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 β€” they want lower costs and health care.

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.

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.

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.

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 β€œaffordability” 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.

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.

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 β€” the good and the bad.

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 β€” but it's critically important to our economy's health.

Trump must stop pressuring the Fed, or he risks raising costs even higher.

Federal Prosecutors Are Said to Have Opened Inquiry Into Fed Chair Powell

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.

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.

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military - White House It came as European allies rallied behind Denmark after renewed US insistence it must have Greenland.

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.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn a free and fair election. More than 140 law enforcement officers were injured, and five officers lost their lives. (1/4)

Trump administration investigates Brown's security after shooting The Department of Education said its Office of Federal Student Aid would investigate if Brown University violated the Higher Education Act in connection with the deadly shooting on Dec. 13.

I had missed this. Perverse even by the standards of the Trump White House. They’re threatening to pull student aid from Brown over the shooting www.nbcboston.com/news/local/t...

An overwhelming majority of the American people don't want to see millions of our neighbors lose their health care.

It's time for Republicans in Congress to care more about their own communities than they do about appeasing Donald Trump.

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.
