Longest government shutdown in history nears likely end as House moves on funding bill

The end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history is finally in sight, with the House of Representatives set to vote on a federal funding bill later Wednesday evening.

House lawmakers are set to take a procedural vote in the 5 p.m. hour on whether to allow debate on the measure. If the legislation survives, a final vote is expected in the 7 p.m. hour.

The government has been shut down for 43 days as Democrats and Republicans hotly debated the merits of the GOP’s initial federal funding bill, a short-term extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025 spending levels through Nov. 21.

The vast majority of Democrats are still against the legislation, including House Democratic leadership, but GOP lawmakers across several ideologically diverse factions have signaled confidence in a nearly unified Republican vote.

House Freedom Caucus Policy Chairman Chip Roy, R-Texas, said he heard no dissent on the bill from his band of fiscal hawks.

‘I’m not going to speak for everybody, but I think there’s general support. So you know, I’m unaware of any opposition of significance,’ he told reporters Tuesday night.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., said, ‘Nothing’s ever easy around here. But, look, I didn’t notice any dissent … I think the votes will be there on our side.’

But with a razor-thin majority, House GOP leaders can only afford to lose two Republican votes at most to pass the bill without relying on any Democrats.

‘I’m very hopeful,’ House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital when asked if Republicans had the votes to pass the bill. ‘I think you’re seeing just a few Democrats come to their senses. It should be a lot more.’

Meanwhile, the shutdown’s effects on the country have grown more severe by the day.

Many of the thousands of air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who had to work without pay were forced to take second jobs, causing nationwide flight delays and cancellations amid staffing shortages at the country’s busiest airports. Millions of Americans who rely on federal benefits were also left in limbo as funding for critical government programs ran close to drying out.

At the heart of the issue was Democratic leaders’ refusal to back any funding bill that did not also extend COVID-19 pandemic-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year. Democrats argued it was their best hope of preventing healthcare price hikes for Americans across the U.S.

Republicans agreed to hold conversations on reforming what they saw as a broken healthcare system, but they refused to pair any partisan priority with federal funding.

The initial bill passed the House on Sept. 19 but stalled in the Senate for weeks, when Democrats sank the bill more than a dozen times.

However, after weeks of stalemate and the clock running down on their Nov. 21 bill, a new compromise emerged that got support from eight Senate Democrats to carry it across the finish line.

The new legislation would extend FY 2025 federal funding levels through Jan. 30, to give negotiators more time to strike a longer-term deal for FY 2026.

It would also give lawmakers some headway with that mission, advancing legislation to fund the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration; the Department of Veterans Affairs and military construction; and the legislative branch.

In a victory for Democrats, the deal would also reverse federal layoffs conducted by the Trump administration in October, with those workers getting paid for the time they were off.

A side deal struck in the Senate also guaranteed Senate Democrats a vote on legislation extending the enhanced Obamacare subsidies. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., however, has made no such promise in the House.

If passed on Wednesday night, the legislation heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for a signature.

When asked about the bill on Tuesday, a White House official told Fox News Digital, ‘President Trump has wanted the government reopened since the first day Democrats shut it down. The action in the Senate is a positive development, and we look forward to seeing it progress.’

Michelle Obama reveals ‘infuriating’ moment on Air Force One that still haunts her

Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed on a recent episode of her podcast that she was left infuriated by a moment on Air Force One in 2009 when she debated whether to wear Bermuda shorts while on vacation — which ultimately led to controversy. 

‘The fact that we had to spend time thinking about that kind of stuff in ways that my husband didn’t — it was really infuriating,’ Obama said during an episode on her podcast, ‘IMO With Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson,’ which she co-hosts with her brother. ‘Then an article, a negative article, still happened.’ 

The former first lady explained that in August 2009 she and the former president were set to depart Air Force One for a hike in the Grand Canyon while on their first vacation since the inauguration earlier that year. While she fretted over what attire would be appropriate for a first lady and not draw public criticism, Barack Obama did not need to put effort into thinking about his outfit, she recounted. 

‘It was 100 degrees,’ Michelle Obama remembered of the conversation. ‘Barack — I was like, ‘Well, what are you wearing?’ He was like, ‘Well, I’m gonna throw on some sneakers, I’m gonna take my jacket off and roll my sleeves up’ because that’s what men can do. White shirt, no collar, no tie. That was how he changed.’

Michelle Obama said she debated whether to wear hiking shorts or a dress before landing on wearing Bermuda shorts. 

‘I can’t wear hiking shorts there, and I can’t wear a dress to hike,’ she said. ‘That would be crazy. People would call me ‘disconnected’ and ‘un-American.’ I’m at the Grand Canyon in a tea-length dress with flats? I was like, ‘That’s not how people go to the Grand Canyon.”

‘I eventually opted for the thing that felt mostly me,’ Michelle Obama continued. ‘And it was the Bermuda shorts. Because if we’re going on a hike, this is how a normal person would go on a hike.’

The former first lady did face backlash for the attire, as pundits at the time criticized that a first lady wearing shorts while departing Air Force One was too casual, with outlets running headlines such as, ‘Who Wears Short Shorts? Michelle Obama,’ ‘First lady’s shorts draw some long, hard looks,’ and ‘Michelle Obama: The Shorts Heard Round the World.’

Michelle Obama said in 2013 that she would not wear shorts again on Air Force One after the 2009 outfit caused ‘a huge stink.’ She explained at the time that she made the more relaxed choice because ‘we’re on vacation.’

First lady Melania Trump also has faced backlash over her wardrobe attire, including in 2017 when she wore a baseball cap and jeans to visit Texas after Hurricane Harvey that was viewed by some critics as too casual, and again in 2018 when she wore a green jacket while on a trip to visit the border that read, ‘I really don’t care. Do u?’ 

Melania Trump later told the media she wore the jacket as a message to the liberal media and other critics: ‘I want to show them that I don’t care,’ she told ABC News in 2018. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Michelle Obama’s office Tuesday for additional comment on the matter but did not immediately receive a reply.

Scalise reveals post-shutdown GOP battle plan as House readies for intense new schedule

House GOP leaders are looking to kick off next week in high gear to make up for the six weeks they spent out of session during the government shutdown.

With the end of Congress’ 42-day fiscal standoff in sight, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital that House lawmakers will be faced with an accelerated schedule to accomplish the GOP’s priorities for this term.

‘I wanted to rework the schedule to create more time to make up for what happened during the shutdown, and the fact that there were a lot of bills that stacked up that we planned to bring to the floor in October that weren’t able to go,’ he said in an interview on Tuesday night.

Priorities for next week include legislation to help reduce federal restrictions on liquefied natural gas (LNG), and a bill aimed at expanding refining capacity in a bid to reduce soaring energy costs.

Measures aimed at D.C. are also expected to see votes, including a bill that D.C.’s pretrial release and detention processes require mandatory pretrial detention for defendants charged with violent crimes. 

Another bill expected to get a vote next week would undo local ordinances that Republicans say place burdensome barriers on the Metropolitan Police Department.

A largely symbolic measure to denounce socialism in the U.S. is also on next week’s schedule.

Lawmakers will be expected to work long into the night in a departure from their traditional day-to-day in D.C. Votes will be scheduled in the evenings when lawmakers have normally departed Capitol Hill for other events.

Scalise also noted the House would have a five-day legislative week from Monday through Friday, rather than the more traditional four days in D.C.

More time will also be allotted during the day for House committees to conduct hearings and advance their legislation, something that has not been done on Capitol Hill since Sept. 19.

‘We’re going to do that for the next few weeks until we catch up on the time that we missed when everybody was back in their districts,’ Scalise said.

The latter point is critical considering Congress will be reckoning with several key priorities in the coming months.

The bill to end the government shutdown, expected to pass the House on Wednesday, kicks the majority of fiscal year (FY) 2026 federal spending to a Jan. 30 deadline. It would also authorize funding for three of Congress’ 12 annual spending bills for FY 2026.

However, it will be an uphill battle for both the Senate and House appropriations committees to strike their remaining spending deals by then.

‘There are nine remaining bills, and we’d like to get all of those done in the next few weeks. And so, [House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla.] and his appropriators will be working overtime as well,’ Scalise said.

Congress also still has to find a bipartisan compromise on the federal government’s annual defense policy bill, called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

‘There have been a lot of negotiations ongoing. I think we’re getting close on the NDAA,’ Scalise said.

Scalise said Republicans would also be busy at work on a new Farm Bill, legislation that sets agricultural priorities as well as federal food policies for urban, suburban and rural areas across the country, as well as a highway bill — legislation that authorizes policy for surface infrastructure like roads, bridges and rail lines nationwide.

‘A lot of those bills have been very active in the committee process. They just haven’t gotten a lot of attention nationally during the shutdown. But the committees have been working, especially the chairman, to try to get those bills ready to move,’ he said.

‘And so we will have a lot of big ticket items that are important to our America First agenda ready to go. And that’s why we’re going to just add more floor time to be able to get all of it done by the end of this year.’

But in order to get all those ‘big-ticket items’ done, the House will first need to pass the Senate’s bipartisan bill to end the government shutdown.

Asked if his chamber had the votes to do so, Scalise said, ‘I’m very hopeful we will.’

‘I’m very confident our members are really eager to get back to a full House schedule. Many of them have been working overtime in their districts to mop up the mess Democrats created during the shutdown,’ he said.

Silver Dollar Discovers New Mineralized Zone at the Nora Silver-Gold Project and Receives Drill Permit

The new North Canyon Zone is 1,500m north, and along strike from the historic Candy mine, and 950m north of previously reported surface sampling that returned up to 29.61 g/t gold, 2,215 g/t silver and 3.34% copper

Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV,OTC:SLVDF) (OTCQX: SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) (‘Silver Dollar’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report the latest surface sample assay results and receipt of a drill permit for its 100%-owned Nora property (the ‘Property’) in the state of Durango, Mexico.

Channel sampling of the Candy Vein projection returned assays of 162 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 12.48m within an oxidation zone over 100m wide. Mineralization appears to be widely disseminated, with strong iron oxidation and manganese pervasive in the zone and locally concentrated along fractures of multiple orientations. Trace concentrations of galena have been identified within the oxide zone. Outcrop is only partially exposed along an old road cut, and in small pits. Three areas were contiguously channel sampled as if they were trenches, with average assays as follows.

Table 2: North Canyon Assay Table.

Procedure, quality assurance/quality control and data verification:

All rock samples were collected, described, photographed, and bagged on-site. The samples were delivered by Silver Dollar staff to ActLabs in Zacatecas, Mexico for analysis. ActLabs is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Soil samples were screened to -80 mesh at the lab, prior to analysis. Gold is analyzed by a 30g Fire Assay with AA (atomic absorption spectroscopy) finish, then gravimetric finish if greater than 10ppm Gold. Silver and 34 other elements were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission spectroscopy) finish. Silver, lead, zinc, and copper over limits were re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES (Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company’s quality assurance and quality control protocol.

‘We are encouraged by the discovery of the most widespread mineralization found to date on the Nora Property,’ said Greg Lytle, President of Silver Dollar. ‘We have mobilized a crew to begin follow-up trenching, sampling and detailed mapping of the North Canyon Zone. The objective is to expand on and gain a better understanding of this new zone of disseminated mineralization.’

The drill permit Silver Dollar received is valid for three years. It allows for the repair of access roads and the building of up to 18 drill pads on the Property. The Company expects to provide a detailed drilling plan when priority targets have been identified and fully delineated.

About the Nora Property:

Silver Dollar acquired a 100% interest in the Nora Ag-Au property (the ‘Property’) from Canasil Resources, subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty (See news release of February 8, 2024).

Located in the Eastern Sierra Madre sub-province in the transition to the high plateau of Mexico, the Property lies centrally within the ‘Silver Trend’ that runs from the northwest to the southeast through Durango State (See location map). Significant deposits in the region include Endeavour Silver’s Guanaceví mine and Fresnillo’s San Julián mine on-trend to the northwest, with Endeavour Silver’s Pitarrilla project approximately 50 kilometers (km) to the east. Pitarrilla is one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in the world and was discovered by Perry Durning and Frank (Bud) Hillemeyer, Silver Dollar’s technical advisors.

The Property is located approximately 200 km north-northwest of the city of Durango, with excellent year-round access via Federal highway, paved road, and local dirt roads. Local infrastructure is available in the towns of Tepehuanes and Santa Maria del Oro and the city of Santiago Papasquiaro, all within 50km of the Property.

Terra Clean Closes the Acquisition of the Past Producing Uranium Claims in San Rafael Swell, Utah, United States

Terra Clean Energy CORP. (‘ Terra ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE: TCEC,OTC:TCEFF, OTCQB: TCEFF FSE: C 9O0) is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated September 24, 2025, the Company has issued a total of 750,000 common shares to the current property owners of mining assets located in Emery County, Utah.  The initial share issuances are in connection with agreements to earn interests in each of the Wheel Anne Claims and the Green Vein Mesa Claims (complete details of the earn-in requirements can be found in the September 24, 2025 press release).

In preparation for a drilling program, a site visit and sampling program will be conducted within the next two weeks. Samples will be collected along the mineralized contact between the Triassic aged Moenkopi and overlying Chinle formations with priority given to the vicinity of historical sample locations and mine workings. Sampling will consist of both radiometric assays using a handheld spectrometer and select rock samples for geochemical assay analysis. Historical mine workings will be accurately located and reconciled with historical maps and records of mine workings so an effective drill program can be planned for early 2026. It is anticipated that this preparatory program will take  up to a week to complete.

‘Based on the information on hand from the old mines, we are very confident that there is more uranium to be recovered from the Green Vein Mesa and Wheel Anne claim groups,’ commented Trevor Perkins, VP of Exploration for Terra. ‘A focused drill program will allow us to determine exactly how much uranium is present’ continued Mr. Perkins.

‘With the completion of the recent financing, the Company has the funding for its initial work program including drilling which I believe will unlock significant value for shareholders’ said Greg Cameron, CEO of Terra.

All securities issued in connection with these agreements would be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.

About Terra Clean Energy Corp.

The Company is currently developing the South Falcon East uranium project within the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit, located in the Athabasca Basin region, Saskatchewan, Canada as well as developing past producing Uranium mines in the San Rafael Swell Emery County, Utah, United States

Crypto Market Update: Coinbase to Move to Texas, JPMorgan Deploys Dollar Deposit Token

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (November 12) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$104,137 a 0.2 percent increase in 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day so far was US$105,257, while its lowest was US$102,461.

Bitcoin price performance, November 12, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitcoin is struggling to regain momentum after a turbulent October with multiple failed recovery attempts. The leading cryptocurrency has been hovering near key support levels, with traders closely watching whether it can break above the US$108,000 barrier to signal a meaningful recovery or resume its descent below US$100,000

While Bitcoin has bounced from the 75th percentile cost and is consolidating around $106,200, resistance lies at the 85th percentile cost basis near $108,500, which has historically capped recovery attempts during similar phases.

Market analysts remain wary. Morgan Stanley strategists warn that Bitcoin may be entering the “fall season” of its four-year cycle, typically a period to harvest gains before a potential downturn. The bank’s wealth management team advised investors to take profits while prices remain elevated, noting that stalled liquidity inflows and a drop below the 365-day moving average point to weakening momentum.

Trader Ted Pillows also highlighted the challenges for bulls, noting that Bitcoin recently lost the US$105,000–US$106,000 support zone despite ETFs buying US$530 million in BTC.

‘If bulls really want to bring BTC momentum, they need to reclaim the $108,000 level,’ Pillows posted on X. ‘If this doesn’t happen, BTC will drop below $100,000 again.’

Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,469, a 0.2 percent decrease in the last 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was US$3,565.20, while its lowest was US$3,408.35.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$157.90, down by 2.2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was US$163.65, while its lowest was US$153.94.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.41, down by 0.4 percent over the last 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was US$2.47, while its lowest was US$2.37.

Crypto derivatives and market indicators

Over the past four hours, Bitcoin has seen liquidations totaling US$14.81 million, mostly from short positions, suggesting a short-covering rally and improving near-term sentiment. Futures open interest rose 0.67 percent to US$68.66 billion, reflecting a modest increase in market participation following earlier selling pressure.

The funding rate is neutral at 0.007, signaling balanced sentiment between longs and shorts, while implied volatility is at 39.9 percent, indicating ongoing uncertainty.

Max pain for options expiry sits at US$115,000.

Meanwhile, Ether has seen US$13.66 million in options liquidations, largely from short positions, supporting the recent upward movement. Ether futures open interest increased 3.6 percent to US$40.76 billion, and its funding rate is slightly positive at 0.008, reinforcing a mild bullish bias.

Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.3 percent.

Today’s crypto news to know

Coinbase relocates incorporation from Delaware to Texas

Coinbase announced that the company is moving its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas.

The exchange cited “unpredictable outcomes” in the Delaware Chancery Court as a key reason for the shift, noting ongoing litigation related to its 2021 public listing. Texas law allows corporations to limit shareholder lawsuits against executives, offering greater legal predictability.

‘For decades, Delaware was known for predictable court outcomes, respect for the judgment of corporate boards and speedy resolutions,’ Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. ‘It’s a shame that it has come to this, but Delaware has left us with little choice.’

The company joins other notable departures from Delaware, including, SpaceX, Andreessen Horowitz, Dropbox, and TripAdvisor. Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal described the move as a practical necessity given the current legal landscape in Delaware.

Visa launches pilot to pay gig workers in stablecoins

Visa has introduced a pilot program enabling marketplaces to pay gig workers, freelancers, and creators directly in dollar-backed stablecoins like USDC.

The program uses Visa Direct to allow near-instant payouts, typically within 30 minutes, enhancing liquidity and accessibility for workers.

Visa has been expanding its crypto capabilities through partnerships with Bridge, Paxos, and PayPal’s PYUSD, integrating stablecoins into cards and payment rails.

The company faces competition from Mastercard, which is also deploying stablecoin solutions in collaboration with Ripple, Kraken, and other partners.

JPMorgan launches dollar deposit token

JPMorgan Chase has rolled out a dollar-denominated deposit token, JPMD, on Coinbase’s Base Ethereum layer-2 network, enabling instant, 24/7 transactions for institutional clients.

Unlike privately issued stablecoins, JPMD represents actual deposits held within the bank, effectively tokenizing commercial bank money for blockchain use. The launch follows months of trials with Mastercard, Coinbase, and liquidity provider B2C2, allowing JPMorgan to test settlement efficiency and interoperability.

The bank plans to expand JPMD to retail clients and introduce a euro version, JPME, as well as integrate additional blockchains pending regulatory approval.

Senate ends 41-day government shutdown stalemate, sends bipartisan deal to House

The shutdown stalemate that has dragged on in the Senate officially ended late Monday night, and it places Congress on a path to reopen the government later this week.

Senators advanced a bipartisan funding package to end the government shutdown after a group of Senate Democrats broke from their colleagues and joined Republicans in their bid to reopen the government.

Those same eight Senate Democratic caucus members stuck with Republicans and provided the crucial votes needed to send the package to the House.

The votes went deep into Monday night on the shutdown’s 41st day and resulted in an updated continuing resolution (CR) being combined with a trio of spending bills in a minibus package that is now headed to the House.

Whether the Senate would get to this point was in the air for much of last week and even earlier in the day. On Monday, lawmakers were riding high after smashing through the package’s first procedural test, but concerns of objections and other procedural maneuvers threatened to derail the process.

‘I think everybody’s pretty united [behind] this bill,’ Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, said. ‘We want to reopen the government.’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus demanded throughout the entirety of the shutdown that they would only vote to reopen the government if they received an ironclad deal on expiring Obamacare subsidies.

But that deal, or at least the one that Democrats wanted, never materialized. Instead, eight Senate Democrats took the offer that Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has made since the beginning: A guarantee to vote on legislation that would deal with the subsidies.

Thune reiterated his promise and noted that a vote would come, ‘No later than the second week of December.’ The subsidies are set to expire by the end of the year.

‘We have senators, both Democrat and Republican, who are eager to get to work to address that crisis in a bipartisan way,’ he said. ‘These senators are not interested in political games, they’re interested in finding real ways to address healthcare costs for American families. We also have a president who is willing to sit down and get to work on this issue.’

Senate Democrats did not leave completely empty-handed, however.

Included in the revamped CR, which would reopen the government until Jan. 30, was a reversal of the Trump administration’s firing of furloughed federal workers, a deal to ensure that furloughed workers would get back pay and future protections for federal workers during shutdowns.

‘This was the only deal on the table,’ Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., one of the eight that crossed the aisle to support the package, said. ‘It was our best chance to reopen the government and immediately begin negotiations to extend the [Obamacare] tax credits that tens of millions of Americans rely on to keep costs down.’

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., another of the eight Senate Democrats to break with Schumer, said that it was clear that Republicans weren’t going to budge on their position that healthcare would be dealt with after the government reopened. 

But it wasn’t the guarantee of a vote on the expiring subsidies that got him to splinter, it was promises that there would be protections for federal employees. 

‘If you wait another week, they’re going to get hurt more, another month or even more,’ Kaine said. ‘So what got me over the line was the pledge that they were able to give the federal employees.’ 

On the House side, it appears GOP leaders are eager to move quickly on ending the prolonged shutdown.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., earlier Monday told Fox News Digital that he would bring the House back into session ‘immediately’ upon Senate passage of the legislation.

He later told House Republicans on a lawmaker-only call that he anticipated a vote in their chamber midweek at the earliest, Fox News Digital was told.

‘We’re going to plan on voting, on being here, at least by Wednesday,’ Johnson said. ‘It is possible that things could shift a little bit later in the week, but right now we think we’re on track for a vote on Wednesday. So we need you here.’

Johnson signaled the House would not move to fast-track the legislation via suspension of the rules however, which would bypass procedural hurdles in exchange for raising the passage threshold to two-thirds of the chamber.

It’s not a surprising move given House Democratic leaders’ opposition to the bill.

He said, however, that the House Rules Committee should be ready to move by Tuesday at the earliest.

Top House committee chairman reveals he won’t seek re-election in 2026

House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, will not seek re-election in 2026.

The senior Republican lawmaker will have finished serving a decade in Congress when he leaves at the end of next year.

‘I have a firm conviction, much like our founders did, that public service is a lifetime commitment, but public office is and should be a temporary stint in stewardship, not a career,’ Arrington said.

And the conservative Texan told Fox News Digital he felt he was leaving on a high note, having played a key role in crafting President Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill.

‘It was a very unique, generational impact opportunity, to be almost ten years into this and to have the budget chairmanship, and to lead the charge to successfully pass that and to help this president fulfill his mandate from the people,’ Arrington said. ‘It just seems like a good and right place to leave it.’

He cited multiple legislative items across his tenure as Budget Committee chair when asked what he took pride in, but added, ‘It’s more of changing the narrative and the culture in Congress and in my party that I’m most proud of.’

‘I’m from a rural district and I can tell you, raising the profile among urban and suburban members as to the unique challenges of rural America and the unique contributions of rural America — like food security and energy independence and how much the nation depends on these plow boys and cowboys in rural areas — that’s another thing I’m proud of,’ he said.

Arrington said he had faith Republicans in Washington would pick up his mantle of fiscal hawkishness, or as he’s often called it, ‘reversing the curse’ of public debt.

‘The president’s committed to it, he talks about it all the time. He’s actually doing something about it with very difficult decisions, not politically popular decisions. This is all about political will,’ Arrington said. ‘Trump’s doing it. Mike Johnson is committed to it… And we have a growing number of fiscal hawks who are absolutely dogged on this issue.’

But he said he would continue to push for further fiscal reforms for his remaining year on Capitol Hill, including another budget reconciliation bill to follow up on the big, beautiful bill.

‘I don’t know where the Senate Republicans are. I don’t know where the president is and can’t speak for the White House. But the House is at the ready,’ Arrington said. ‘It’s been our most consequential tool to support the president and the strength of the country, and I don’t see any reason we wouldn’t utilize it to its fullest extent.’

The West Texas Republican said he had not given much thought to what he would do next but said he wanted to ‘remain in the fight,’ adding he would seek a ‘new leadership challenge’ that ‘allows me to make the biggest difference on as many people as I can.’

‘And then I would say…I am looking forward to quality time with my wife and kids and focusing on my leadership and service, not in the people’s house, but in my own house,’ Arrington said.

He said he hoped to ‘make a difference’ in the lives of his two young sons and daughter.

Arrington’s Lubbock-anchored district leans heavily Republican, meaning it’s unlikely to flip to blue in the 2026 midterms.

And come the end of his time next year, the conservative lawmaker said he would leave with no regrets.

‘I’m thankful that God called me and gave me the grace to succeed and to achieve the things that we’ve achieved,’ Arrington said.

‘His grace looks like the members of Congress that I’ve been doing battle with, my budget hawks who I’ve been in the trenches with, my constituents who I run into in the grocery store, who want to pray with me right there in the aisle while I’m checking out. The grace of God looks like my wife being both mom and dad about two-thirds of the time, because I’m in Washington doing battle for the country.’

He finished, ‘Did I make my share of mistakes? You bet. Did I learn along the way? You bet I did. But we left [the country] better than we found it, and it gives me great satisfaction.’
