Weekly Update - 11.16.25

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. For the last forty-plus days, it’s been all pain and no gain for the American people. During this time, I’ve met with food banks, Head Start programs, and SNAP recipients in my District who are suffering from the Democrat-inflicted shutdown. Some of my colleagues on the left have done the same, yet shockingly, they voted to keep the government closed. It’s time to fix the damage Democrats have caused. House Republicans and I voted tonight to do just that—to restore SNAP payments, get TSA and air traffic controllers paid, pay our federal workers, pay our Capitol police and border patrol, and pay all the people that work here in the Capitol. With the nation celebrating Veterans Day earlier this week, this comes to mind: our veterans didn’t fight for the red or the blue—they fought for the red, white, and blue. On Wednesday evening, Congress followed their example. Click here or below to watch my floor remarks.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. I’m honored to receive President Donald J. Trump’s endorsement and grateful for his support! Together, we share a commitment to putting America First, growing our economy, cutting burdensome regulations, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, and strengthening our national security. I’ll continue working with President Trump to build on the successes of his administration and strive every day to deliver results for the people of Pennsylvania’s 9th District and for our great nation!

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. First, I hope you had a Happy Halloween. It's a great time to make some memories with our children… as well as the young at heart.  

Weekly Update - 10.26.25

Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. The effects of this Democrat-caused shutdown are being felt across the country. From our rural hospitals and small businesses to our veterans, SNAP recipients, airports, and food banks, every corner of this nation has been impacted by the Schumer Shutdown. On Newsmax, I spoke about how, in addition to refusing to reopen the government, Democrats are also failing to condemn the hateful and dangerous rhetoric coming from the Left at the No Kings rallies. Instead, they seem determined to Make America Mad Again. Meanwhile, President Trump and Republicans continue to fight for the American people. The President remains focused on results, working to keep essential programs running, protecting our borders, and getting Americans back to work. It’s time for Senate Democrats to listen to their constituents, vote to reopen the government, and help Make America Great Again. Click here or below to watch.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. On Monday, Columbus Day, a new dawn has risen in the Middle East. This historic moment marks the safe return of 20 hostages who were finally reunited with their families after more than two years in captivity. I commend President Donald J. Trump, Secretary Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and everyone who had a hand in making this landmark agreement possible.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. I want to begin by wishing everyone a Happy Columbus Day tomorrow. Before we review the latest on the Schumer-Jeffries Democrat Government Shutdown, I have to discuss the historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas negotiated by President Donald Trump. President Trump is the Peace President and should win the Nobel Peace Prize for his achievements. Two years after the atrocious terrorist attacks in Israel, it finally appears that the Israeli hostages and victims will be returned to their families.  

Weekly Update - 10.5.25

Good evening, and welcome to our Weekend Update. The Schumer-Jeffries Democrat Government Shutdown is underway. Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole had an agreement with Democrats for a short-term funding agreement that they now refuse to support. That would have allowed us to complete our appropriations work, maintain regular order, and then vote on a budget by November 21. Democrats, for political reasons, decided that wasn’t good enough, particularly Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries. I joined "Mornings with Maria" on Fox Business to discuss the shutdown. Republicans didn’t ask for this shutdown. President Trump didn’t ask for this shutdown. Democrats are blocking a clean continuing resolution for purely political reasons. Facts are facts, and they can’t be ignored. Click here or below to watch.

Good evening, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Before I begin, I want to reference the horrific act of violence that took place in Michigan this morning. We are still learning details about this violent attack on a church in Grand Blanc. Please read a statement from President Donald J. Trump on the violent attack below. We join him and all Americans in extending our prayers to the victims and their families. This morning, Shelley and I  joined the Tunnels to Towers (T2T) 5K run to honor the legacy of our fallen first responders and service members and to support their families. The work T2T does to help families of fallen first responders and wounded warriors is truly incredible and makes a lasting difference. The courage and sacrifice of those who run toward danger to protect others can never be forgotten, and I’m honored to support them.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. First, I want to acknowledge the horrific tragedy that occurred in York County on Wednesday. Shelley and I are praying for the families and loved ones of the three police officers who were killed today in York County, as well as for the two officers who were injured. We also lift up the entire York County law enforcement community during this heartbreaking time. The men and women who wear the badge represent the very best of our communities. They step forward each day with courage, never knowing what dangers they may face, yet always committed to protecting others. Today’s tragedy is a painful reminder of the risks they take on our behalf. We will continue to keep these officers and their families in our thoughts and prayers, asking for strength, comfort, and peace for all who are impacted. I joined “Newsline” on Newsmax to speak about the tragic events in York County. I also pushed back on Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s outrageous remarks, noting that such statements drive hate and can lead to violent acts. Finally, I discussed the Fed’s rate cut—how supply-side growth and lower rates will strengthen housing, reduce inflation, and add billions to our GDP. Click here or below to watch.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Hello everyone. Well, it’s been a somber few days. Been a lot of emotions, anger, sadness, and frustration. We’re looking for answers for the loss, for the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie, simply, was a person constantly seeking goodness in his discussions in his debate. He was always seeking the higher road. And he engaged, boy did he engage… Ultimately, he was killed for it; killed for spreading his message like someone else we love and cherish, and that is, in fact, Jesus Christ. Charlie Kirk would be the first to tell you he was a sinner. We were all sinners, but Charlie Kirk always tried to take the high road. He tried to maintain grace. He tried to always embrace humanity and the blessings of Jesus Christ. This is perhaps his legacy for us all to embrace. We must all try to do the right thing… Try to say things in the right way, try to act in a manner becoming of our savior. It’s not always easy, but we have to keep trying, even when the other side makes it very difficult. We must try to forgive shortcomings, while being fearless, because that’s what humanity, faith, and Christianity are about.  I joined Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” to discuss the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk.
