Dear Friend,

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update on Father's Day. 

Before we begin with this update, Shelley and I, my family, and I’m sure all Americans, are shocked and terribly saddened by the tragic, ruthless, cold-blooded shooting of innocent public servants in Minnesota. The incendiary rhetoric, hate, and violence must stop. My family mourns and prays for the victims and families of this horrific act. 

Yesterday, I joined President Donald J. Trump to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.

For 250 years, the Army has defended freedom, taken down dictators, defeated the Nazis, and protected the American people—spreading peace, democracy, and American strength across the world.



Seeing our military’s history and technology on full display is a powerful reminder of all we must be proud of. This was a celebration of patriotism, service, and <>the greatest fighting force the world has ever known.











Before the celebration, we attended a reception at the White House. (Pictured below with Donald Trump Jr.)

Earlier in the day, I conducted an interview on NewsNation. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

The “No Kings” protests are being framed as anti-Trump, but they are, in truth, anti-American. These protests are deliberately timed to counter a day when we celebrate our nation’s Flag and honor the creation of the U.S. Army—a force that has defended freedom at home and worldwide. That alone speaks volumes.

Let’s be clear about what this movement represents: an agenda rooted in a vision of big government, federal control, and contempt for the values that built this country. They oppose school choice. They sneer at capitalism and free markets. They want more spending, more federal employees, and more IRS agents—80,000 of them. Their party pushed H.R. 1, a federal takeover of our elections. They treat the Constitution not as the rulebook that created the greatest nation on Earth, but as a document they can alter when it suits them.

The Left believes in the government, while we believe in the people. While they push central control, we champion limited government and individual freedom.

As we celebrate the birth of the United States Army—an institution that secured liberty for our country, for Europe, and for our allies—let’s also reject this cynical attempt to undermine America’s founding values. The Declaration of Independence was the “why.” The Constitution is the “how.” And we intend to defend both.

I joined "Varney & Co." on Fox Business to discuss. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

The riots in Los Angeles are dangerous. Thirty-seven hours before the National Guard arrived in Los Angeles, cars were already burning, ICE agents and LAPD officers were being assaulted, and federal buildings were being vandalized. Despite the escalating violence, Governor Gavin Newsom failed to act. Law enforcement was overwhelmed, and the situation grew more dangerous by the hour.

President Donald J. Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard was necessary to protect federal personnel and property, and to restore order when state leaders would not. I joined “Newsline” on Newsmax to discuss further. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

I was happy to join EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to announce the proposed revision of two Biden-era energy regulations, as part of the Powering the Great American Comeback initiative. This five-pillar plan refocuses the EPA on air and water quality, energy security, permitting reform, innovation, and global competitiveness.

This action reflects a balanced, responsible approach to deregulation that supports American energy production, protects the environment, and delivers the certainty our producers need after years of burdensome Biden-era rules that pushed investment overseas and jeopardized our path to energy dominance.

As Administrator Zeldin emphasized, even if finalized, no power plant will be allowed to emit more than it does today or in recent years. The more energy we produce here at home, the better for the planet—because no nation produces energy more responsibly or with lower emissions than the United States.



During my interview on "Varney & Co.," we discussed the proposed revisions.

As I said on air, we can protect the environment and grow the economy. No country has reduced emissions more than the United States, and the more energy we produce here at home, the cleaner the world gets.

In President Trump’s first term, we had pro-growth policies, a booming economy, and rising revenues. But the Biden Administration’s unchecked spending doubled the deficit and increased the debt service from $400 billion in 2019 to nearly $1 trillion last year.

Now, the White House and Congress are taking action to restore fiscal accountability and rein in federal agencies that irresponsibly spend American tax dollars.

I spoke on the House floor urging my colleagues to pass the recissions package to codify President Trump’s spending reductions into law. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

Israel was right to defend itself by launching strategic attacks on Iran's nuclear capabilities. The United States must stand united with Israel as it combats these outside forces who seek to wipe it off the map. I believe it's telling that Israel is targeting nuclear and military installations, while Iran targets civilians. I will always stand 100% behind Israel and its citizens.



I also appeared on "The Volpe Report" with our good friend, Chuck Volpe. This week, I was pleased to be joined by the House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Congressman Rob Bresnahan. Click here <[link removed]> or below to watch.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: America is beating inflation as President Donald J. Trump leads the country into the new Golden Age with lower costs, higher pay, and economic opportunity for all.

Here’s what you need to know from the latest Consumer Price Index:

- In May, inflation came in lighter than expected <[link removed]> for yet another month. - Since President Trump took office, inflation has come in below economists’ expectations every single month.


- Core inflation held steady <[link removed]> and remains at the lowest level since March 2021. - Under President Trump, core inflation has tracked at just 2.0% on an annual basis — levels not seen since the first Trump Administration, when prices were low and stable.


- Wage growth remains strong under President Trump. - In May, real wages for production and nonsupervisory workers saw the highest monthly increase in nearly a year — and have risen each month since President Trump took office, up nearly 2% over last year.
- The average private sector worker is on track to see their real earnings increase by around $1,200, adjusted for inflation.


- Prices for everyday Americans continue to fall. - Energy prices fell by 1.0% over the last month — down 3.5% over the past year.
- Gasoline prices have fallen each month since President Trump took office, down 2.6% over the past month and down 12% over the past year.
- Prices in key areas — such as meats, poultry, eggs, airfares, used and new cars, and apparel — all went down over the past month.



Here’s what they’re saying:

- CNN’s Matt Egan <[link removed]>: “We got ANOTHER month of positive inflation news. Despite these historic tariffs, the latest numbers do show that inflation remained relatively tame in May … This was better than expected … We did see a drop in energy prices. In particular, gas prices were low.”
- CNBC’s Mike Santoli <[link removed]>: “There’s no way to look at these numbers and say they’re not welcome news.”
- CNBC’s Steve Liesman <[link removed]>: “Not only did we get a decline in inflation expectations earlier this week from the important New York Fed report … I do not see broader impacts on inflation from the tariffs.”
- CNBC’s Rick Santelli <[link removed]>: “Inflation certainly looks like it is cooling.”
- Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo <[link removed]>: “That is much better than expected.”
- Commentator Adam Johnson <[link removed]>: “Now we’re talking about numbers that are down in the low twos — under 2.5% — and we’re seeing that now for three months in a row, so this is wonderful news.”

On Tuesday morning, I spoke before the Financial Services Committee Republicans to support my bill, the ACCESS Act of 2025. My bill keeps capital and future wealth in our local communities, reduces red tape for the smallest of entrepreneurs, and future-proofs regulation crowdfunding without sacrificing a single investor safeguard. Click here or below to watch.



The Financial Services Committee Republicans passed my ACCESS Act of 2025 with a unanimous 51-0 vote. The bill cuts red tape for entrepreneurs looking to crowdfund by raising the financial review threshold from $100,000 to $250,000, so startups can spend less time on paperwork and more time building their businesses. From neighborhood breweries to tech startups, this bill helps Main Street access the capital they need to grow. Click here <[link removed]> or below to read more.



On Monday, I was pleased to be able to attend a significant economic development announcement in Berwick, where Amazon confirmed a major investment that’s been in the works for more than three and a half years. In the past year, I've visited the site four times to support this important project for data centers, meeting with Amazon and local officials. I’m happy to see this significant investment being made in our region. Always great to be with our U.S. Senator Dave McCormick.



On Tuesday, I met with the Board of Directors of the Consumer Bankers Association to discuss key financial issues facing American consumers and small businesses.

We covered CFPB reform and ways to ensure financial regulations don’t stifle innovation or access to capital. I appreciated hearing directly from leaders at Citizens Bank, Truist, Synchrony, U.S. Bank, Berkshire Bank, and CBA CEO Lindsey Johnson.

I’ll continue working to reduce regulations, advance common-sense reforms to the CFPB, and advocate for pro-growth policies that strengthen our economy and most importantly, protect consumers.



Later, ahead of the Congressional Baseball Game the following day, I want to thank the manager for hosting a reception celebrating America’s pastime.

Since 1909, the Congressional Baseball Game has brought Republicans and Democrats together in a bipartisan tradition that supports a higher cause.

This event raises funds for scholarships and outstanding organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, Washington Nationals Philanthropies, and the Capitol Police Memorial Fund, created in memory of the brave officers who responded to the 2017 practice shooting.

Thank you, Chairman Williams, for your efforts to keep this great tradition going—on and off the field.



I met with Americans for Prosperity Pennsylvania on Wednesday to discuss the BBB.

This legislation permanently establishes the 23% small business deduction (Section 199A), restores immediate R&D expensing, and restores 100% bonus depreciation—all critical for small businesses, manufacturers, and job creators.

These are pro-growth, pro-investment, pro-America tax reforms—and I appreciate AFP-PA’s strong support of the bill.



On Thursday, we recognized Women Veterans Day. We commemorate the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, signed into law on this day in 1948, which allowed women to serve as permanent, regular members of our Armed Forces.

We honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of our women veterans. Your strength and dedication have contributed greatly to the U.S. Armed Forces.



I met with Shannon Kellogg from Amazon Web Services to discuss Amazon’s major investment in our region, including AI data centers in Luzerne County.

Over the past year, I’ve visited the site four times, meeting with Amazon, Talen Energy, and local officials as the project developed. In today’s meeting, we focused on job growth, trade policy, community impact, and how AWS’s partnership with Talen will power the site with clean nuclear energy.

This is an important investment for our region and for the future of AI.



This week, I met with leadership from Alterra Energy to discuss their planned $300 million investment in a new advanced plastics recycling facility in Sugarloaf Township, Luzerne County.

The project will create 100 new high-quality jobs and hundreds more in construction. Alterra’s innovative chemical recycling technology will help convert hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable materials—supporting both economic growth and environmental sustainability.



On Thursday, Shelley and I enjoyed attending the White House Congressional Picnic with President Trump. It was a great opportunity to spend time with friends and colleagues, including Cabinet members and senior administration officials who are focused on delivering real results for the American people.

Grateful to the President and First Family for hosting a wonderful evening on the South Lawn.



On Saturday, we marked three important events... Flag Day and the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Army.

On Flag Day, we honor Old Glory, a symbol of our nation’s unity, freedom, and sacrifice—created right here in Pennsylvania.

Let’s proudly wave the Stars and Stripes, remembering the heroes who defended it and the values it represents.





As we discussed earlier, we also marked the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. Our soldiers are among the best in the world and have defended America’s freedom for centuries.

Pictured are soldiers from the Fort Indiantown Gap Army National Guard Training Center, located in Lebanon County.

Join me in saluting our Army heroes!



Lastly, we commemorated President Trump's birthday. Shelley and I were fortunate enough to celebrate with the President at the White House.



Last but certainly not least, I wish everyone a Happy Father's Day. I especially want to wish my father, Stan, a great day and thank him for all the love, support, and lessons he has given me throughout my life.

My wife, Shelley, and I feel incredibly blessed to be so close to our three children. We are so proud of each of them and love them very much. Being their father is the best gift I have ever received. I wish all the dads across the 9th Congressional District a Happy Father’s Day.

(Pictured below are my three children, Jacqueline, Caroline, and Danny)



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



Dan Meuser
