John,
Good evening, and welcome to our Weekend
Update.
Yesterday, Iran launched a heinous attack
against Israel. The United States must always stand unequivocally with
our great ally. We remain committed to our closest partner in the
Middle East, and such a vicious attack cannot stand. My prayers are
with the people of Israel in the wake of this ruthless attack.
Last night, President Donald J. Trump's
campaign held a rally in Schnecksville, Lehigh County. It was a large,
enthusiastic crowd of Pennsylvanians fired up to re-elect Trump and
our GOP ticket. I was honored to address the crowd before President
Trump spoke. Click

I focused my remarks on the destructive,
damaging and deadly policies of the Biden administration to the U.S.
and the world. I contrasted that reality with the strong economy and
global stability we had under President Trump. In order to truly get
America on the right, crucial direction to strengthen our national
security and our economy, all American-loving citizens must
vote...Vote early, vote by mail, vote on Election Day. This is the
most important election of our lifetime. Vote and volunteer to help
contact infrequent voters or voters who lost confidence in elections,
we all must vote to put America on track to be great again.

President Trump provided our campaign
with his full endorsement, and I am proud to have his support.
When you peel back the onion on the Biden
Administration, all you want to do is cry. Nothing is being done from
a tax, regulatory, or fiscal responsibility standpoint that is helping
drive or strengthen our economy. This Administration’s policies have
been devastating to American small businesses. I joined "Mornings with
Maria" on Fox Business to discuss. Click

Under Biden’s disastrous border
policies, we have drugs poisoning our nation’s youth, human
trafficking, rising crime in our cities, and now rampant squatting by
illegal immigrants. My recently introduced SHIELD Act will make
illegal immigrants think twice before squatting in an American’s home
by making trespassing a deportable offense. I joined "Fox &
Friends Weekends" on Fox News to discuss. Click

The dramatic increase in the number of
illegal immigrants squatting in American homes is yet another example
of how the disastrous situation at our southern border is impacting
communities across the country. That’s why I introduced the SHIELD
Act, which would make trespassing a deportable offense for illegal
aliens and deem the alien permanently inadmissible for entry into the
United States. Click

legislation.
This legislation will serve as a
deterrent and make illegals think twice before attempting to trespass
on or unlawfully possess an American’s property. Click

The Fourth Amendment protects our
citizens against warrantless searches and seizures. And while we must
ensure that national security is as strong as it needs to be, we must
also safeguard the freedoms of the American people. We need to
accomplish both of those goals as the House considers the
reauthorization of FISA. I joined the "American Agenda" on Newsmax to
comment further on the issue. Click

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE
MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Since Biden took office, overall prices
have shot
up by 19.4% — a MASSIVE hit on hardworking Americans.
Nowhere is that price pain felt
more than in the daily foods Americans buy.
SINCE BIDEN TOOK
OFFICE…
- Eggs are up 49.3%.
- Gas is up 47.8%.
- Peanut butter is up 40.1%.
- Crackers are up 38.2%.
- Flour is up 33.5%.
- Butter/margarine is up 32%.
- Salad dressing is up 30.6%.
- Baby food is up 30.5%.
- Sugar is up 29.1%.
- Frozen vegetables are up 28.2%.
- Bakery products are up 26.7%.
- Soups are up 26.4%.
- Steaks are up 24.8%.
- Chicken is up 23.9%.
- Pet food is up 23.7%.
- Bread is up 23.7%.
- Cereal is up 22.5%.
- Coffee is up 19.6%.
- Milk is up 15%.
Overall, grocery prices have
surged by 21.1% since Biden took office. That’s a massive
drag on Americans already paying more for almost
everything during the Biden administration.
These unending price hikes (which
Biden promised would
be “transitory” but was lying) have decimated Americans’ finances.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans reported living
paycheck-to-paycheck last year — an increase from 2022 — as credit
card debt hits record
highs and savings accounts dwindle.
That is the definition of Bidenomics!
By finalizing its deeply flawed Climate Rule, Biden's
U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission
compels companies into political speech and prioritizes its legal
defenses over investor welfare. This rule undermines American energy
dominance and is a sideshow, distracting the SEC from its core
mission. Click

Committee meeting.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 led to years of record-low
unemployment, GDP growth, real wage growth, and all-time high tax
revenues. Families saw their median household income increase over
$6,000 yearly, real wages grew 4.9%, 6 million people were lifted out
of poverty, and Main Street Businesses saw over $65 billion in tax
savings.
Earlier this week, as part of a House
Committee on Small Business
hearing, I spoke with small business owners about the need to extend
expiring pro-growth tax provisions, like
immediate R&D expensing and total bonus depreciation, and work to
extend the rest of TCJA before 2025. America must have a tax code that
fosters investment and innovation, making us the most competitive
place in the world to do business. Click

This week, I addressed the Security Traders Association, discussing the
current U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission landscape and challenging rules like the Climate
Rule and Volume-Tiered Pricing Prohibition. Nasdaq's Chuck Mack and I dove into how these
regulations impact capital access for my constituents, Pennsylvanians,
and all investors.
A productive dialogue ensued on current issues of the day and
maintaining U.S. market competitiveness, ensuring we remain the
world's most competitive place to do business.
I was happy to meet with the
Semiconductor Industry
Association,
including Intel and EMD Electronics representatives, who recently invested $300
million in Pennsylvania’s 9th District. We discussed the need to
address tax and workforce issues, which are key to the future of U.S.
semiconductor leadership. We must ensure America is the most
competitive place in the world to invest and do business.
Check out my extensive interview on
Feedback WEEU. We covered several of
the most pressing issues facing Pennsylvania and our country,
including Bidenomics, the crisis at our southern border, crime in our
cities, the Biden Family scandals, and much more. Click

Last but not least, I spent the evening
with Rob Bresnahan, Republican candidate for the 8th congressional
district, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. For both of our
stops, there were packed rooms of people wanting to see our Republican
majority grow in the U.S. House. The support provided to candidates
like Rob is vital in ensuring we can keep control in the House and
continue to legislate conservatively.
We are excited to catch up with you next
week. God Bless, and see you soon,
Dan
