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.

“Trump’s tariff taxes and disastrous Iran war are raising costs, slowing growth, and hurting the job market." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's jobs report:

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.

Trump: "I saw a poll today on television that says, 'Donald Strump's polls on the economy aren't good.' The economy is the greatest economy we've ever had by far! They are fake polls."

There is nothing partisan about funding health research, but the Trump administration is trying to stop it. I'm fighting back. These grants help our most vulnerable and bring good-paying jobs to Philadelphia. That's exactly what the federal government should be doing.

Americans are right to be fed up with Trump's economy. Prices are out of control, and taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a war in Iran and tax breaks for billionaires. Republicans in Washington have enabled this disaster every step of the way.

Every day there is a new headline about how Trump and Republicans in Washington are making life more expensive for Americans. They can always find the money to pass tax giveaways for billionaires, but never to give the American people health care.

Republicans refused to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits and cut health care for millions of Americans — all so billionaires could get more tax giveaways. Now, ERs are filling up, Americans are deferring care, and our hospitals are being strained. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...

After Obamacare Cuts, Hospitals Are Treating More Uninsured Patients

More people who lost coverage after congressional Republicans ended enhanced federal subsidies are now seeking care in emergency rooms and unable to pay bills.

61 years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Act, ensuring millions of Americans could live and retire without fear of medical expenses destroying the life they built. We will never stop fighting to keep that promise.

Rep. Brendan Boyle@congressmanboyle.bsky.social · last wk.

For over half a century, Medicare and Medicaid have ensured that Americans can live with dignity and get the care they need. While some in Washington want to take that dignity away, I will keep leading the fight to protect health care for every American.

Americans continue to pay the price for Trump's disastrous Iran war. Prices are too high and now our economic growth is slowing. Donald Trump continues to ignore the warning signs - because he simply doesn't care if he hurts working families. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...

U.S. GDP Growth Slowed in Second Quarter of 2026

Gross domestic product expanded at a 1.5 percent annual rate over the past three months, as war in the Middle East shook energy prices and supply chains.

President Trump has taken health care from millions of Americans and jacked up prices with his failed war in Iran and tariff taxes. His record on the economy has been an abject failure. @meidastouch.com

Trump is hell-bent on raising your prices. His new tariffs are a nationwide sales tax that will only serve to make life harder for Americans just trying to make ends meet.

Breaking: The U.S. will impose tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on its major trading partners in a new set of duties designed to withstand legal scrutiny. wsj.visitlink.me/dDswge

"These new tariffs are more of the same: a nationwide sales tax that will make life even harder for families already struggling under the costs of Trump's reckless war in Iran." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on Trump's new tariff taxes:

President Trump is cartoonishly out of touch with Americans. Don't just take my word for it. Trump literally said he "loves the inflation" and "I don't think about Americans' financial situation."

If you ask anyone what Congress should be doing with a new budget, they'd say bringing down the cost of living. This Republican budget doesn't even try. It just spends even more money on Trump's Iran war. I'll keep leading the fight to stop this America Last budget.

The fact is, American families have already paid $3,100 due to inflation under Trump and Republicans. But instead of helping working families, Republicans' latest budget wastes tens of billions of your tax dollars on Trump's disastrous Iran war.

"Nothing in there whatsoever to bring down costs, nothing to lower gas prices, nothing to lower food prices, nothing to lower the cost of consumer goods, just more spending on the most unpopular war in American history." RM @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on Republicans' America Last budget:

Congress should be focused on lowering costs for health care, groceries, housing, and other needs. But instead, Republicans want to spend tens of billions of dollars on Trump's new forever war in Iran. I'm proud to lead the fight against this America Last agenda.

Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on Trump's Iran war and trillions on tax breaks for billionaires. But they won't spend a dime to make your life easier. Their America Last budget does nothing to lower costs. I'm a HELL NO.

While gas prices skyrocket due to his endless war in Iran, Trump is imposing even more tariff taxes that Americans will be forced to pay. Trump will stop at nothing to raise costs on American families. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

As Trump demands more taxpayer money for his disastrous war in Iran, gas prices are rising again. Americans are sick and tired of paying for Trump’s new forever war.

NEW YORK (AP) — US gas prices hit an average of $4 a gallon again as US and Iran launch attacks.

Trump and Republicans want you to think America can't afford to lower costs or provide health care for working families. But they always seem to find money to fund endless wars. I won't stop fighting Republicans' America Last budget.

@repmcgarvey.bsky.social introduced an amendment to rescind funding for Trump's ballroom. But Republicans would rather triple down on their America Last agenda and spend taxpayer dollars on Trump's vanity projects instead of lowering costs.
