Dear Friend,

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

From my family to yours, wishing all the great dads across Pennsylvania’s 9th District and the country a very happy Father’s Day! (Pictured below with my dad, Stan, and my son, Danny.)



During President Trump’s first term, he put an end to the Obama/Biden policy of paying Iran to stop enrichment of nuclear materials. Now in his second term, he brought Iran’s military to its knees and their leaders to the negotiating table.

Watch my appearance on the “American Agenda” on Newsmax where I lay out how the President’s strategy ensures that Iran complies with the terms of the emerging agreement between our two countries. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

Democrats shut down immigration enforcement for 115 days. Their goal: return to the open-border policies of the Biden administration.

This week, I joined the “John Fredericks Show” with Congressman GT Thompson, PA Senator Jarrett Coleman, and Mike Barley to discuss how House Republicans cut through the Democrat leadership blockade to fund immigration enforcement for the next three years and other major legislation we passed last week to combat government waste, fraud, and abuse.

I recently joined the “RJ Harris Breakfast Show” on WHP-580 for my regular monthly update on the biggest developments in Washington and in our district.

This week, RJ and I discussed House Republicans’ major push to combat waste, fraud, and abuse, my SCAM Act legislation to protect Americans from online fraud, and more. Click here <[link removed]> or below to listen.



I joined the “Bob Cordaro Show” on WILK-FM to discuss President Trump’s agreement with Iran and how it will reshape the Middle East and alleviate pressures on our economy. President Trump has done something no other President could: make Iran commit to never attempt to possess a nuclear weapon.

He did it without sending piles of taxpayer dollars to Tehran, like his predecessors. Listen to my interview where we discuss the deal, GOP efforts to fund border security, and more updates on my work in Washington. Click here <[link removed]> or below to listen.



On June 23rd, President Trump will visit our great Commonwealth to speak at the Mack Trucks facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania.

Mack Trucks is a symbol of America’s manufacturing strength. Their Lehigh Valley operations are a pillar of the local economy, employing Pennsylvania workers and driving the nation’s trucking industry. Thank you, President Trump, for supporting American workers.

I look forward to welcoming President Trump back to Pennsylvania and hope to see everyone there to show our support and appreciation for his leadership in making America great again! Click here <[link removed]> or below to register.



IN NEWS YOU WON’T SEE IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have secured a historic breakthrough by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran.Forged through decisive American strength, this agreement ensures Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon, reopens the Strait of Hormuz to free navigation, and puts America First — rejecting the failed policies of appeasement, cash payoffs, and endless wars that have weakened the United States for decades.

Here’s what I said:

Rep. Dan Meuser <[link removed]>: “President Trump has done something no other President could: make Iran commit to never attempt to possess a nuclear weapon. He did it without sending piles of taxpayer dollars to Tehran, like his predecessors.”

Here’s what they are saying:

Sen. John Barrasso <[link removed]>: “@POTUS Trump forced Iran to the table from a position of American strength. He has been clear:
❌Iran will not get a nuclear weapon
❌They will not have a path to a weapon
❌They are not going to be able to enrich uranium
America is putting an end to the terrorism.”

Sen. Jim Banks <[link removed]>: “Iran has been decimated. They know what will happen if they don’t hold up their end of the deal, and there will be hell to pay. Under @POTUS, we operate with Maximum Pressure and Peace Through Strength.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn <[link removed]>: “President @realDonaldTrump has shown time and time again on the world stage that he is determined to find peace and that his first priority will always be to put America first.”

Sen. Katie Britt <[link removed]>: “There is no one better at making a deal than @POTUS. I appreciate this Administration’s efforts to hold the Iranian regime accountable and ensure they can never obtain a nuclear weapon.”

Sen. Bill Hagerty <[link removed]>: “Where President Obama paid Iran for their nuclear program, @POTUS is making them pay to end it. After we decimated their military and nuclear capabilities, the world’s most infamous state sponsor of terrorism is finally coming to the table—this time, on President Trump’s terms.”

Sen. Ron Johnson <[link removed]>: “The ayatollahs declared war on the West 47 years ago. They are fanatics who have been engaging in and preparing for war all that time. President Trump recognizes the reality that the Iranian people were not able to overthrow the regime and that Americans would not support a ground war to defeat it. So @POTUS made a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz to limit economic damage and carefully monitor the regime’s behavior moving forward.”

Sen. Bernie Moreno <[link removed]>: “President Trump is the only one who had the guts to take decisive action and eliminate a threat we’ve faced for 47 years. Now he’s secured a historic deal that allows for peace and prosperity. Peace through strength”

Sen. Rand Paul <[link removed]>: “The same voices now attacking Trump’s Iran deal are the architects of every failed intervention of my lifetime. This war must end. I stand with President Trump on peace.”

Sen. Eric Schmitt <[link removed]>: “President Trump was very clear from the get-go what the mission here was, which was to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that — and they’re signing on the dotted line now for the first time that they’re not going to do that… We need to make sure, obviously, we’re verifying all of this — but the President has pulled off something here that most experts six months ago wouldn’t have thought was possible, and I think it’s good for the American people.”

Sen. Tim Scott <[link removed]>: “Once again, @POTUS proves he is the Dealmaker in Chief. When America leads with strength, we get results. A major victory for American security and global stability!”

Sen. Tommy Tuberville <[link removed]>: “As per usual, the Legacy Media are trying to undermine the administration. If there’s one thing @POTUS has shown time and time again, it’s to NEVER bet against Donald J. Trump. President Trump made history in 2020 with the Abraham Accords, and I have no doubt that he will once again secure PEACE for America and our allies.”

Rep. Mark Alford <[link removed]>: “Let me be clear—this started 47 years ago with the Iranian hostage crisis, the fall of that regime, and the rise of leaders in Iran who have been hostile to the United States and Western civilization ever since. And thank God we finally have a president who is standing up to them—with strength, with resolve, & putting Americans first.”

Rep. Buddy Carter <[link removed]>: “FORTY-SEVEN years of concessions to the Iranian Terrorist Regime and SEVEN U.S. presidents later… Only ONE President, @realDonaldTrump, is ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. America and the world are safer because of it – PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!”

Rep. Monica De La Cruz <[link removed]>: “Thank you, President Trump, for your tireless work to deliver this historic deal and secure peace worldwide”

Rep. Andy Harris <[link removed]>: “A remarkable day for America and the world. President Trump secured a historic agreement with Iran, bringing an end to the conflict and demonstrating once again that peace is achieved through strength.”

Rep. Diana Harshbarger <[link removed]>: “Peace through Strength”

Rep. Wesley Hunt <[link removed]>: “Take it from someone who actually fought in these wars. Getting the Gulf states aligned against Iran’s nuclear ambitions is a game changer. And that’s the key point: the world wants peace, but peace is only possible when rogue regimes understand there are consequences for their actions. In just a matter of months, President Trump brought Iran to a position it never imagined it would be in. Its military capabilities are shattered, its leverage evaporated, and its leaders were forced to confront reality. The result is an agreement designed to ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon for the foreseeable future. American strength achieved the outcome. Thanks to President Trump’s resolve.”

Rep. John James <[link removed]>: “The Iran deal is straightforward, common sense leadership from @POTUS. I flew Apache helicopters in Iraq knowing Iran was funding the networks shooting at us. I do not take this lightly. President Trump’s deal is simple: meet every condition or see nothing. No pallets of cash. No secret side deals. Nothing like Obama’s disastrous JCPOA. Choose peace and prosperity or stay in the darkness. Period. It is peace through strength and putting American interests first. By blocking out the noise from grifters and self-serving frauds, this deal will go down as bringing fundamental change to the Middle East. I stand with President Trump. Always have. Always will.”

Rep. Jim Jordan <[link removed]>: “No nuclear weapon for Iran. No open borders. No unchecked taxpayer fraud. Why is this controversial for Democrats?”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna <[link removed]>: “The Iran peace deal is good for all parties involved. Please stop attacking one another. Details from WH will be out soon. 🕊️ It will be WAY better than the Obama ‘deal.’ No need to attack one another.”

Rep. Brian Mast <[link removed]>: “@POTUS has earned the deference that he will nail Iran to the wall by leaving IRGC General Soleimani in pieces on a tarmac, conducting Operation Midnight Hammer, leveling Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, conducting Operation Epic Fury for 60 days, closing the entire Iranian coastline, destroying hundreds of billions of dollars of Iranian military infrastructure, leaving their Navy at the bottom of the sea, taking out their Air Force, erasing drone manufacturing, and eliminating their generals, nuclear scientists, and the Ayatollah. He hammered them for striking us repeatedly while every Congressional Democrat and some Republicans cried ‘run away and remove all forces from responding to Iran.’ Every Democrat and Republican who voted over and over again to remove hostilities from the region have earned the right to shut the hell up on this one.”

Rep. Lisa McClain <[link removed]>: “President Trump made sure Iran has NO PATH to a nuclear weapon.”

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks <[link removed]>: “I am glad to see this conflict come to an end. My hope is that lasting peace is restored in the region, that energy prices continue to fall for American families, and that Iran is never again a nuclear threat to the United States or our allies.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich <[link removed]>: “President Trump has achieved something many thought impossible: forcing the Iranian dictatorship away from the Obama-Biden path of appeasement without committing America to a massive ground war.”

Former Deputy National Security Advisor KT McFarland <[link removed]>: “I know it’s not popular to say this, but Trump’s Iran deal is brilliant.  No nukes, Strait reopened, US economy soars. Iran has path forward – if they behave. If not, boom, we resume military and econ punishment.”

Atlantic Council Vice President for Geostrategy and Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security Senior Director <[link removed].>: “Iran has posed one of the greatest threats to US national security for decades, and US military action over the past year (Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury) has succeeded in degrading Iran’s nuclear program, conventional military, political leadership, and defense-industrial capacity. This is a significant achievement. The major downside cost has been Iran’s threats to the Strait of Hormuz and the US retaliatory blockade, which have choked off global energy flows, leading to higher energy prices and a global economic shock. The deal announced this weekend promises to alleviate this economic pressure. I suspect it will hold because both sides have a strong economic incentive to get energy flowing to global markets. Trump may succeed, therefore, in defanging one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist states in exchange for several months of higher energy prices. That is a good trade… Iran’s nuclear program no longer exists, and if Tehran tries to rebuild, the US can simply bomb again.”

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell <[link removed]>: “Facts: Obama didn’t get rid of the Iranian leadership, didn’t lay a finger on their military assets but trusted them with a deal worth billion$. Trump got rid of the Iranian leadership, devastated their military and nuclear program and then started over with a diplomatic deal that will secure America’s future. This is how it is done. We’ve never had a President mixing military action and diplomacy so seamlessly.”

Fox Business Network Contributor Phil Flynn <[link removed]>: “This could really issue in a new era of lower prices. People don’t realize the threat that Iran posed to the global oil market for 47 years. It added to the cost of gasoline, it added to the cost of diesel, mainly because they were a threat. Insurance rates, you name it, terror threats, wars — that all added to the cost of oil. And if the market can believe — and I’m hopeful that will happen — that Iran will give up their nuclear weapons, that’s going to take away a huge threat from the region. If they quit giving their neighbors a hard time, we could see prices stay low for a very long period of time.”

Fox News Channel Host Jesse Watters <[link removed]>: “Here’s the bottom line: [Iran] will never have a nuclear weapon, the Strait is opened, the Ayatollah is dead, their military is whipped, and we did it in three months with no ground troops. And Mohammad is not getting a penny until he performs. And none of these pennies are even ours. And as a bonus, the United States is now the world’s biggest energy exporter. And hopefully, fingers crossed, we re-wired the Middle East so they make love, not war, and we don’t have to babysit them.”

America First Policy Institute <[link removed]>: “No administration has been positioned to end nearly five decades of terror as the Trump Administration. In just 107 days since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, American military forces have obliterated the Iranian navy, eliminated their air capabilities, and ensured that Iran can no longer arm their proxies’ capabilities. We commend the effort to finalize a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding with the Iranian regime, an important step toward ensuring that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon and no longer threaten the American people. This breakthrough was made possible by the Administration’s unprecedented military and economic pressure, particularly through Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury. We also recognize the important role of our regional partners in bringing about this diplomatic breakthrough.”

G7 Leaders <[link removed].>: “We recognize the breakthrough and the opportunity that currently exist in the Middle East. We welcome the announcement of a deal between the United States and Iran, secured under the strong leadership of President Trump, with the support of mediating countries, which provides an historic opportunity to prevent Iran from acquiring any nuclear weapon and tackling the threats related to its regional and ballistic activities. We support and are ready to contribute to its implementation.”

A closer look at our week:

As we enter our great nation’s semiquincentennial, I want to share a short passage that can serve as a framework for an immigration policy we can get behind:

Give us your builders, your strivers, your seekers of freedom—

Those who honor law, labor, and the shared promise of prosperity.

Send us those who cherish dignity, self-reliance, and respect for the place they now call home.

It matters not their wealth, nor their race, nor the land of their birth—

Only that they come willing to contribute, to unite, and to strengthen the nation they join.

Let them bring the richness of their heritage as an offering, not a replacement—

For here stands a culture forged in liberty, responsibility, and common purpose.


Bring us those ready not merely to arrive, but to belong.”


Chairman Congressman French Hill and our Financial Services Committee Republicans have worked to deliver a bipartisan, bicameral housing bill to President Trump that increases supply, improves affordability, bans institutional investors from owning single-family homes, and maintains a strong housing market.

I spoke in support of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act when it passed the House in May. The Senate has now amended the bill to reflect its priorities, producing a bipartisan, bicameral compromise that will return to the House for final consideration.

This is how the legislative process should work. This compromise delivers on President Trump’s promises, addresses America’s housing shortage, and helps put the dream of homeownership within reach for more Americans.

I look forward to voting for this bill and sending significant housing legislation to President Trump’s desk.



On Thursday, we had a great event in Luzerne County last night with so many friends and supporters.

I was glad to be joined by Senator Lisa Baker, Councilwoman and Chairwoman LeAnn McDermott, and many others for an evening of great conversation and strong support for the work ahead. It was encouraging to discuss the important work we’re continuing to do in Washington, particularly our efforts to combat fraud and improve government accountability, as well as the importance of getting out the vote and supporting Republican candidates this fall.

A special thank you to Bob Tambur and Robert Tamburro for hosting such an outstanding event and for their continued friendship and support. I always appreciate the opportunity to spend time with people who care deeply about our district, our Commonwealth, and the future we are building together.



I was glad to spend time in Valley Forge with Republicans from across Pennsylvania, reconnecting with longtime friends and welcoming our newly elected State Committee members.

On Friday night, I attended the PAGOP Summer Dinner and enjoyed hearing from CMS Administrator Dr. Oz, as well as future Governor and Lieutenant Governor Stacy Garrity and Jason Richey, as they shared their vision for the future of our Commonwealth.

On Saturday morning, I joined the PAGOP Summer State Committee Meeting, where I delivered a congressional update and discussed the work my colleagues and I are advancing in Washington on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania.

Thank you to Chairman Greg Rothman and Vice Chairwoman Bernie Comfort for their strong leadership, and to the PAGOP staff for organizing another outstanding event. The momentum is building, and I look forward to continuing our work to keep Pennsylvania and America moving in the right direction.



Friday was Juneteenth, which marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War was over and that enslaved people were freed under Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Later that year, the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified, abolishing slavery throughout the United States.

On this day, we remember the sacrifices made to end slavery and celebrate the blessings of freedom for all Americans. Happy Juneteenth.



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







Dan Meuser
