NEWS: The nonpartisan @gao.gov just confirmed that Trump is breaking the law. He isn't a king — he can't cancel programs created by law and spend your tax dollars on whatever he wants. Congress must pass my Congressional Power of the Purse Act to stop his illegal power grabs.

President Trump would have you think he's a king — that he can cancel federal programs established by law and instead spend your taxes on whatever he wants. My Congressional Power of the Purse Act would stop Trump's power grabs and hold him accountable.

We haven't seen such low approval for a president on the economy since the Great Recession in 2008. But it's not a mystery why — under Trump the cost of basic needs are rising out of control, and homeownership is out of reach for too many Americans.

The risks of a firefighter's job stay with them, even years after their career. I'm announcing new legislation to help cover the costs of preventive health and wellness for firefighters and EMS departments. They have our backs, and I'll always have theirs.

American families are paying so much more for basic essentials than when Trump took office. Instead of helping, he has made things worse by waging war in Iran and imposing costly new tariffs. He only has himself and his failed policies to blame.

Late on a Friday night, Trump is attempting to illegally withhold funds that were already approved by Congress. I won't stand by while he uses these back-door maneuvers to cut funding for American families. Congress must pass my bill that would put an end to his power grabs.

When you see your health care premiums rise, you can thank Republicans in Washington. Over the last year and a half, they have decided they'd rather enrich billionaires and wage war in Iran than lower your costs. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Your health insurance bills are about to go up
The premium increases stem in part from rising healthcare costs, including higher prices for medical care and expensive prescription drugs.

As the top Dem on @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, the next vote I'll take on the debt ceiling is to put an end to its dysfunction once and for all. My commonsense reform has bipartisan support. Even President Trump agrees reforms are needed to avoid economic catastrophe. time.com/article/2026...

If Republicans actually cared about waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start by asking the President why he’s enriched himself and his family off the presidency. Instead, they’d rather rip health care away from Americans while Trump continues to grift.

The Federal Reserve just raised interest rates because Donald Trump's tariff taxes and Iran war have sent inflation soaring. It's been over two years since Trump promised to lower costs on "Day One." Instead, he's done the exact opposite.

BREAKING: I requested that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office investigate the costs of Trump's Iran war. They just found that this war has cost $40 billion and is raising your costs. Republicans in Washington are wasting money on another war while doing nothing to make your life easier.

America’s 250th was a historic success here in Philadelphia. I’m looking ahead to the next major milestone: the 250th anniversary of the Constitution. I’m announcing legislation to plan for this celebration — and ensure we highlight Philly’s unique place in American history.

I'm fighting back against Donald Trump's attacks on your right to vote. I stood with local election leaders and postal workers to demand that Trump stop trying to make it harder for American citizens to exercise their right to vote.

I was raised in a union household. Hardworking people, who put in an honest day's work to support their families, are who built this country. I'll never stop fighting to make sure working people have the fair pay and respect they deserve. Happy Labor Day!

Costs are rising everywhere, and if you're a parent like me, you're probably still recovering from sticker shock after buying school supplies. I'm introducing the Back-to-School Supplies Affordability Act to bring some relief for students, teachers, and parents.
Boyle, Bynum Introduce Back-to-School Supplies
Affordability Act
Like families across the country, my wife and I felt the sticker shock when we went back-to-school shopping this year.
Families are already stretching every dollar, and they shouldn't be forced to pay even more for basic school supplies because of President Trump's reckless tariff taxes.
I'm proud to help lead this bill to eliminate tariffs on back-to-school essentials and give parents, teachers, and students some much-needed relief.

Republicans in Washington love to complain about the national debt — and then add trillions in debt with tax breaks for billionaires. As the lead Democrat on @housebudgetdems.bsky.social etDems, I'm sounding the alarm that Washington needs to take this issue seriously.

Trump's war in Iran has gas prices over $4 a gallon. On top of that, his tariff taxes are driving prices even higher. No matter how you cut it, we're all paying for Trump's idiotic policies.

Republicans used their power in Congress to cut health care for millions of Americans — the worst of which will hit Medicaid this winter. As Ranking Member of the Budget Committee, I'm hellbent on lowering costs and restoring health care for working people.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
When Republicans made the largest health care cuts in American history last year, I warned that costs would go up for nearly every American. Now health care costs are spiking, but Republicans don't care. They only wanted tax breaks for billionaires.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Trump promised to lower the price of everything from gas to groceries to housing. Anyone who has filled their tank, bought food, or paid rent in the last year knows that was all a lie. All Trump really cares about are his grifts and his grudges.

Voting by mail is safe and secure — Trump is only trying to sabotage it because he lost an election 6 years ago. Don't take my word for it. Trump voted for himself by mail in Florida. I'll keep fighting to stop Trump's illegal power grab.

Trump and Republicans in Washington promised they'd take on inflation and bring down the debt. They've been in charge for a year and a half, so what have they done? They've added trillions to the debt and sent costs even higher. Americans are right to be fed up.

President Trump is running up the taxpayers' bill on his vanity ballroom project, & his hand-picked justices on the Supreme Court have decided to let him continue. Americans are struggling to make ends meet, but all he cares about is a golden ballroom at the White House. thehill.com/regulation/c...

For 62 years, SNAP has helped families put food on the table. Last year, Republicans in Washington passed the largest cuts to SNAP in American history. Over 1 million children have lost access so far. Especially as costs keep rising, I'll keep fighting to defend this lifeline.

It has now been six months since Trump started his Iran war. This disastrous war has taken the lives of our brave service members and wasted taxpayer dollars, all while driving up costs for families. Americans are paying for another forever war, and Trump clearly doesn't care.

While our economy struggles and Americans are being crushed by rising costs, what is Trump doing? Getting us into the dumbest trade war in American history. Tariffs are taxes, and they raise prices on many goods that Americans rely on.

Anyone who has been to the grocery store lately knows Trump has been a failure on the economy. He's had over a year and a half to bring down costs but has only managed to make things worse with his reckless war in Iran and his tariff taxes.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Republicans in Washington could bring prices down right now by ending Trump’s tariff taxes. While they refuse to act, I'm stepping up. My new bill would lower costs by removing tariffs on school supplies. We should all be able to agree on supporting our kids and teachers.

Ever since Trump's "Liberation Day," his tariff taxes have made life even more expensive in America. Trump's new trade war with Canada is going to make things even worse. Families need a president focused on lowering costs, not sending them even higher.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Trump and Republicans in Washington think they can distract from their poor economy with controversy and division. Americans aren't falling for it, and I'm laser focused on getting costs down.

Whenever there's a Republican in the White House, the debt magically isn't a problem for the GOP. The truth is, Secretary Bessent here will never truly care about the debt, because he and his billionaire friends are enjoying historic tax breaks on the American taxpayer's dime.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Under Trump, our debt just hit a new record. Republicans in Washington have added trillions to the debt and raised costs for American families — all so billionaires could get another tax break. They only care about "fiscal responsibility" when it's time to cut your health care.

Parents across Pennsylvania are feeling sticker shock after shopping for back-to-school supplies. It happened to me just this weekend. I'm introducing new legislation that brings down prices by exempting school supplies from Trump's tariff taxes.

Donald Trump has made a career out of lying, but he can't con his way out of the bad economy he caused. Prices are up almost everywhere, and everyone knows it's because of Trump's disastrous policies.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
The best way to bring costs down quickly is for Congress to finally assert its authority and stand up to Trump's chaos. Putting an end to his reckless war in Iran and his tariff taxes would bring much-needed relief to American families.

Social Security is the greatest anti-poverty program in American history. While Republicans in Washington look to cut it, I'm fighting back. My Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act protects hard-earned benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share.

While Trump raises your prices with his tariff taxes and Iran war, he is using hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to fund his vanity ballroom. It's insulting to every American who worked hard for their money — and I'll continue fighting to stop this theft.

Anyone who has gone to the grocery store or filled up their car lately can tell you that affordability isn't a "hoax" like President Trump says. The reality is Trump's disastrous tariff taxes and his war with Iran are making life in America too expensive.

Rep. Brendan Boyle @congressmanboyle.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Trump has had over a year to lower costs like he promised, but he's only managed to make everything more expensive. The reality is, this billionaire president and his billionaire cabinet couldn’t care less about regular Americans.

Week after week, we learn new ways that Trump's economy is failing working Americans. But Trump is calling it the "greatest economy we've ever had." He couldn't be more out of touch.

The average family in Pennsylvania has paid $3,900 more for basic needs under Donald Trump. If that's the "greatest economy ever," I sure as hell don't want to know what a "bad" economy would look like.
