Congressman Brendan Boyle

Trump and Republicans refuse to negotiate and have canceled session again this week.

Republicans don't want to reopen the government — they are happy to kick millions of Americans off their health care and let premiums skyrocket for millions more.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Shout out to @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social for explaining that EVERYONE’S healthcare premiums are going up. That means if you get it through work, either you are paying more if you pay for some or all of your premiums. If your employer pays, you won’t be getting a raise or coverage will get cut.

Republicans control the House.
Republicans control the Senate.
Republicans control the White House.

But Trump and congressional Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect your health care.

I showed up to Washington ready to avert a shutdown — but Republicans locked the door to the House of Representatives.

Republicans could open Congress up and solve this, but they would rather take health care from millions of their constituents.

Republicans would rather shut the government down than save health care for millions of Americans.

I came to Washington today to lower health care costs and keep the government open, but Republican leadership literally locked us out.

Republicans are trying to increase your health insurance premiums so they can give away that money in tax breaks for billionaires.

They’re even threatening to shutdown the government to get it done.

John Fetterman is wrong. Plain and simple.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Opinion | ‘They’ Didn’t Kill Charlie Kirk It insults his memory to blame political opponents for one man’s heinous act.

WSJ editorial: "Using Charlie's murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it."

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

I strongly support my Budget Committee colleague @ilhanmn.bsky.social against this disgraceful smear being leveled against her. If this censure passes the House, a dangerous new precedent would be set: punishing members for something they never said.

Thank you to @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social for cosponsoring H.R.3740!

We urge Members of Congress to #RepealPLCAA by cosponsoring the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act.

On Sunday, I officially renamed the Bustleton Post Office in honor of Sgt. Christopher Fitzgerald, a Temple police officer tragically killed in the line of duty.

I’m glad legislation I led made this small but fitting tribute possible for a life devoted to serving our city.

The health care cuts caused by Trump's Big Bill for Billionaires are quickly approaching — millions of Americans will lose their health care, and millions more will see their prices go up.

I'm doing everything in my power to avert this crisis.

Boyle Named Lead Democrat for U.S. Congressional Delegation to NATO Parliament This is one of the greatest honors of my career. I first want to pay tribute to my predecessor Gerry Connolly, who served with great distinction in this position for many years. He was a mentor to me for years and his excellent example will always be forefront in my mind and heart. NATO is the most successful security alliance in human history. It is the bedrock of our post-World War II security and stability. I will do everything in my power to ensure we rise to and overcome the present challenges facing this great alliance.

My full statement on being named lead Democrat for the U.S. Delegation to the NATO Parliament:

Republicans control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.

If there is a government shutdown, it will be because Republicans want one.

It really is so striking how much The Discourse operates untethered from…what we actually know. The killer is still at large! We have no idea who did it! Seems pretty important to get that sorted.

Thank you @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social for your support of PSA Flight Attendants and your constituents fighting for a fair contract!

This weekend I was invited to speak at Demstock, a gathering of hundreds of rural county Democrats in NW PA. Feeling energized after meeting hundreds of great PA Democrats!

Everyone knows Trump is Putin’s poodle.

But why? Is it weakness? Or stupidity?

Or does Putin have something on him?

Trump's pick for BLS commissioner endorses suspending monthly jobs reports "The BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports," E.J. Antoni, Trump's pick to lead the federal statistical agency, said in an interview with Fox Business.

Turns out Trump's solution to his disastrous jobs reports is to just not have jobs reports at all.

TONIGHT: @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social joins @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

Trump fired the nonpartisan BLS Commissioner for telling the truth about his disastrous economic record.

Now he’s nominating a loyalist whose main job seems to be flattering him, a dangerous move that could shatter trust in the data our entire economy depends on.

The nonpartisan CBO confirmed: Trump's Big Ugly Law robs hard-working Americans.

Republicans are adding trillions to the debt, raising costs on struggling families, and kicking millions off their health care — all to enrich billionaires.

It's Robin Hood in reverse.

BREAKING: I asked the nonpartisan CBO what the Big Ugly Law means for working people.

They just confirmed Trump is enriching his billionaire friends at the expense of American families.

It is the largest transfer of wealth from working Americans to the ultra-rich in history.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is tanking the economy. That’s why he just fired the head of the BLS, because the official government stats prove this.
Trump’s policies are failing. We need Democrats in Congress who aren’t afraid to speak the truth and don’t cover for Trump.
