Dear Friend,

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

The wait is over. President Donald J. Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America. President Trump's inauguration marks a defining moment for America. His bold leadership will restore confidence in the American dream, secure our borders, unleash energy production, grow the economy, and put America First.



This New Golden Age is about unity, pride, common sense, and a renewed national purpose. Together, we have the opportunity to make the next four years the greatest in our nation’s history. Click here <[link removed]> to read my complete statement on Trump's inauguration.

While the cold weather forced the Trump team to make the difficult decision to move the swearing-in ceremony inside, the festivities were lively, and the mood was exuberant as we were all ready for President Trump to take his spot in the White House again.

Below is a slideshow of many great pictures of my family, friends and supporters throughout the inauguration festivities. Click here <[link removed]> or below to view.

On Monday morning, I joined "Fox and Friends First" on Fox News, where I emphasized the importance of Republican unity in delivering President Trump’s clear mandate to the American people. Together, we will secure our borders, strengthen national security, unleash American energy, and champion pro-growth policies that benefit families, small businesses, and our entire <>economy.

After 894 days in Taliban captivity, Ryan Corbett—a Susquehanna County native—is finally free and has been reunited with his wife, Anna, and their three children. This marks the end of a long and harrowing chapter for the Corbett family, and we are very grateful for this positive outcome.



My office met regularly with Ryan’s family, the U.S. State Department, the Hostage Negotiation Team, and Qatari officials throughout this process. We also worked closely with Rep. Claudia <[link removed][0]=AZV9aj27d0EYhR1Tle5jdXQhBYr1CyOaxUYVuu8X6DOdWUM1A9GpoEfmWfDexlu2uQnCxzFGOP5GCidPnQ6H6JTgEFaTOAc4uVSxnBbruzQ2Xs7dlwZLP7SlIhimGYIy9087I6eEcb6amIangnYDy0Mt3Mj9BGrJdMaJ2IyETn3oxnmg4Ldi258hlPd84wSehIw&__tn__=-]K-R> <>Tenney’s office to advocate for Ryan’s release. Special thanks to my Chief of Staff, Tim Costa, and Regional Director, James May, for their tireless efforts, including maintaining daily contact with Anna and the family during this ordeal.



We must also recognize and thank President Trump and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, whose leadership and commitment made the difference in bringing Ryan home. Welcome home, Ryan.







Rep. Tenney <[link removed][0]=AZWiN_xpPl74uqluUcLm2kXo8fpXiKZsuHvVHAPIv4LJio1OqcoBEnBiOOd8vmexDdOQADXCwjYnYGKeW9y9C4mPzOz6tkpEQSAWQklCzbdY4zi1iHaaPvQuqFOBw9KyPsp_3WaBbocLejAmTu3KDhZYZjIPzySf3wETsi09x3nPjiZXlMIZGRP7YN02pyUZBiw&__tn__=-]K-R> and I informed Speaker Mike Johnson that Ryan Corbett was freed from Taliban captivity. We will continue fighting for the release of all Americans wrongfully detained abroad.



On Tuesday, House Republicans joinedSean Hannity live on Fox News from the Capitol as Speaker Johnson laid out his plan to advance President Trump’s America First Agenda. With President Trump in the White House and unified Republican control of Congress, we will usher in a new Golden Age of America.



On Thursday, I joined "The Big Money Show" on Fox Business to discuss President Trump's comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He made it crystal clear to the world that America is back and open for business. With an America First focus on revitalizing manufacturing, energy dominance, and fair trade, his leadership signals a new era of American strength and opportunity.

Debanking—targeting and cutting off access to financial services undermines industries and livelihoods. This trend has been seen across sectors, such as digital assets, energy, and firearms manufacturing.





Such actions, often under regulatory pressure, are not just inappropriate—they're unfair, anti-competitive, and contrary to the principles of a free market. Our financial system is the world's envy, and I will continue to scrutinize any efforts that erode its foundation of <>fairness and opportunity. I appeared on FoxBusiness to discuss further.

President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered real results for hard-working families and small businesses. It fueled record-low unemployment, strong GDP growth, and real wage increases for all Americans. Families saw household incomes rise by over $6,000 yearly, and 6 million people were lifted from poverty. Main Street small businesses also benefited from over 66 billion in tax savings, allowing them to reinvest in their employees, innovation, and <>communities. I'm happy to partner with Americans for Prosperity - Pennsylvania on their #ProtectProsperity campaign to extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Congratulations to Pete Hegseth, our newly sworn-in Secretary of Defense. His commitment to peace through strength and unwavering support for the men and women of our armed services is exactly what our military needs. I look forward to the renewed focus and bold leadership he will bring to our armed forces.



Secretary Hegseth declared shortly after being sworn in, “We will put America First, and we will never back down.” These are not just words but a call to action.



In 2017, <>Pete attended a Schuylkill County Chamber event at the invitation of President Bob Carl. Secretary Hegseth has always been an advocate for the America First Agenda.





Additionally, I would like to applaud other cabinet members who have been confirmed, including our new Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Direct John Ratcliffe, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. President Trump's team is filled with patriotic Americans committed to the American First Agenda.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: On Day 1 in office, President Trump signed an Executive Order that suspends the physical entry of illegal aliens engaged in an invasion of the United States through the southern border.

- In joining the Union, the States agreed to surrender much of their sovereignty in exchange for the federal government’s promise in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, to “protect each of [the States] against Invasion.” 


- States, such as the Great State of Texas, have asked the Federal Government for protection against invasion during the Biden Administration, but it failed to protect them from millions of illegal aliens entering the United States, invading their communities, and imposing billions of dollars of costs upon State and local governments.


- The President has the authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as well as the inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution, to prevent the physical entry of illegal aliens into the United States across the southern border.

DIRECTION TO IMMEDIATELY REPEL, REPATRIATE, AND REMOVE ILLEGAL ALIENS INVOLVED IN AN INVASION:

- Through the exercise of his authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Constitution of the United States, President Trump is authorizing and directing the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of State to take all necessary action to immediately repel, repatriate, and remove illegal aliens across the southern border of the United States.


- Through the exercise of his authority, President Trump has further restricted access to the provisions of the immigration laws that would enable any illegal alien involved in an invasion across the southern border of the United States to remain in the United States, such as asylum.

PROMISES KEPT: In 2024, President Trump promised to “seal the border on Day 1.”

- As President Trump described in 2018: “Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal immigration hurts American workers; burdens American taxpayers; and undermines public safety; and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals, and communities in general, taking precious resources away from the poorest Americans who need them most. Illegal immigration costs our country billions and billions of dollars each year…I will, therefore, take every lawful action at my disposal to address this crisis. And that’s what we’re doing.”

The failed policies of the Biden administration created many problems, but perhaps none more dangerous than the crisis at the southern border. President Trump has taken decisive action to secure our border and stop the invasion. The results of his policies have already made an impact. Fox News has reported that the number of Border Patrol encounters at the southern border in the first three days of the Trump administration is 35% lower than the final three days of the Biden administration, according to multiple sources at the Department of Homeland Security. 

Additionally. under the direction of President Trump, Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan has led the charge already to purge our communities of violent, career criminals who reside in our nation illegally. Already, his teams have conducted hundreds of tactical raids, which have rounded up hundreds of violent criminals. Fox News  has an excellent report on their efforts, which includes the viral video of an illegal alien criminal from Haiti who was apprehended. This individual had 17 recent criminal convictions and was still on the streets of Boston. As he was arrested, he screamed: “F**k Trump! You feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro!” the man said. “Thank Obama for everything that he did for me, bro!” That sums up the Democrat's failed border agenda in one statement.

Congress has acted as well on illegal immigration. For the last four years, violent, illegal immigrants have been allowed to flow into our communities unchecked. Now, within 48 hours of President Trump's swearing-in, the Laken Riley Act was sent to President Trump’s desk, ensuring illegal immigrants who break the law are detained and deported before they can commit acts of violence against Americans.



At a time when Joe Biden lied about issuing pardons to his family, Hunter Biden, or murderers on death row, President Trump kept his promise to commute and pardon J6ers. That's a big difference between these two presidents. I joined CNN to discuss. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

As chairman of the Financial Services Committee Republicans Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I will focus on protecting America First interests in our financial system while addressing waste, fraud and abuse in government. This work will include confronting regulatory abuses like Operation Choke Point 2.0, in which regulators targeted industries they disfavor, from crypto to coal, and shut them out of the financial system.

This week, I reintroduced the bipartisan China Exchange Rate Transparency Act (CERT Act) to address China’s currency manipulation and lack of financial transparency. This legislation calls for greater accountability at the IMF to ensure fair global trade practices. By standing up to China’s manipulation, we’re working to protect American workers, businesses, and farmers from unfair competition. Click here <[link removed]> to learn more.

On Monday, we celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man committed to the fight for justice and equality. His famous words are stitched into the heart of this great nation and continue to inspire generations of Americans to work together for a better, more perfect union.



On Friday, thousands gathered in our nation’s capital for the 52nd annual March for Life. I applaud their dedication to protecting the rights of the unborn. In Congress, I remain committed to advancing policies that support mothers and uphold the sanctity of life.



Finally, while much of the national news was focused on President Trump's inauguration, we celebrated a momentum occasion in Pennsylvania as well. While I was in D.C. for session on Tuesday, our three GOP statewide row officers, Attorney General Dave Sunday, State Treasurer Stacy Garrity, and Auditor General Tim DeFoor, were sworn in. This is the first time that Republicans have held all three row offices. Congratulations to all three, and I look forward to working with them where I can to support Pennsylvania. 



May God continue to bless our nation. I look forward to seeing you soon,
