In what is clearly the most closely watched congressional race tonight in Philly, I would like to thank the Democratic voters of #PA2 for renominating me. I never take it for granted. I look forward to doing all I can to build a big Democratic House majority in Nov. 🌊

The idea that even one violent criminal who attacked our democracy would get a dime of taxpayer money is sickening. If anyone should be compensated, it should be the police who were savagely attacked on January 6th. Trump is only in it for himself and his allies.

The White House ballroom perfectly sums up what Trump really cares about. While Americans are paying more for gas and millions are losing their health care, Trump can only think of his vanity ballroom.

Gas prices are up. Grocery bills are up. Health care costs are up. And Republicans want to spend $1 billion of your tax dollars on a vanity ballroom for Donald Trump.

Instead of keeping his promise to lower costs, President Trump is jacking up prices on everything from health care to gas. Now, he wants a budget that sends another $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol while doing nothing to lower costs. The American people deserve better.

Today President Trump is announcing his annual budget plan, which makes the American people pay for his Iran War by cutting billions from health care, education, housing and more. Here is my official response: DEAD. ON. ARRIVAL.

This morning, I have one question — where is Trump's Budget Director Russell Vought? The architect of Project 2025 has gone completely missing in front of the Budget Committee, probably because he can't defend the administration's disastrous, unpopular economic record.

I'm demanding to know just how much money Trump's war in Iran will cost Americans. Working families don't want to spend billions on an unnecessary war — they want lower costs and health care.

President Trump may have been telling the truth when he said he’d never heard the word “affordability” until a few months ago. If you’re a billionaire who’s been handed everything, you don’t have to think about what things cost.

The Department of Homeland Security is supposed to keep Americans safe. Instead, Americans are being executed in the streets. We're calling on Senators Fetterman and McCormick to vote against any DHS funding until there are meaningful reforms and real accountability.

Fetterman is still the only Democratic senator not to make a statement on Pretti’s killing. How bad is this? Even our state’s Republican senator has released a statement on it. Fetterman continues to be an embarrassment to PA.

Never forget how all of this happened: Last summer, Trump and Republicans in Congress cut health care by $900 billion so they could TRIPLE the ICE budget. Now thousands of ICE agents are on the streets of Minnesota. And you lose your health care.

Censoring America's history of slavery is a betrayal of our nation's principles. Living up to the ideals America was founded on demands being honest about our history — the good and the bad. My full statement on Trump's censorship at Independence Hall:
Boyle Statement on Trump
Administration Removing Slavery
Exhibits at Independence
National Historical Park
This is absolutely unacceptable. I am proud of our country and the ideals on which it was founded, and telling the full truth about our history, both the good and the bad, is essential to preserving those ideals.
With the National Park Service facing budget cuts as our nation prepares for its 250th anniversary, this administration should be strengthening these historic sites, not censoring them to erase the past.
Philadelphia and the entire country deserve an honest accounting of our history, and this effort to hide it is wrong.

The independence of the Federal Reserve might sound wonky — but it's critically important to our economy's health. Trump must stop pressuring the Fed, or he risks raising costs even higher.

For nearly every person I speak to, their top concern is health care. They know that while Republicans gave billionaires more tax breaks for Christmas, millions of working Americans are getting their premiums raised, or are losing their coverage entirely.

1. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee put all American Jews in danger with his decision to meet with convicted spy and traitor Jonathan Pollard. If you track Neo-Nazis as I do for hours every single day, you know this meeting inflamed them and further radicalized them into Jew hatred.

Republicans in Congress, including the so-called moderates, voted to cut health care for millions of Americans this summer. Now, they have a new scheme. Instead of fixing the crisis they created, their new bill would actually kick even more Americans off their health care.

The president was in Pennsylvania the other night raving about how we should be getting our kids less for Christmas. He's completely out of touch. It's not a radical opinion that Americans should be able to afford their necessities and afford gifts for their loved ones.

Trump called the cost-of-living crisis a "con," but now he's in Pennsylvania claiming he's lowering costs. His empty promises are the real con — and Pennsylvanians aren't buying it. This is the same guy raising prices with his tariff taxes and taking health care from Americans.

Trump said he'd lower costs "on day one." Well, here we are a year later, and prices have only gone up. Instead of making life easier, Trump is imposing a national sales tax on Americans through his tariffs. His promises were nothing but a con job.
