Had a great meeting today at BNY’s Pittsburgh office with President Mike Keslar and his team to learn more about their AI cybersecurity facilities and their commitment to growing Pennsylvania’s skilled workforce. Pennsylvania is home to BNY’s AI Research Hub, where they’ve committed $10 million over five years to build an AI Lab in conjunction with CMU. This partnership represents BNY’s dedication to developing and retaining Pennsylvania’s best and brightest. Thank you, Mike Keslar, Kelly McElhaney, Rachel Lewis, Alex Lavi, Dan Alwine, and everyone at @BNYglobal for taking the time to meet.

Today, I joined National Report on @NEWSMAX to discuss Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s visit to Pennsylvania to announce a $71.5 million investment in modernizing our electric grid. This investment will help increase grid capacity, strengthen efficiency, and fuel Pennsylvania’s bright future. By bringing together federal resources and private investment, we can deliver more reliable and affordable energy for Pennsylvania families and businesses for decades to come. Watch my full interview for an update on energy, President Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and more 🔻🔻

I’ll be joining National Report at 11:35 AM for an update on the biggest developments in Washington and Pennsylvania. Make sure to tune in to @NEWSMAX.

I’ll be joining the Bob Cordaro Show today at 11:05 AM to discuss Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s visit to Pennsylvania, our efforts in Congress to fight taxpayer fraud, and more. Make sure to tune in to WILK: audacy.com/stations/wilknews…

Today, Energy @SecretaryWright joined @RepMackenzie, @SenatorJColeman, and I in Pennsylvania for a roundtable discussion on rising electricity demand, grid reliability, customer affordability, and what Pennsylvania needs to support economic development. After our discussion with local stakeholders, the Secretary announced a $71.5 million investment to modernize Northeast Pennsylvania’s electric grid. This investment will strengthen reliability and increase deliverable power from roughly 1,600 megawatts to 4,650. Since day one, President Trump and Secretary Wright have led the effort to unleash domestic energy production and modernize America’s electric grid to provide abundant and affordable electricity to Pennsylvania families and businesses. Thank you to Vince Sorgi, Christine Martin, and everyone at @PPLCorp for hosting us and for their continued work delivering much needed power to Pennsylvanians.

President @realDonaldTrump is the first leader in decades to lower prices for your prescription medication. Not just curb rising costs, but actually lower drug costs for millions of Americans. Through Most Favored Nation drug pricing, the Administration will save Americans an estimated $600 billion over the next decade. My Most Favored Patient Act would codify this policy and establish a permanent framework to enforce future cost-saving arrangements.

🚨The @FCC has created user-friendly guides to help Americans block scam calls. These step-by-step guides can help users access this feature on iPhone, Android, and major wireless carriers. Follow the guides in the images below or refer to the FCC’s online guide to protect yourself and your assets: fcc.gov/blockit I have been leading the effort to crack down on these schemes in Congress by educating consumers, improving coordination between government, law enforcement and telecom companies while working to increase penalties for the perpetrators. These calls are more than a hindrance, they cost Americans billions of dollars a year. These resources are an important step to protect yourself and your family from fraud and scams.

I had an engaging conversation today with members of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce at their legislative breakfast. I had the opportunity to discuss our work in Congress to support entrepreneurs and small businesses, including provisions in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act that permanently extend the Section 199A Small Business Deduction, expensing for domestic R&D research, and 100% bonus depreciation. Much of our discussion focused on our work to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, as well as trade, energy, and affordability for families and businesses. We also discussed the importance of the Williamsport Regional Airport and our efforts to renew commercial flight service to the region. I’d like to thank Chamber Board Chair Jay Alexander and CEO Jason Fink for hosting an outstanding event, and State Representative Hamm and County Commissioners Metzger, Sortman, and Mussina for joining and adding their voices to the conversation.

I joined @FoxNews today to discuss the fundamental difference between the Republican agenda and the policies of the Democrat socialists. Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration have worked and will continue to work to lower prescription drug costs through Most Favored Nation pricing, lower energy costs, expand responsible American energy production, secure the border, and stop billions in fraud against American taxpayers. Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting our efforts to combat fraud and embracing policies like open borders and boys in girls' sports. One thing is certain, this is not your father’s Democrat Party. Watch my appearance here:

I’ll be joining @FoxNews at 12:15 PM to discuss legislation passed this week on Capitol Hill and what’s ahead. Make sure to tune in.

I’ll be joining The Volpe Report at 10:30 AM for an update on my work in Washington and around Pennsylvania. Make sure to tune in.

Tune in to the @ReportVolpe tomorrow at 10:30 AM where Chuck and I discuss the latest developments in Washington and Pennsylvania.

Today, President @realDonaldTrump, @SecKennedy, and @DrOzCMS announced Most Favored Nation drug pricing for Medicaid beneficiaries in all 50 states. This move will require drug manufacturers to offer their products at the same low price offered in other nations to Medicaid patients nationwide, saving Medicaid a total of $64.3 billion over the next decade. Read my full statement:

It was a pleasure to join the Northeast Pennsylvania Manufacturers & Employers Association for their Congressional Luncheon today. I appreciated the opportunity to speak directly with our region’s manufacturers and employers about some of the most pressing issues facing their industries and the work we’re doing in Washington to help them compete, grow, and create good-paying jobs here in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was also great to be joined by State Representatives Joanne Stehr, Tim Twardzik, and Jamie Barton, along with Commissioners Larry Padora and Boots Hetherington. We had a productive discussion on the federal issues that matter most to our businesses and employees, including pharmaceutical pricing, workforce challenges, energy costs, regulations, and President Trump’s efforts to strengthen American manufacturing. Our manufacturers and employers are a critical part of our regional economy, and I’ll continue working to ensure they have the tools and opportunities they need to invest, innovate, grow, and succeed. A big thank you to PMA President and CEO David Taylor, NEPA MAEA President Darlene Robbins, NEPA MAEA Chairman Luke Hoak, Mike Narcavage with PPL Electric Utilities, and everyone who helped put together another excellent luncheon.

This week, the House passed the Ratepayer Protection Act, which codifies President Trump’s mandate that data centers commit to providing their own power. The legislation passed the House overwhelmingly. Unfortunately, the bill stalled in the Senate when one Democrat objected to its passage. Watch my interview on @NEWSMAX where we discussed the Ratepayer Protection Act, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent Financial Services Committee hearing, and his upcoming talks with Chinese officials on exchange rate manipulation and intellectual property theft.

As scammers get more sophisticated, we all need to take steps to protect ourselves. Caller ID is not always reliable because scammers can change their phone number to make their requests seem legitimate. If a caller pressures you to act immediately, hang up, ignore any links they send, and call the legitimate company using the number on the back of your bank card or a trusted app. Watch this report on @foxandfriends for more information on how to protect yourself and your assets.

I’ll be joining Wake Up America at 8 AM to discuss Secretary Bessent’s recent testimony before the House Financial Services Committee and the Fed’s FOMC meeting this week. Make sure to tune in to @NEWSMAX.

"Thank God the President has implemented the policies to increase coal production here in the U.S.," says National Energy Dominance Council Director @jarrodagen. "The President has put forth the policies to produce more and export more coal. That is great for America."

Where you live should not determine the quality of healthcare that you can get or how long you live. But for too long, getting the right care for rural Pennsylvanians meant traveling long distances, waiting too long to see a specialist, or going without care altogether. Thanks to President Trump and the Working Families Tax Cut Act’s Rural Health Transformation Program, Pennsylvania is receiving $193 million to invest in new ways to bring better care closer to home. I joined Dr. Oz to discuss the local impact of the GOP’s Rural Healthcare Transformation Fund, President Trump’s Most Favored Nation drug pricing policy which has lowered the prices of pharmaceutical drugs in the U.S., and our joint efforts to combat taxpayer fraud in healthcare programs. Along with a small group of House and Senate members, I’ve joined Vice President JD Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, to root out fraud, protect taxpayer dollars, and ensure these programs serve the Americans who truly need them. As Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I’ve also made combating fraud and scams a top priority. We’ve held roundtables, published public service announcements, and engaged directly with federal agencies, law enforcement, financial institutions, telecom companies, and social media platforms to advance solutions to protect Americans from scams and financial fraud.
