved bribes such as cash, NBA tickets and a country club wedding, Fox News chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel reported in June. 

SBA Chief Kelly Loeffler ordered a full audit of all government contracting officers who have exercised grant-awarding authority under the agency’s business development program over the past 15 years back in June. She said the agency’s audit would begin with high-dollar and limited competition contracts within SBA’s 8(a) business development program. 

Loeffler, following O’Keefe’s investigation, opened an investigation related to that contract, she reported on X in October. 

The 8(a) program is facing intensifying heat after Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announced ‘a comprehensive audit of all contracts and task orders awarded under preference-based contracting, totaling approximately $9 billion in contract value across Treasury and its bureaus’ in November. 

The audit is focused on the ‘Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program, and other initiatives that provide federal contracting preferences to certain eligible businesses,’ the department reported at the time. 

That same month, Ernst introduced legislation, ‘Stop 8(a) Contracting Fraud Act,’ to halt funding to all new no-bid awards until a thorough audit and report of the program is conducted. 

Loeffler additionally sent letters to all 4,300 8(a) contractors across the federal government, which ordered ‘them to produce financial records as part of a comprehensive effort to root out fraud, waste, and abuse,’ she posted to X Friday. 

‘Evidence indicates that the 8(a) Program, initially designed for ‘socially and economically disadvantaged’ businesses, has become a pass-through vehicle for rampant abuse — especially during the Biden Administration, which aggressively prioritized DEI over merit in federal contracting,’ Loeffler added. 

‘While there’s no doubt that the Biden Administration’s indifference toward 8(a) program integrity enabled swindlers and fraudsters to treat federal contracting programs like personal piggy banks, 8(a) program flaws have raised alarm bells for decades,’ Ernst continued in her letters. 

Ernst is calling on the chiefs of the 24 agencies to pause contracting, audit current contracts, review set-aside contracts awarded by the respective agencies since fiscal year 2020 and to report to the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship with any findings by Dec. 22. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Biden’s office regarding his administration’s expansion of the program and recent investigations into alleged fraud schemes, but did not immediately receive a reply.

Fox News Digital’s Andrew Mark Miller and Peter Pinedo contributed to this report.

The Supreme Court will weigh the legality of President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission without cause on Monday — a blockbuster legal fight that could fundamentally reshape the balance of powers across the federal government, and formally topple a 90-year-old court precedent.  

Justices agreed earlier this year to take up the case, which centers on Trump’s firing of Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat, without cause and well before her term was slated to expire in 2029. 

Slaughter sued immediately to challenge her removal, arguing that it violated protections the Supreme Court enshrined in Humphrey’s Executor, a 1935 ruling that restricted a president’s ability to remove the heads of independent agencies, such as the FTC, without cause. 

Slaughter also argued her removal violates the Federal Trade Commission Act, or a 1914 law passed by Congress that shields FTC members from being removed by a president except in circumstances of ‘inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.’

A federal judge sided with Slaughter’s lawyers in July, agreeing that her firing unlawfully exceeded Trump’s executive branch powers and ordered her reinstated. The Supreme Court in September stayed that decision temporarily, allowing Trump’s firing to remain in effect pending their review.

The Supreme Court’s willingness to review the case is a sign that justices might be ready to do away completely with Humphrey’s protections, which have already been weakened significantly over the last 20 years. Allowing Humphey’s to be watered down further, or overturned completely, could allow sitting presidents to wield more authority in ordering the at-will firing of members of other federal regulatory agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, among others, and replacing them with persons of their choosing.

The six conservative justices on the high court signaled as much when they agreed to review the case earlier this year. (Justices split along ideological lines in agreeing to take up the case, with Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.)

.

They asked both parties to come prepared to address two key questions in oral arguments: First, whether the removal protections for FTC members ‘violates the separation of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey’s Executor, should be overruled,’ and whether a federal court may prevent a person’s removal from public office, ‘either through relief at equity or at law.’

U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer has asked the high court to overrule Humphrey’s. He argued in a filing that the FTC authorities of today vastly exceed the authorities granted to the commission in 1935. ‘The notion that some agencies that exercise executive power can be sequestered from presidential control seriously offends the Constitution’s structure and the liberties that the separation of powers protects,’ he said.

A decision is expected to be handed down by the end of June.

The case, Trump v. Slaughter, is one of four cases the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has agreed to review this term that centers on key separation of powers issues, and questions involving the so-called unitary executive theory. 

Critics have cited concerns that the court’s decision to take up the cases could eliminate lasting bulwarks in place to protect against the whims of a sitting president, regardless of political party.

It also comes as justices for the Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority have grappled with a flurry of similar lawsuits filed this year by other Trump-fired Democratic board members, including Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).

The arguments in Trump v. Slaughter will be closely watched and are expected to inform how the court will consider a similar case in January, centered on Trump’s attempted ouster of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

Since taking office, Trump has signed hundreds of executive orders and ordered sweeping personnel actions that have restructured federal agencies and led to mass layoffs across federal agencies, including leaders that were believed to be insulated from the whims of a sitting president.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / December 8, 2025 / Electric Royalties Ltd. (TSXV:ELEC,OTC:ELECF)(OTCQB:ELECF) (‘Electric Royalties’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update on key royalties in its portfolio, adding to the December 2, 2025 announcement of royalty revenues and other milestones relating to the Company’s copper assets.

Electric Royalties CEO Brendan Yurik commented: ‘Across our portfolio, the latest project updates reinforce our clear trajectory toward value creation and de-risking. We are particularly encouraged that the past-producing Graphmada Graphite Mine is now under active review for expanded production – with a Stage-2 scoping study underway – positioning Graphmada as a premier graphite supply-chain asset as Western economies increasingly prioritize non-China sources for battery-anode and advanced industrial demand.

‘We are also pleased to highlight the battery-performance breakthrough by Manganese X, where Phase 2 results using material from the Battery Hill Manganese Project delivered 70% capacity retention after 4,600 cycles – a meaningful validation of the commercial potential of Battery Hill’s high-purity manganese material. With the benefit of financial backing from leading mining investor Eric Sprott, Manganese X now moves into Phase 3 testing while also working towards completion of the Battery Hill pre-feasibility study.

‘At the same time, the operators of our lithium and iron-vanadium royalties continue to advance toward major development milestones. Both the Seymour Lake Lithium Project and the Mont Sorcier Iron and Vanadium Project are now on track to deliver feasibility studies in Q2 2026, supported by strengthened funding pathways, infrastructure commitments, and ongoing resource-growth work.

‘We also welcomed positive momentum at the Kenbridge Nickel Project, including the commencement of drilling.

‘Taken together, these updates highlight the growing strength, diversification, and maturity of our asset base. With multiple catalysts ahead, including multiple feasibility studies and continued technical advancements across the portfolio, we believe we are well-positioned to benefit from rising demand across the critical-minerals space and to deliver sustained, long-term value for shareholders.’

Highlights since the Company’s previous updates (see Electric Royalties’ news releases dated December 2, 2025 and September 4, 2025) include:

    Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.

    Toronto, Ontario TheNewswire – December 8, 2025 Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( ‘Noble’ or the ‘Company’ ) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB.PK:NLPXF) announces adoption of Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement and engagement of Investor Relations Consultant.

    Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement

    The Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement (the ‘ Plan ‘) was adopted to help ensure to the extent possible, the fair treatment of shareholders in the event of any take-over bid, other acquisition of control, and/or ‘creeping’ take-over bid for the Company without payment to all shareholders of an adequate control premium. A creeping takeover bid occurs where acquisition of a significant interest in the Company takes place through a number of share purchases over time. When faced with a takeover bid, the Plan also provides Noble’s Board of Directors (the ‘ Board ‘) with time to pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Under the Plan, rights (the ‘ Rights ‘) have been issued to holders of Noble common shares at a rate of one Right for each common share.  The effect of those Rights is to ensure that if a takeover bid is underway for Noble or another party has acquired control (or 20% or more) of Noble’s shares, the Board and/or shareholders of Noble will be provided time to consider the bid and evaluate alternatives.  The Plan is very similar to rights plans adopted by other Canadian issuers, and it was not adopted in response to any specific proposal or intention to acquire control of the Company.

    The Plan is effective immediately for an initial term of three years but is subject to ratification by shareholders of the Company at the annual general and special meeting being scheduled for February 2026 or such other date to be approved by the Board (the ‘ AGM ‘).  The TSX Venture Exchange (the ‘ TSXV ‘) has conditionally approved the Plan subject to Noble obtaining shareholder approval and satisfying certain other conditions.

    The Plan is contained in an agreement entered into with TSX Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, and it will be attached to the management information circular (the ‘ Circular ‘) to be prepared for the AGM.  If the Plan is not approved by shareholders at the AGM and is not otherwise approved by shareholders of Noble by June 6, 2026, the Plan and all Rights issued thereunder will then terminate.  Assuming that Noble’s shareholders will approve the Plan at the AGM, the adoption of the Plan will remain subject to final acceptance by TSXV.

    Investor Relations Consultant

    Noble announces that it has retained the services of GRA Enterprises LLC DBA National Inflation Association (‘ NIA ‘) to provide investor relations services to the Company (the ‘ Services ‘) for an initial term of six (6) months, which term may be renewed by Noble for an additional term of three, six or twelve months. The aggregate consideration for the Services provided during the initial term is USD$50,000 payable in three tranches. The Services include communications of Noble’s activities through NIA’s Inflation.us social media, and contacts with the financial community, shareholders, investors and other stakeholders for the purpose of increasing awareness of the Company and its activities. NIA started to reach out to stakeholders of the Company on December 3, 2025.

    NIA and its affiliates currently hold no shares of the Company, however NIA may from time to time acquire or dispose of securities of the Company through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant. NIA is at arm’s length to Noble and has no other relationship with the Company, except pursuant to the Services agreement. The retention of NIA to provide the Services is subject to regulatory approval by TSXV.

    Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG,OTC:RMIOF) (OTCID: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) (‘Romios Gold’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company will be seeking shareholder approval for a proposed name change to ‘Oreterra Metals Corp.’ (the ‘Name Change’) and a consolidation of the Company’s outstanding common shares (the ‘Shares’) on the basis of up to a maximum of ten (10) pre-consolidation Shares for one (1) post-consolidation share (the ‘Consolidation’) at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Both the Name Change and the Consolidation will be put to a shareholder vote at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General and Special Meeting (‘AGSM’) scheduled for January 16, 2026, voting materials for which will be available shortly.

    Rationale for proposed name change and share consolidation

    Management is seeking approval for both steps in keeping with its recent efforts, exhibited in the period since June, to re-establish the Company’s market appeal and position it to drill the Trek South, BC copper-gold porphyry prospect in the 2026 field season, which in the view of management offers high potential for building value for shareholders. Planning toward a maiden Trek South drill program is well advanced and an independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report (‘NI 43-101’) is being finalized, including a recommended budget for what is expected to be a multi-phased program. Management has past experience in the same general area of BC with successful exploration drilling programs on major porphyry copper-gold discoveries, and the financial resources required are considerable.

    Subject to a shareholder vote at the AGSM in favour of the proposed Name Change and the Consolidation, and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, management proposes to shortly thereafter undertake a significant financing on terms to be defined, to secure the capital required to execute on the program recommended in the NI 43-101. North American investors generally find it undesirable to invest in early-stage, pre-discovery junior exploration companies that have greatly inflated capital structures. It is therefore management’s view, based upon experience and the opinion of market professionals, that the Consolidation will be essential to the success of the proposed financing effort, noting that it will not change the value of individual shareholder positions in the Company, nor their proportional ownership thereof, but rather provide a basis, with the subsequent injection of new capital, for increasing the value of those individual holdings.

    Proposed consolidation

    Prior to giving effect to the proposed Consolidation, which will also affect all outstanding options and warrants of the Company, the Company currently has 328,059,969 Shares issued and outstanding. Assuming a Consolidation on the basis of ten (10) pre-Consolidation Shares for one (1) post-Consolidation Share, the Company will have approximately 32,805,996 post-Consolidation Shares issued and outstanding. No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon the Consolidation. In the event a holder of Common Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Common Share in connection with the Consolidation, the number of Common Shares to be received by such shareholder will be rounded down to the next whole number and no cash consideration will be paid in respect of fractional shares. Shareholders’ proportional ownership in the Company will remain unchanged following the Consolidation.

    The Name Change and Consolidation are subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and approval by at least two thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Shares present in person or by represented proxy at the AGSM. Shareholders will be advised of the new stock symbol for the Company when approved. It is anticipated that the Consolidation will take effect some weeks following the January 16, 2026, AGSM. 

    A letter of transmittal will be mailed to registered shareholders providing instructions with respect to surrendering share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Shares in exchange for post-Consolidation Shares issued as a result of the proposed Consolidation. All registered shareholders who submit a duly completed letter of transmittal along with their respective share certificate(s) representing the pre-Consolidation Shares to the Company’s transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, will receive a certificate representing the post-Consolidation Shares. Until surrendered, each certificate representing pre-Consolidation Shares will be deemed to represent the number of post-Consolidation Shares the holder would be entitled to receive as a result of the Consolidation. Shareholders who hold their Shares in brokerage accounts or in book-entry form are not required to take any action. Outstanding securities convertible or exercisable into Common Shares will also be adjusted by the Consolidation ratio, and the exercise price of such securities will be adjusted accordingly.

    About Romios Gold Resources Inc.

    Romios Gold Resources Inc. is a TSXV-listed mineral exploration company focused primarily on gold, copper and silver. The Company has crafted an ambitious business plan to advance Romios, primarily by refocusing its efforts on achieving discoveries through the drill bit. The Company holds several wholly-owned porphyry copper-gold prospects in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, the most significant of which is the Trek South prospect, upon which a range of geosciences applied to it in the period since 2022 including mapping, sampling, magnetic, IP and MT geophysical surveys, have delivered high-order, complementary results that all vector to the same conclusion: that the target area offers high discovery potential. A drill permit is in place and an updated NI 43-101 with plan and budget is under preparation. Trek South is located adjacent to Teck-Newmont’s Galore Creek deposits, presently undergoing pre-feasibility studies, and is bisected by the road right-of-way thereto. First-ever drilling of Trek South is planned for the 2026 field season.

    Additional wholly-owned interests include two former producers in Nevada: the Kinkaid claims in the Walker Lane trend covering numerous shallow Au-Ag-Cu workings over what is believed to be one or more porphyry centres (source: J.Biczok, P.Geo, June 2025, Kinkaid Gold-Copper-Silver Project, www.romios.com), and the Scossa mine property in the Sleeper trend which is a former high-grade gold producer (source: J.Biczok, P.Geo, July 2025, Scossa Historic Gold Mine Property, www.romios.com). The Company also holds a 100% interest in the large-scale Lundmark-Akow Lake Au-Cu property adjacent to the northwest of the Musselwhite Mine, where drilling by the Company has produced highly encouraging, broad VMS-style Au-Cu intersections. Romios also retains an ongoing interest in several properties including a 2% NSR on McEwen Mining’s Hislop gold property in Ontario and a 2% NSR on Enduro Metals’ Newmont Lake Au-Cu-Ag property in BC.

    Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) (‘Anteros’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated October 9, 2025, the Company and Rift Minerals Inc. (‘Rift’) are moving ahead with a fully funded and fully permitted January 2026 deep drill program designed to evaluate a previously untested geophysical anomaly at the Seagull Critical Minerals Project (the ‘Project’), located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Rift, as Operator, will conduct the drilling on this exploration-stage property, which is being evaluated for platinum group elements (PGEs), nickel, copper, hydrogen, and helium.

    Anteros has raised a total of $824,530, consisting of $604,530 in flow-through funds and $220,000 in hard-dollar funds, pursuant to the press releases for Tranche 1 (November 3, 2025) and Tranche 2 (November 21, 2025). The Company was granted an option (the ‘Option’) to acquire up to a 49% undivided interest in the Seagull Project.

    To exercise the Option, Anteros has agreed to:

    • Underwrite the Phase 1 cost of a planned 1,350-metre drillhole (the ‘Drilling’) to earn a contingent 20% interest in the Project (‘Phase 1’). Rift has presented a drill plan and a budget of $600,000 to fully execute the Phase 1 deep drillhole;
    • Make a one-time upfront $50,000 cash payment to Rift prior to the commencement of drilling; and
    • Pending Phase 1 results, consider completing a second phase of exploration based on recommendations arising from Phase 1.

    The planned deep drillhole is designed to test a low-velocity geophysical anomaly identified by Rift’s Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey, located beneath the Seagull mafic-ultramafic intrusion. This anomaly represents a subsurface zone of interest that has not previously been drill tested.

    The drill program will also incorporate specialized downhole gas sampling, as historical drill records from 2001 documented the presence of gas encountered in a prior borehole on the intrusion. Gas testing and sample acquisition will be completed by LTD Production Services Ltd., under the direction of Edelgas Group: Rare Gas Consultants. Gas sampling is investigatory in nature and does not imply the presence of commercial gas resources.

    ABOUT THE SEAGULL PROJECT

    The Seagull Project is located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and covers the interpreted mafic-ultramafic Seagull Intrusion within the Nipigon Basin. Historical exploration between 1998 and 2012 included airborne geophysical surveys and approximately 20,000 metres of diamond drilling, which reported disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralization containing nickel, copper, and platinum-group elements along parts of the intrusion’s basal contact. These results are historical in nature and have not been independently verified by Anteros.

    In 2024, Rift completed an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey to refine the internal geometry of the intrusion. The survey outlined contrasting velocity domains interpreted to reflect lithological and alteration variations. These interpretations have not been tested by drilling and remain unverified by Anteros. This news release represents the first public disclosure of the 2024 ANT survey results and is provided in accordance with NI 43-101 Section 3.5. The upcoming Phase 1 drillhole will provide the first subsurface evaluation of the deeper ANT anomaly.

     Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV,OTC:ALVOF) (OTCQX: ALVOF) announces November sales volumes of 2,851 boepd (based on field estimates). In Brazil, November sales averaged 2,702 boepd, including natural gas sales of 15.1 MMcfpd, associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 163 bopd and oil sales of 19 bopd. Natural gas deliveries continued at rates above our firm contracted volumes for much of the month of November, partially offset by the impact of planned facility shutdowns over a two-day period. In Canada, November sales averaged 149 bopd.

    BOE Disclosure

    The term barrels of oil equivalent (‘boe’) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

    Contracted Firm Volumes

    The 2025 contracted daily firm volumes of 400 e3m3/d (before any provisions for take or pay allowances) represents volumes based on contract referenced natural gas heating value. Alvopetro’s reported natural gas sales volumes are prior to any adjustments for heating value of Alvopetro’s natural gas, which is approximately 7.8% higher than the contract reference heating value. Therefore, to satisfy the contractual firm deliveries Alvopetro would be required to deliver approximately 371 e3m3/d (13.1MMcfpd).

    Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Language

    This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words ‘will’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘may’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘forecast’, ‘anticipate’, ‘should’ and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information.

A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events.

    House Republicans are expected to reveal a roadmap sometime this month that they say will lower sky-high healthcare costs.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., have both said they are speaking to various GOP factions to build consensus on what that plan should look like.

    In the meantime, Fox News Digital spoke with several GOP lawmakers about what they believe should be in such a package and found several commonalities on what they expect.

    ‘Health savings accounts (HSAs) need to be expanded to as many individual healthcare recipients or premium payers in our country. Like right now, it’s the people that can access a health savings account, usually high-deductible, catastrophic coverage, those types of plans,’ said House GOP Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore, R-Utah. ‘They’re really well-used, but they need to be extended so basically all Americans on some type of health insurance policy can use health savings accounts.’

    HSAs are accounts that allow people to set aside money pre-tax to pay for certain health expenses, but they are currently only available to people with high-deductible health insurance plans.

    Expanding HSA use proved a common theme among House Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital about what they want to see in their party’s health plan.

    Another topic that came up frequently was reforming the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) system, an issue that’s gotten bipartisan support in the past.

    PBMs are third parties that act as intermediaries between pharmaceutical companies and those responsible for insurance coverage, often responsible for administrative tasks and negotiating drug prices.

    PBMs have also been the subject of bipartisan ire in Congress, with both Republicans and Democrats accusing them of being part of a broken system to inflate health costs.

    ‘I had my own pharmacies for over 32 years, and I can tell you, bringing prescription drug prices down is as simple as is addressing the middleman, the PBMs that are causing increases and causing prices to stay high for drugs,’ Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., said. ‘That is one of the quickest and the easiest ways to bring prescription drug prices down, by reeling them in.’

    Republican lawmakers also more broadly called for a competitive marketplace of health insurance plans.

    While few said they had any appetite for actually repealing and replacing the Obamacare system, most said they wanted Americans to have more options than just the federal program when choosing their own healthcare.

    ‘We see that Obamacare has now been around for almost 14 years, and it’s more expensive, and we have less choices than ever before. So Obamacare is not working, and I think that’s what we need to focus on,’ said Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind. ‘There’s plans already being put in place by the administration, by groups in the Republican Party, that want to focus on making sure healthcare is affordable, and it’s available and that people can make choices rather than being told who which doctor they have to go to.’

    Democrats have warned that healthcare costs are set to spike for millions of Americans if the subsidies are not extended. But House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., said costs are poised to rise either way if Congress does not act soon.

    ‘All Americans are getting a health insurance premium increase this coming year of 20 to 30%. Even if we did what they wanted us to do — and I’m not saying that we won’t, because the White House might have a plan to continue it, the Senate might have a plan. Mike Johnson might do something, but even if we do that, you realize that it’s only gonna cover about 4% of that 20 to 30% increase. It’s not solving the problem,’ Emmer said.

    Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., told Fox News Digital he wanted to see a healthcare package that focuses on doctors in rural areas, as well as reforms for hospital care.

    ‘I’ve got to make sure that what we do is right for that independent practicing physician, that small-town pharmacist. And so we have to make sure we’re taking care of rural America with what we do, as well as the hospitals that we would all go to if we had, you know, cancer treatment or something like that,’ he said.

    None of the conservatives who spoke with Fox News Digital expressed support for extending Obamacare tax credits that were enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic, but which are set to expire at the end of this year.

    It’s a push led by Democrats and some Republicans, however, who have introduced a range of options, from a one-year extension with certain reforms to House Democratic leaders’ push for a clean, three-year extension.

    But whatever lawmakers come up with will likely have to get 60 votes to advance in the Senate, meaning some support from the left will be needed.

    ‘There’s a lot of good bipartisan healthcare policy legislation that can pass imminently and very soon, unless Democrats play the game of, ‘Oh, I don’t want it to look like the Republicans are being productive on healthcare, so we’re gonna stymie this, even though I agree with the policy,’’ Moore said.

    For Social Security it has been a miserable year. 

    After President Donald Trump unleashed Elon Musk and DOGE on the Social Security Administration, the agency lost more staff in a shorter period of time than ever before in its 90-year history. Fortunately, public outcry and pushback from congressional Democrats saved Social Security from a 50% cut to staffing and the closure of scores of field offices as Trump and his administration had announced back in March. So, somehow, those dedicated workers remaining at the Social Security Administration have still managed to keep the agency running — without missing a single monthly benefit payment. 

    There are not many public or private insurers in the world who can claim to never have missed a monthly benefit payment in 90 years. 

    This is good news for 71 million Americans — many of whom depend on their earned benefit every month as a lifeline. But we are not out of the woods yet. The agency has been gutted. Enormous damage has been done to customer service and to the agency’s ability to process claims.

    Just as many are demanding that Trump’s deep cuts to healthcare be restored, so too must Trump’s deep cuts to Social Security be restored, as the two are inextricably linked. Sixty-four million Medicare recipients will see a reduction in their Social Security benefits in 2026 due to Trump’s Medicare price hikes that will cut into their Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), making life more expensive for seniors. This is the greatest erosion of the Social Security COLA in nearly a decade, and the first time that Medicare premiums exceeded $200 per month. 

    With the Social Security Administration’s staffing now reduced to a 60-year low and baby boomers swelling the number of active beneficiaries to an all-time high, the agency is struggling badly, and the American people are paying the price. Wait times to get to a person in a field office or to talk to a person on the 1-800 line have become longer and longer.  

    As the Trump administration claims that things have never been better, millions of Americans are having a very different experience. In fact, more people today now die waiting in line for their initial disability determination than at any time since President Dwight Eisenhower signed the disability portion of the act into law in 1956. Even just recently, Trump and DOGE risked 300 million Americans’ personal data from the Social Security Administration. They have robbed Americans of customer service and peace of mind.

    President Trump marks the 90th anniversary of Social Security

    Conditions have grown so bad – Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, has called for Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano’s resignation. It proves to be a telling illustration of the deep concern experts have for the damage done to the agency. 

    None of this had to happen. It was made to happen. As a candidate, Trump vowed all through the campaign that he would protect Social Security. Instead, he wrecked the program’s customer service, took a chainsaw to its functions and maligned its reputation with false claims of waste, fraud and abuse.

    In a time of great political division, Social Security remains the most strongly supported program in America. In fact, 80% of Americans are concerned whether Social Security will be available when they retire and want it to be strengthened, made better — not hacked to pieces, privatized or liquidated. 

    This is a democracy moment. Social Security should be a bipartisan issue. All lawmakers — Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike — need to come together to deliver on its promise of a secure retirement after a lifetime of hard work.
