Dear Friend,
Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.
This week, I officially signed my Oath of Office after being sworn into my fourth term in Congress. I am grateful for the trust the people of Pennsylvania’s Ninth District have placed in me as I continue serving as their representative in Washington. Over the next two years, I will work with President Trump and our unified Republican Congress to advance commonsense solutions that put America First and benefit all Pennsylvanians.
As we begin the work of the 119th Congress, it was announced that I would be serving as the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. I want to thank Congressman French Hill for giving me this great opportunity.
Through this subcommittee, we’ll promote transparency, accountability, and pro-growth policies that benefit American families, businesses, and investors. Over the next two years, we will focus on exposing the harmful impacts of the Biden Administration’s failed policies while paving the way for the incoming Trump Administration to restore economic prosperity.

On Friday, I visited Immanuel Christian School in Hazleton to meet with the dedicated staff and spend time with the students.
When financial struggles nearly forced the school to close its doors last month, my office immediately intervened, working alongside school leaders and the IRS to secure Employee Retention Tax Credits that enabled the school to remain open. The school is an important institution in Luzerne County, and I’m pleased to have played a role in keeping its mission alive. Our office’s goal is always to support our community in times of need, and I’m happy that these efforts have enabled Immanuel Christian School to reopen its doors next week.

While visiting Immanuel Christian School this morning, we were lucky to have President Donald J. Trump say hello to the second—and third-grade classes. Thank you, President Trump, for taking the time to chat with these great students! I know this will be a moment they will never forget. Click here or below to watch this incredible moment. The kids' reaction is priceless.

It was great sitting down with Senator Dave McCormick to discuss our legislative priorities for the 119th Congress. Under the leadership of President-elect Trump, we’re ready to deliver on the America-First agenda that the people voted for: securing our border, growing our economy, promoting energy dominance, protecting our national security, and restoring peace through strength. Throughout this Congress, we’ll fight to improve the lives of hardworking families across Pennsylvania and beyond.
Yesterday, I enjoyed attending the ceremonial swearing-in for my good friend, Congressman Rob Bresnahan, at the Luzerne County Courthouse. I have no doubt that Rob will represent Pennsylvania’s 8th District and its residents well. I look forward to serving alongside him in Congress as we work to advance the America First agenda.
As the first piece of legislation considered in this new Congress, House Republicans reaffirmed our commitment to securing the border, addressing illegal immigration, and keeping our communities safe.
On Tuesday, I voted for the Laken Riley Act, an important bill that protects our communities by ensuring illegal immigrants who commit crimes like theft, burglary, and shoplifting—just as Laken Riley’s killer had—are detained and deported before they can commit violent acts against Americans.
House Republicans will continue to fight to protect our communities and put America First.
The Biden Administration’s new offshore drilling ban is yet another attack on American Energy Dominance. This outrageous move hurts our economy, job creation, and national security while enriching countries like Venezuela and Russia.
While the Biden-Harris Administration has spent four years prioritizing ideology over results, President Trump will soon Make America Energy Dominant Again, producing clean, affordable energy right here in the U.S. I joined the “American Agenda” on Newsmax to discuss this.

Check out my “The Dom Giordano Program” interview on TalkRadio WPHT. I discussed House Republicans' plan to cut nearly $1 trillion in wasteful government spending while delivering better services, the importance of securing the border and strengthening national security, and how the incoming Trump Administration is committed to restoring fiscal responsibility and advancing the America First Agenda. With a unified Republican Congress and President Trump’s leadership, we will deliver real results for the American people. Click here <[link removed]> or below to listen.

Check out my “Bob Cordaro Show” interview on WILK Newsradio. We discussed my legislative priorities for the 119th Congress, including my new role as Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee on the Financial Services Committee. We also covered the U.S. Steel–Nippon Steel deal. Click here <[link removed]> or below to listen.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Joe Biden gave his exit interview <[link removed]> this week with USA Today, and it was part delusional, part fabrication, and all very incoherent. Unfortunately, that is how you could sum up his entire term in office. Thankfully, we are just days away from swearing in President Trump and restoring dignity to the Oval Office.
It was part delusion, part fabrication — and all incoherent.
Let's set the record straight:
CLAIM: "That's why I worked so damn hard to get Japan and the Quad worked out with India, Japan, Australia, the United States."
FACT: The Quad was re-established <[link removed]> in 2017 under President Trump.
CLAIM: "The interest rate was 9% when we came into office in the beginning. It was down to 2.34% now. So I would argue that inflation was worldwide."
FACT: Biden is talking about inflation, not interest rates, but he's still wrong — and it's a lie he has repeatedly told <[link removed]>. Inflation was 1.4% <[link removed]> when Biden took office.
CLAIM: "I diminished the direct conflict with major adversaries."
FACT: Biden's disastrous foreign policy led to escalated conflict and instability around the world — and ushering in the conditions for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the October 7th attack on Israel, and an unprecedented <[link removed]> number of U.S. embassy evacuations worldwide. It wouldn't have happened under Trump.
CLAIM: "We increased employment by 16 million people."
FACT: The majority of the jobs Biden "created" were jobs from President Trump's first term that were recovered <[link removed].> from the pandemic. After revisions, Biden has only created about 6.1 million jobs.
CLAIM: "I knew how much inflation was affecting their lives..."
FACT: Biden repeatedly, and falsely, insisted <[link removed]> inflation was "transitory" — until it was far too late. Meanwhile, economists (including a former Obama-Biden treasury secretary) blame the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan as inflation's "original sin." <[link removed]>
CLAIM: "I think yes, based on the polling that [I would have won the election]."
FACT: That isn't even close <[link removed]> to what the polling said, which showed Biden was on track to lose in an historic landslide.
CLAIM: "I think if he moves on the tax cuts of $5 trillion, I think if he moves on dealing with increasing tariffs across the board, all they are is increasing cost of consumers in America."
FACT: If President Trump's successful tax cuts are not re-authorized, 207 million American taxpayers will see an average tax hike of 22% <[link removed]> — while President Trump's tariffs will protect the American worker <[link removed]>.
CLAIM: "Wages are up."
FACT: Real average weekly earnings are down 3% since Biden took office.
CLAIM: "It has attracted over 11, excuse me, a trillion dollars in private sector investment."
FACT: It's not $1 trillion <[link removed]> — and those aren't actual investments <[link removed]>.
CLAIM: "Yet the president comes along...and says, 'It's clear. It's an invasion from the South. All these immigrants are causing all this problem.'"
FACT: An unprecedented number of terrorists and criminals have entered the country through Biden's open border as the terrorists worldwide have become increasingly emboldened <[link removed]> following Biden's disastrous foreign policy.
CLAIM: "I work like hell."
FACT: Biden has taken more vacation than any president in modern history, spending nearly 40% of his entire presidency on vacation.
Thankfully, President Donald J. Trump's inauguration is just a few days away. We have much work to do, but we are ready to Make America Great Again.
I had a great afternoon at the 2025 Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg! Thank you to Mike Firestine for showing me around and giving me a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition.
This week-long tradition highlights the importance of our farmers and the agricultural community in Pennsylvania. They work hard to keep food on our tables, and we’re grateful for all they do. In Washington, I’ll continue to support policies that reduce regulatory burdens, lower taxes and support our PA farmers and producers.
I enjoyed getting in on the action and taking the reins at the PA Farm Show’s Celebrity Feed Scurry alongside leaders from across the state! Celebrating Pennsylvania’s hardworking agricultural community through a bit of friendly competition is always a highlight. Click here or below to watch.
While at the Pennsylvania Farm Show, I joined WHP-21 CBS News to discuss the critical role of agriculture in Pennsylvania. From lowering food costs to supporting our farmers through better energy policies and regulatory reforms, we’re focused on strengthening our economy and ensuring families have access to affordable, quality food.
The PA Farm Show is always a great reminder of how hard our farmers work to feed the nation. In Congress, I’ll continue to advocate for solutions that benefit our great Pennsylvania farmers. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

Thursday was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day—a time to recognize the men and women in uniform who bravely work to protect our communities and uphold the law.
As the son of a former police officer, I want to personally thank those in the line of duty for their service and dedication to keeping the 9th District safe.
I will always Back the Blue.
On Wednesday, Shelley and I attended a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda to pay tribute to the late President Jimmy Carter. A man of character, President Carter served our nation as a naval officer, Governor, and 39th President. His commitment to public service leaves a lasting legacy, and our thoughts remain with the Carter family as we remember a life well lived.
May God continue to bless our nation. I look forward to seeing you soon,
Dan Meuser
