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.
"The healthcare costs of every single American family right now are going through the roof. The reality is, you cannot cut more than $900 billion of healthcare spending, and expect those costs not to be made up somewhere else." - @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social
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.
Separation of powers is a key safeguard of our liberty. @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social reminds us of the importance of respecting and defending that principle in order to uphold our democracy and democratic republic. Join us: weholdtruths.org #WeHoldTheseTruths
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.
NEW: “Taxpayers deserve a nonpartisan estimate of the financial and economic impact of President Trump’s reckless war in Iran that has already led to the tragic deaths of American service members.” RM @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's request for CBO analysis on the costs of Trump's war in Iran:
BREAKING: While Old Man Trump, who can barely breathe while he’s speaking he’s so old and out of shape, rambles on, in Pennsylvania, Democrats have just over performed by THIRTY-FIVE POINTS in 2 special elections held tonight. #SOTU2026
I'm proud to have stood with my city in this fight. The Trump administration tried to erase our history, but Philadelphians stood up and rejected his bigotry. Philly remains undefeated against petty wannabe kings.
Almost a month after abruptly dismantling exhibits about slavery from the President’s House, National Park Service employees began reinstalling the panels late morning on Thursday ahead of a court-imposed deadline. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...
The greatest monologue since Shakespeare and the greatest episode in the history of TV…Congrats to Northeast Philly’s own @nanglish.bsky.social
Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one but since the start of his presidency, prices have SKYROCKETED. Americans are struggling because life is too expensive in America. Listen to @congressmanboyle.bsky.social explain more about the ongoing Republican affordability crisis.
Rep. Boyle: Medical costs pushing Americans into bankruptcy EXCLUSIVE to The Weeknight: A House Budget Committee report finds personal bankruptcies are surging under Trump, hitting their highest levels since 2019. @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social, the committee’s ranking member, breaks down the data.
Thrilled to deliver $250,000 today for the Salvation Army's New Day program, which helps survivors of human trafficking. This investment will further empower the Salvation Army to do good work, lifting up the people in our neighborhoods who need it most.
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:
I've got a novel idea for President Trump: instead of giving Americans Greenland, how about giving them health care?
As the Lead Democrat of the U.S. Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I completely oppose President Trump’s threats against the sovereignty of a NATO ally. He is doing more damage to this important alliance than any attack from outside ever could.
New CNN poll brutal for Trump -58% call Trump's first year a failure -55% say that Trump’s policies have worsened economic conditions -64% say he hasn’t gone far enough in trying to reduce the price of goods Trump is a failed president.
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.
Trump is targeting the nonpartisan Chair of the Federal Reserve because Powell won’t bend to his demands. Trump’s political interference is an abuse of power and a threat to our economy. American families can’t afford more of Trump’s economic sabotage. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Kristi Noem is lying. We all saw the video. She must resign. And this heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.
If Donald Trump invades Greenland, it would be the end of NATO as we know it and a devastating blow to the historic alliances that keep Americans safe. We must not betray our allies for the petty ambitions of one man. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It came as European allies rallied behind Denmark after renewed US insistence it must have Greenland.
