Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Earlier this week, it was great to join Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressman Rob Bresnahan for an event focused on supporting the brave men and women of law enforcement who work every day to keep our communities safe. Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans are working alongside President Trump to restore law and order, secure our border, combat the flow of deadly fentanyl, and stand firmly with the officers who put their lives on the line to protect us. Despite holding one of the narrowest majorities in congressional history, the Speaker continues to unite us and deliver results for the American people.

Rob has also been a strong addition to Pennsylvania’s Republican congressional delegation and an effective partner in representing the priorities of northeastern Pennsylvania. We are fortunate to have his leadership in Washington and his commitment to the hardworking families and communities he serves.

Protecting our Republican House majority will be critical to maintaining the progress we have made and continuing to move our country in the right direction. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Speaker Johnson, Rob, and our entire Republican team to deliver for Pennsylvania and advance our shared conservative values.

After reviewing his polling, Hakeem Jeffries seems to be trying to convince the American people that his party isn’t as crazy as everybody thinks. That’s why he’s twisting himself like a pretzel, trying to say he appreciates extreme socialist policies while also trying to distance himself from the socialists taking over his party at the same time.

Watch my appearance on “Mornings with Maria” on Fox Business where I discuss why the extremism of the radical left is not relatable to the vast majority of the American public. Click here or below to watch.

Republicans want to grow the economy, and the socialist democrats want to grow the government. That’s perhaps the biggest difference between Republicans and Democrats.

The decision facing the American people couldn’t be clearer. This is a policy debate, and Republicans believe in common sense.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Over the weekend, far-Left Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett said Democrats embracing policies like abolishing the police, prisons, and borders are a “path to victory” and “a path to saving our democracy.”

Democrats nationwide are fully embracing this extreme agenda: 

• DNC Chair Ken Martin: “We build a winning coalition by widening the circle, expanding the tent.”

• Former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe says there isn’t Democrat socialist vs Democrat anymore — they’re all far-Left and extreme now.

• Senator Adam Schiff: “It is one Democratic party, and I think if we want to be in the majority we’re going to have to be a big tent party.”

• Rep. Analilia Mejia said it’s “an indicator of the vibrancy and wellness of our Democratic party.”

• Rep. Pramila Jayapal: “Progressives have always been about advancing things that are good for Americans…”

• Rep. Suhas Subramanyam: “If we want to win in November we're going to have to have a broad base.”

Democrats don’t actually care about working for the American people as long as they can claw their way to power. Nevada Democrat Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar said it himself: “Do we want to be right? Or do we want to win? I want to win!”

This week, I launched my second Fraud & Scams Public Service Announcement, now airing on radio stations across Pennsylvania’s Ninth Congressional District. Click here or below to watch.

In 2025, Americans reported losing nearly $16 billion to fraud. However, given chronic underreporting, the real number could be far higher.

As Chairman of the Financial Services Committee Republicans Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I have led a comprehensive investigation into financial fraud and scams, released a report outlining solutions, introduced bipartisan legislation to hold online platforms accountable, and worked with Vice President JD Vance's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.

Listen to my latest public service announcement above or visit Meuser.house.gov/scams for information on how to recognize, reject, and report financial scams.

You are not fighting these scammers alone; my office is here to help.

I sat down with WBRE to discuss our efforts to combat financial fraud. Click here or below to watch.

SCAM ALERT: Pennsylvanians should be on alert for government imposter scams where criminals pose as local sheriff’s offices and threaten arrest over missed jury duty or court hearings.

Legitimate law enforcement and courts will not demand payment by gift card, Bitcoin, or cryptocurrency to avoid arrest. Never pay over the phone.
Hang up, call back using official numbers, and report the scam to reportfraud.ftc.gov. Learn more about this new scam from Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Dave Sunday by clicking here or below.

A related issue we are facing is the tremendous amount of fraud plaguing our federal government. One area that Vice President JD Vance's Fraud Task Force has identified is roughly $230 billion in Medicare fraud. That is taxpayer money that is being used improperly. Click here or below to watch Vice President Vance and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller outline their findings. 

The strain of rising costs are impacting every family and they have been for years. The Democrat Party and the mainstream media are attempting to push a narrative that the higher prices are a result of the Trump presidency.

CNN continues to push this false narrative. Thankfully, Scott Jennings masterfully debunks this false information. Click here or below to watch.

The truth is that these high prices spiked rapidly during the Biden "autopen" administration. Please watch the video below for a refresher on the timeline of rising costs by clicking here or below.

It was a pleasure to join business leaders at East Penn Manufacturing Co. for the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance’s Legislative Roundtable on the future of manufacturing in Pennsylvania.

Our manufacturers are the backbone of our economy, providing good-paying jobs, driving innovation, and strengthening communities across the Commonwealth. We discussed how we can continue attracting investment, helping businesses expand, developing a skilled workforce, and building stronger supply chains.

Thank you to Rep. Jamie Barton for joining us, East Penn Manufacturing Co. and Visions Federal Credit Union for sponsoring the event, and everyone at the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance who helped bring together local manufacturers and business leaders for an important conversation.

Pennsylvania has everything it needs to be a national manufacturing leader, and I look forward to continuing to work with our business community to make that happen.

I had a great time marching alongside State Treasurer Stacy Garrity in the annual Grand Slam Parade to kick off the Little League World Series in Williamsport. It’s always a pleasure to see the joy and excitement the LLWS brings to the community.

Each year, Williamsport becomes an international hub for the next generation of baseball stars. The community and everyone involved in the Little League World Series should be proud of the way they showcase Williamsport and the spirit of sportsmanship to the entire world.

Good luck to everyone competing in this year’s tournament, especially Pennsylvania’s own East Side Little League from West Chester, representing the Mid-Atlantic Region!
