Dear Friend,

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

On Friday, I joined "Varney & Co." on Fox Business to speak about the contrast in priorities we are seeing in Washington. While some Democrats are resorting to profanity-driven messaging in an out-of-touch attempt to connect with the American people, Republicans are focused on real solutions.

That includes rolling back costly Biden-era energy regulations that would have placed unnecessary burdens on small businesses—with no meaningful return.

We also discussed President Donald J. Trump’s call to improve public safety and the quality of life in Washington—necessary steps toward making our nation’s capital a place that truly reflects our great country. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

This week, there has been a lot of talk about Signal chat and a successful mission to make our nation safer. I conducted an interview on CNN where I made one thing clear: While the Biden administration consistently refused to take accountability for its national security failures — from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to Secretary Austin disappearing for days — NSA Waltz acknowledged his mistake, and steps are being taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

But let’s not lose sight of the real issue: The only reason a strike on the Houthis was necessary is that Biden lifted their terror designation. His policy of appeasement emboldened Iran and strengthened its proxies, leading to more than 170 Houthi attacks on U.S. warships and commercial vessels.

That era of weakness is over. Under President Trump, accountability is back — and so is American strength. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch my interview.

President Trump and Secretary of Education Linda McMahon are committed to returning control of education to the states—where it belongs—and empowering parents, local leaders, and teachers.

But putting funding and decision-making back in the hands of states is just one piece of the puzzle. If we genuinely want to improve student outcomes, we must embrace school choice—something the governor’s office still refuses to do in Pennsylvania.

At the federal level, I am pleased to support H.R. 833, the Educational Choice for Children Act, which offers a federal tax credit to encourage charitable donations toward scholarships that help families cover K-12 expenses—tuition, books, supplies, and more. This bill is expected to benefit two million students nationwide, opening the door to better educational opportunities—whether in public, private, religious, or homeschool settings.

In 1997, nearly 8,800 companies were publicly traded in the U.S. Today, that number has dropped to fewer than 4,000. Meanwhile, the cost of going public has increased to more than $12 million—shutting out small businesses and everyday investors.

President Trump, the U.S. Department of the Treasury Secretary Bessent, and incoming U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins are working to create more opportunities by making both public and private markets work for the American people.

Watch below as I question witnesses at the House Financial Services Committee hearing on how streamlining regulations, lowering costs, and expanding access to capital can help small businesses, rural communities, and retail investors thrive. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is at the top of the list needing reform. Its unchecked power, combined with arrogance, dogmatic ideology, and narrowmindedness, poses a dangerous threat to our government and, more importantly, consumers across the country.



My testimony before the House Financial Services Committee revealed how the CFPB has blatantly ignored the law, misused taxpayer funds, and wasted $700 million—resources meant to protect <>consumers—while straying far from its original, authorized mission.



The Trump Administration and incoming CFPB Director Jonathan McKernan are committed to refocusing the bureau, providing regulatory relief for financial institutions while maintaining consumer protections and oversight of unfair practices. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

President Trump’s new Tesla is parked just outside the West Wing. Great to see this American-made car prominently displayed near the entrance to the White House.



IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Earlier this week, members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team joined <[link removed]> Bret Baier on Special Report — a compelling segment on their efforts to fulfill President Donald J. Trump’s mission of making government work for the people again.

Here’s what you missed:

- Tom Krause on restoring fiscal responsibility <[link removed]>: “We’re changing the culture … There’s $500 billion of fraud every year, there’s hundreds of billions of dollars of improper payments, and we can’t pass an audit … If I was a public company CFO, I would effectively be removed.”


- Aram Moghaddassi on improving Social Security benefits <[link removed]>: “The two improvements that we’re trying to make to Social Security are helping people that legitimately get benefits protect them from fraud that they experience every day on a routine basis, and also make the experience better … At Social Security, one of the first things we learned is that they get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information … We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters … Almost half.”


- Elon Musk on cracking down on fraudulent payments <[link removed]>: “There were over $300M of Small Business Administration loans that have been given out to people under the age of 11 … $300 million to over the age of 120 … The youngest recipient of a Small Business Administration loan is a nine-month-old.”


- Brad Smith on enhancing health care <[link removed]>: “There’s 700 different IT systems today at NIH … They can’t speak to each other. They have 27 different CIOs. And so when you think about making great medical discoveries, you have to connect the data.”
- Joe Gebbia on making government retirement more efficient <[link removed]>: “The process takes many months — and we’re going to make it just many days.”


- Elon Musk on waste, fraud, and abuse <[link removed]>: “The sheer amount of waste and fraud in the government, it is astonishing — it’s mind blowing. We routinely encounter wastes of $1 billion or more — casually.”


- Elon Musk on DOGE’s core mission <[link removed]>: “At the end of the day, America is going to be in much better shape. America will be solvent. The critical programs that people depend upon will work and it’s going to be a fantastic future.”

I would highly encourage you to watch this interview with Elon and his DOGE team. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

While the leftwing media demonizes the DOGE team's efforts and radical activists burn Teslas, the reality is they are effectively cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal government. They should be applauded. In Congress, I plan to do more than cheer them on by actively assisting them whenever possible to make our Federal government more efficient and effective for the American people.

On Friday, our campaign held a successful event at Mar-A-Lago. President Trump is Making America Great Again. It’s time for us to have a leader who will Make Pennsylvania Great Again.

Congressman Mast, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, joined us and gave remarks reminding us all how personal President Trump and us, take the plan to Make America Great Again. 



Jim Worthington hosted the event and offered some incredibly generous and meaningful remarks as he introduced me at our event. Jim is a great business person, community developer and leader. Additionally, he is a political leader who supported President Trump‘s election as much as anyone and then some. He served as the chairman of Pennsylvania's convention delegation. He’s an amazing person, and I just couldn’t thank him and his wife, Kim, for their friendship and support.

Shelley and I are pictured with Congressman Brian Mast and Jim Worthington.







The House GOP had the opportunity to meet with Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater, to discuss the mounting national debt. The growing national debt is perhaps the greatest single threat to the future of our nation.



Great to meet with Nasdaq's Terry Campbell and Kevin Kennedy of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange today. The PHLX was founded in 1790 and is the first and oldest stock exchange in the United States. Nasdaq PHLX is also a critical economic driver for Philadelphia, supporting nearly 300 jobs and growing.

As Financial Services Committee Republicans work to strengthen our capital markets, we must ensure they remain accessible, efficient, and competitive—so they work for retail investors and help maximize retirement savings for hardworking Americans.



I sat down with Nicole Stallings and John Myers from the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania. We had an insightful conversation on the role of government payers within the healthcare system and the essential services hospitals provide to residents across the Commonwealth. Thank you for taking the time to visit my DC office. I enjoyed our productive conversation.



Great to welcome Ally Bank, the nation’s largest all-digital bank, to my Washington office today. We had a productive discussion on the auto lending industry, ways to streamline regulations to enhance competition and affordability in banking, and how best to support President Trump’s excellent financial services nominees.



On Tuesday, we celebrated National Medal of Honor Day. We recognize those who have received our nation’s highest military honor for their extraordinary acts of valor.

These heroes went above and beyond the call of duty, often at great personal risk, to protect their fellow servicemembers and defend our nation. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to our country inspire us all. We are forever grateful.



On Saturday, it was National Vietnam War Veterans Day. As we mark the 50th anniversary of the war’s end, we recognize the brave Americans who served and sacrificed in the fight against communism.

Their courage and dedication to defending freedom will never be forgotten. We remain grateful for their service.





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



Dan Meuser
