Today, Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) issued the following statement after reports that Treasury delivered a memo to the White House in response to President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 executive action on OECD.
 
“I’m pleased to hear that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has followed through on the president’s directive to dismantle the disastrous OECD agreements that put America last and allow foreign countries to target U.S. job creators for their own treasuries’ gains,” said Rep. Estes. “The Trump administration made clear from day one that it will defend American interests in any global tax negotiations. Delivery of the Treasury report directly to the White House is a positive step in confirming that the U.S. is not going to cede our tax authority or our tax revenues. Ways and Means Chairman Smith has already introduced legislation to assist in this process, and I look forward to introducing a bill soon as well.”
 
Background:
For years Rep. Estes has been sounding the alarm and pushing back against the OECD’s global tax scheme. In January, Rep. Estes praised President Trump’s executive actions rejecting the OECD tax deal. On that same day, he also joined Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Missouri) in introducing the Defending American Jobs and Investment Act. Earlier that month he published an op-ed in London’s Telegraph outlining U.S. opposition to the OECD deal. He previously published an op-ed with MP Priti Patel on the OECD Pillar Two tax scheme, led a letter to Treasury demanding accountability and traveled with Ways and Means colleague to Germany and France to discuss Pillar Two with European leaders. He also introduced legislation to impose reciprocal taxes on countries that use the OECD deal to impose unfair taxes on U.S. business and raid the U.S. tax base. Earlier, he penned an op-ed in The Hill outlining the concerns with the OECD deal and published a Bloomberg op-ed with Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa) highlighting how the OECD tax deal would harm the United States.

Today, on World Down Syndrome Day, Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) is reintroducing the Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act. The act federally prohibits doctors from knowingly performing an abortion because of a baby’s prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis. 
 
“All children deserve the right to life, and aborting a child based solely on their genetic condition with an additional chromosome is discriminatory,” said Rep. Estes. “We must fight for the voiceless and most vulnerable members of our society. Individuals with Down syndrome are a blessing to our communities and families, often having an exceptional quality of life – working, being a part of a family, participating in sports, and more. Yet unborn children with a Down syndrome diagnosis are facing discrimination in the womb, and it is tragically wrong.”
 
The bill prohibits any person from coercing a woman to abort her unborn child because of a Down syndrome diagnosis. The legislation places the responsibility on the doctors who perform the abortions, not the women who receive the abortions. Violators can face a fine, imprisonment of up to five years, or both.
 
The Joint Economic Committee estimates that 60% to 90% of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted in the United States, a disproportionate amount when compared to the estimated 18% of all pregnancies that end in abortion.

Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) issued a statement following Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin’s announcement that the EPA would be reviewing the definition of Waters of the United States, or WOTUS.
 
“For too long, Kansas farmers and ranchers have dealt with ambiguity and uncertainty as a zealous EPA attempted to dictate every pond and puddle in our state,” said Rep. Estes. “Kansans are good stewards of the resources here in the Sunflower State and don’t need bureaucrats in the swamp regulating the small water reserves on their land. This WOTUS announcement will relieve the burdensome provisions from the last administration while providing clarity and flexibility for the farmers, ranchers, communities and stakeholders who are caretakers of our water resources.”
 
Background
In a press release, the EPA said, “The agencies will move quickly to ensure that a revised definition follows the law, reduces red-tape, cuts overall permitting costs, and lowers the cost of doing business in communities across the country while protecting the nation’s navigable waters from pollution. Given the U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency, it is time for EPA to finally address this issue once and for all in a way that provides American farmers, landowners, businesses, and states with clear and simplified direction.”

Last night, the House passed H.R. 1156 – the Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act – by a vote of 295-127, with 83 Democrats joining all Republicans voting in favor of the bill. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates $100 to $135 billion in stolen unemployment insurance (UI) benefits with only $5 billion recovered so far. The legislation extends the statute of limitations for combatting and prosecuting the theft of COVID-era unemployment benefits, giving more time for law enforcement to complete current cases, open new ones and recoup billions of taxpayer dollars. Before the House passed the bill, Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) spoke in support of the legislation.

“We know that during the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans benefited from unemployment insurance,” said Rep. Estes. “But fraudsters took advantage of an overwhelmed system, resulting in more than $100 billion in sham UI payments, including $466 million in UI fraud in my home state of Kansas. But the statute of limitations is fast approaching on March 27, and if Congress doesn’t act, these scammers are off the hook.”

Full Remarks
Thank you, Chairman Smith, for yielding, and I want to thank you for introducing this common sense legislation.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act.

But before I get into my planned remarks, I want to fact-check some of the colleagues on the other side of the aisle attacking President Trump, claiming that laid-off federal workers are being prevented from receiving unemployment. We’ve been in touch with the Department of Labor, and they’ve published documented guidelines describing filing and eligibility requirements that make it clear federal workers are eligible for unemployment.

The biggest risk to federal workers is not being able to claim their benefits at all because fraudsters got there first.

There have been multiple data breaches at agencies across the government, including the Office of Personnel Management, exposing the personal information of millions of federal workers.

Democrats should be supporting this bill to catch fraudsters that are still out there using stolen identities to file illegitimate claims.

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle have insisted that, despite their pushback on the Trump administration’s actions, they want to cut waste, fraud and abuse. Well today, they can prove it.

The bill we’re debating is really pretty simple. We know that during the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans benefited from unemployment insurance. But fraudsters took advantage of an overwhelmed system, resulting in more than $100 billion in sham UI payments, including $466 million in UI fraud in my home state of Kansas. But the statute of limitations is fast approaching on March 27, and if Congress doesn’t act, these scammers are off the hook.

Our legislation today extends the statute of limitations from 5 to 10 years. With nearly 1,700 open cases, this bill gives the Labor and Justice departments the tools they need to go after the criminals. This should be an easy yes for everyone in this chamber. And with that, Mr. Speaker, I yield back.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, last week, House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) spoke during a Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade hearing titled The World Wild Web: Examining Harms Online. Chairman Guthrie’s remarks focused on the committee’s plans to enact meaningful online safety measures to protect our children and highlighted the story of 16 year old Kentuckian, Elijah Heacock, who tragically took his own life after falling victim to an online extortion scheme. 

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce is scheduled to hold a full committee vote on the TAKE IT DOWN Act to address online safety issues, as part of a larger mark-up of bills, this Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. You can watch the hearing here.

Background:
If enacted, the TAKE IT DOWN Act would protect victims of real and deepfake ‘revenge pornography’ by criminalizing the publication, or threat of publishing, of these harmful images. Additionally, this legislation would require websites to quickly remove such content upon notice from the victims within 48 hours. 

You can view Chairman Guthrie’s full opening remarks from last week here or read highlights below. 

Chairman Guthrie honors Elijah Heacock and outlines the path ahead:
“I wish I could say that we had in place everything we needed to keep our children safe online, and we weren’t having this hearing today. This hearing is about children. It’s not about what’s going on here in Washington, DC; it’s about children. It’s about the families in this audience who’ve lost children. 

“It’s about a phone call I had yesterday with the mother of Eli Heacock, who took his own life about two weeks ago because of something that was going on online. He was being scammed… 

“Eli was a twin brother. Because he was a preemie, he had a feeding tube – 16 years old, he had a feeding tube. His mother said to me, ‘well at least he didn’t have to deal with this feeding tube anymore when the medical examiner took it out.’

“It was a kid that everybody loved, she said ‘I couldn’t believe people from five counties showed up to be at his funeral. I didn’t know he touched that many lives.’

“I mean, these are who we’re here to talk about. This is what this hearing is about, and I will say to my friend the Ranking Member, that we want this to be bipartisan. We want these bills to get a bipartisan vote…

“We’re going to have a bill this year – it’s going to pass as soon as we can get everything we need together to do it. We’re going to move on the TAKE IT DOWN Act, that’s why we’re having this hearing today to get this moving quickly.” 

Chairman Guthrie on his commitment to protect children online:
“We’re here for a very serious issue, and I really hope that – and I’ll take my good friend, the ranking member, up on her request – that we make this bipartisan, because it absolutely has to be bipartisan because it touches everybody, and everybody’s district. I know some of us on this [committee] have had the phone calls like I had yesterday, and I know it moves everybody. 

“So, what I want to say is that the TAKE IT DOWN Act, and KOSA, and all these other bills that protect our children for online safety are going to be a focus of this subcommittee, focus on this committee, and we’re getting them across the House floor.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), and Congressman Derek Schmidt (R-Kan.) to discuss the Senate taking up the House’s budget bill, bringing us one step closer to fulfilling President Trump’s agenda of helping American families who previously struggled under Biden’s disastrous economic policies. Leader Scalise also highlighted the importance of the Trump Administration’s work to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government and slammed Democrats for being more concerned with Elon Musk than the wasting of taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars.

On the Senate taking up budget reconciliation:“We have another full week working through our legislative agenda while we also are urging the Senate to continue moving on the budget reconciliation process. This week, they will be taking up the budget that we sent over weeks ago. Of course, when you look at where the budgets are, we went through a lot of work within our conference, meeting with members that represent all different factions within our conference to come up with the ultimate targets that were laid out in our budget to direct 11 different committees in the House to take action in reconciliation. The Senate needs to go through that same process. They’ve got similar dynamics in the Senate. They’ve got fiscal hawks, moderates, the same kind of issues that they’re going to have to resolve. But ultimately, it’s only when the House and Senate come together, are we going to be able to deliver that big package for President Trump to get this economy back on track for the American people. And ultimately, that’s who we’re fighting for.“We’re fighting for those hardworking families who have been struggling too long under the weight of the failed far-left policies of President Biden that are still lingering. The Democrats, when they were in charge, when they added trillions in spending, inflation, interest rates, all the things that are still crushing families. We are finally starting to address those things one at a time. And it’s taken time, but we’re two months in, and you can already see the progress, but there’s a lot more work to do. And so we’re not slowing down in our majority.”On House Republicans holding Democrat overreach accountable on the floor this week:“We’re not slowing down with the bills we’re bringing. Of course, this week, the No Rogue Judges Act. And I think it’s been laid out really well, the abuses that we’ve been seeing with some of these district court judges that just feel their role is to try to stop the duly elected President of the United States and Donald Trump because they disagree with his policies, as opposed to carrying out their duty to interpret the Constitution and the laws of this country. If they’re going to overstep their boundaries, should they be able to have, literally at a district level, an ability to change the law for the entire country, when ultimately the US Supreme Court is going to have to decide many of these big issues? But we’re taking that up.“We’re also, of course, going to continue to fight for the integrity of the vote to make sure that people that have come here illegally by the millions cannot register and vote, and that there will be actual safeguards and consequences for people who come to this country and vote illegally. We’re going to bring that bill again, give everybody an opportunity to state their position on that as well.”On rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government:“As you look at reconciliation, one of the things we’re looking to do is to finally start to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. Obviously, the mandatory spending side is what we look at heavily on the reconciliation side. But we’ve been working closely with the President’s DOGE Commission. For anybody who didn’t see it, I thought it was a very refreshing exercise to watch Elon Musk and all the other leaders of DOGE come together and do, in essence, a town hall meeting talking about the methods, the methodology, and the sophistication that is being used to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. When people fill out their taxes in just two weeks, there’s a lot of anger and frustration when people send their money into Washington, and they wonder when they hear these stories of the billions of dollars in wasteful programs.“These aren’t just anecdotes. As Elon and the DOGE commission members have been finding out, it’s rampant throughout every agency in federal government, whether it’s just inefficiencies, which is bad enough, or flat-out fraud, abuse, and corruption. They’re identifying billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in waste that can and should be rooted out because every dollar of waste here in Washington, number one is deficit spending that we would not be adding to our deficit, but it’s money that can be reinvested to make programs work the way they were intended by Congress and by the President – to see how serious they take these jobs. Many of these people are very accomplished in their own rights, people that have their own careers and are stepping aside and doing this work to make government work better for all the people of this country. I was very encouraged by it. I wish everybody in the country saw it because when you watch how the left is trying to demonize not the waste in government, I wish the left was as fervent at going after waste in government as they’re going after the people that are trying to root out the waste in government.“Elon’s giving up a lot to do this. As an individual, you see the personal attacks, death threats that are being made against him. That’s real, and it’s disgusting and disgraceful. But it also shows he must clearly be touching on something to the core. How much waste is out there that somebody would threaten his life because he’s trying to find out and root out that waste? We’re going to continue working with DOGE to root out the waste, lock as much of it into law as possible. If we can fit it in a budget reconciliation, we surely will. If it’s going to come later in a recisions package, then we’re going to do it as best as we can to achieve those real savings for the taxpayers of this country who are counting on us to deliver.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) appeared on Fox Business Network’s Kudlow to discuss the impact of House Republicans’ one big, beautiful budget bill. Leader Scalise emphasized the need to continue the Trump tax cuts and explained how this bill would unleash American energy, lower costs, and fuel economic growth. Leader Scalise also highlighted the Ways and Means Committee’s work on ensuring President Trump’s pro-growth agenda is executed in this budget reconciliation process.

On economic growth through budget reconciliation:“[The Senate has come around], Larry, and you and I have talked about this many times, why it’s so important to have one bill. President Trump has been all in on the idea of one big, beautiful bill. [I] was just in the Oval Office talking with him about this on Monday, and he is really pushing as well. That’s why I think you’re seeing the Senate moving even faster now. We’ve got to get this bill moved through as quickly as possible to get those big bounces in the economy that Kevin Hassett was talking about. When you think about the economic growth that comes along with a, number one, not just a lower and simplified tax code, but the certainty that you get. Because right now there is a lot of uncertainty that’s holding back a lot of trillions, I’ve heard, of investment that could be coming into the economy that’s not right now until we get this done. Let’s get it done soon and then get the big bounce that comes with it for the American workers and the economy.”On the need to extend the Trump tax cuts:“Yeah, and the good news on that, Larry, on both fronts, the answer is yes. And the two are tied together because I think some people initially were worried that if you go to current policy baseline, it would be used to avoid cuts. We cannot avoid cuts. You know, with the deficit, with the debt, we have got to start getting control over spending. And President Trump’s got that as a top priority, too. So making sure that we get the savings as well as going to current policy as baseline allows you to go to permanency instead of ten-year renewal, and then you get an even bigger bounce. Ten-year renewal would be great. A permanent tax code would be even better. So we want the Senate to add that in. They’re the side that’s really got to address that. Their parliamentarian is the one who makes those decisions. It’s a Senate issue, really not a House issue. Let’s get it added in. Still do the real savings so that we get that economic bounce and a lower deficit at the same time. All that’s being worked on together. I think when you see this bill come back and then we start the reconciliation process, it’s going to be full steam ahead.“Yes, [I think the Senate can get to the $1.5 trillion budget savings that are implicit in the House budget]. Look, we went back and forth on this a lot. It took us probably a month of intense meetings with every element of our conference. We’ve got ultra-fiscal hawks. We’ve got people in swing, moderate districts that had very different views on this. We got everybody in a room, and that’s where we settled on $1.5 trillion. The Senate is going to find out the same thing.”On Republicans working toward one big, beautiful bill:“President Trump has been consistently pushing for that one big, beautiful bill. I think now that he’s being more vocal about it and pushing the Senate, I think he wanted to get the government funding issue taken off the table. We did that with the CR that we passed through the House, and Chuck Schumer had to swallow. The left’s going livid over that, but that removed a big obstacle. Now, President Trump’s got his exclusive focus on getting reconciliation done in one big, beautiful bill so that we can get that economic bounce for the hard working families, no tax on tips, all the things he talked about during the campaign, plus energy security, Larry, border security, the other things that go with it.”On the Ways and Means Committee’s work on maximizing impact of the budget bill:“Let me nail it down for you, Larry. You absolutely can do it in that one big, beautiful bill. Renewing existing tax policy is the first thing you do. But then [Chairman] Jason Smith and the Ways and Means Committee have also been meeting on the additional items. We’ve sat down with President Trump to go over things like no tax on tips. There’s other things we’re looking at, too. More pro-growth policies. All of that will be looked at. Now, ultimately, Ways and Means has to make all the numbers add up, and that’s when they can put it all together. Both renewal and new policy can be in that same bill coming out of the Ways and Means Committee. Then we’ll put it all together with the energy policies and the border policies. The debt ceiling will be handled for two years, so President Trump won’t have to worry about that. The deficit reduction components, all that will be in that one big, beautiful bill. We’ll put it all together, bring it, hopefully by the summer, pass that, and get it to the President’s desk.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), and Congressman Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.) to discuss the need for the Senate to move on budget reconciliation now that Republicans successfully kept the government open, despite Democrats’ efforts to shut it down. Additionally, Leader Scalise highlighted Hyundai’s multibillion-dollar investment in Louisiana thanks to President Trump’s leadership and pro-growth agenda.

On the unity of the Republican party: “While the Democrat Party continues to show the country that they’re a leaderless, rudderless ship, Republicans have been uniting to lead this country out of the doldrums from the Biden Administration. You can just look at the actions we’ve taken in the House, working with the Senate and with President Trump to start getting our country back on track. And that hard work is already paying off for American families. You’re seeing gas prices start to come down, egg prices are starting to come down.”On private investment moving to the United States under President Trump:“What’s really important for long-term growth – billions and now trillions of dollars of private investment are coming back home to America to create really good high-paying jobs for American workers. The Speaker and I were proud to attend a White House ceremony yesterday with our governor and other leaders, where Hyundai announced a multibillion-dollar plant that they’re building in the United States of America – going to create about 1,400 jobs in Louisiana. This is just one of many examples that we’re seeing that we call the Trump effect, where we’re seeing so many companies invest heavily in Louisiana and other states. In our state alone, we’ve had probably over $40 billion of private investment announced since President Trump took office again. And that’s not only really good jobs, it’s things like energy security, building more car manufacturing plants, and the resources that go along with it will no longer have to source those materials from other countries. Hostile countries, in many cases, will now be able to refine those materials here in the United States as well with American workers. That would not have happened without the leadership of President Trump. We’ve totaled up when you look at all the private investment that’s come into the United States just in the two months since Donald Trump has taken office, it’s nearly $4 trillion in new jobs and investment in the United States of America. That’s historic, it’s unprecedented, and we’re just getting started.”On Democrats voting to shut the government down:“We’ve been talking to President Trump. I talked to him twice over the weekend about budget reconciliation. Now that we got government funding out of the way, and the Speaker did a phenomenal job of uniting Republicans, imagine a CR to fund government passed exclusively by Republicans. One Democrat came along after we had the votes to pass it in the House, and then the Senate ultimately had to finally take that bill up and pass it themselves, which is what caused the Democrats to go into yet another tailspin because Democrats wanted to shut the government down. Almost every Democrat voted against that bill, which also, by the way, had a 40-year largest increase pay raise for our military. Our men and women in uniform who deserved that massive raise. Almost every Democrat voted no on that as well as trying to shut the government down. So, they still don’t want to be serious. They’re not going to be taken seriously by the American people. But we’re going to keep doing our job.”On budget reconciliation: “The next job is budget reconciliation. That is number one on President Trump’s priority list now to get Congress to work together with him to pass that one big, beautiful bill that we’ve been talking about – a bill that not only locks in tax rates, creates more investment in the United States, but also allows us to produce more energy in America, lowering costs for families, creates more border security for America, allows President Trump to continue the great work he’s done. We’ve seen over a 95% drop in illegal crossings. We need to build out the wall. We need to give more technology to our Border Patrol agents that President Trump has asked for, strengthening our national defense and bringing common sense back into the rule and regulatory process in Washington. These are just the first few months of what’s going to be a historic majority working for the American people, delivering results for the American people. “And the man who’s leading this cause and uniting Republicans, even with just a two-seat majority, hopefully not for much longer, we’re going to grow that number. But even with that, our Speaker has been keeping us together, moving our agenda.”
