Rep. Brendan Boyle

No matter how he spins it, the reality is that Trump's tariffs are a de facto sales tax on Americans.

Americans know better. In recent polling, two-thirds of Americans oppose his tariffs.

I never want to hear Republicans lecture Americans about the deficit and debt ever again.

Despite all their grandstanding in Washington, they turn around and make it worse by giving tax breaks to billionaires the moment they have power.

Trump rambled for almost two hours. We heard a lot of lies. We heard a lot of nonsense. What we didn’t hear was an actual plan to lower prices for working families.

Trump bragged about taking in hundreds of billions of dollars with his tariffs.

His tariffs are a national sales tax - and that's hundreds of billions of YOUR dollars that he's bragging about taking.

Trump will give his #SOTU speech in just a few hours.

Here's what you won't hear:

There are no words strong enough to describe the vile behavior Trump is accused of in these files.

We now know Trump's Justice Department is withholding files related to accusations against him. What is he hiding?

Boyle Statement on Fourth Anniversary of Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Lead Democrat for the U.S. Congressional Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, issued the following statement on the fourth anniversary of Vladimir Putin...

Boyle Statement on Fourth Anniversary of Putin's Invasion of Ukraine It has been four years since Vladimir Putin launched a brutal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. He expected Ukraine to fall within days. He was wrong. Ukrainians have fought with extraordinary courage, and with much of the free world behind them, they are still fighting. Ukraine can still win, but only if NATO remains united and the United States leads with strength and clarity. President Trump is doing the opposite. By threatening allies and floating reckless talk about Greenland while refusing to stand up to Putin, he is weakening NATO at the very moment deterrence matters most. America must stand with Ukraine. The security of the United States and Europe depends on it.

Today marks four years since Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine began.

Ukraine still stands thanks to the Ukrainian people's extraordinary courage and NATO allies standing united against Russian aggression.

Our security depends on America and our allies standing firm.

Small businesses and American consumers should absolutely get their money back from the Trump tariff taxes the Supreme Court struck down.

American families deserve immediate relief from the crushing prices under Donald Trump.

Donald Trump will stop at nothing to raise prices on hardworking Americans.

If only he fought this hard to give working people affordable health care...

As I've been saying for over a year: Donald Trump doesn't have the power to impose a nationwide sales tax.

This is a huge victory for working Americans being crushed by Trump's disastrous tariff taxes.

For all the bragging from Trump, you'd think he would have some kind of results to back it up.

But economic growth slowed at the end of 2025, inflation remains high, and the job market is a mess.

A year of his chaos hasn't produced anything for working Americans.

Trump is the most corrupt president in our history, and everyone knows it.

Trump thinks he can use taxpayer money like his personal bank account. That money belongs to the American people, not him.

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.

Yet another rural hospital is closing their doors after devastating health care cuts from Republicans in Washington.

They're cutting Americans' health care so billionaires can get more tax breaks.

I won't stop fighting to ensure all Pennsylvanians have the care they deserve.

Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing! I hope this time is peaceful, reflective, and full of blessings.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate in Pennsylvania and around the world!

Boyle Statement on Court Ruling Regarding Slavery Exhibits at Independence National Historical Park Congressman Brendan F.

I'm proud of our country and its founding ideals. That means we tell the full truth about our history, the good and the bad.

I welcome this ruling and will continue fighting to ensure these exhibits are fully restored.

The average American family paid over one thousand dollars more for necessities in 2025.

Meanwhile, as he calls affordability "a hoax," Donald Trump is busy designing gilded ballrooms for his White House.

He couldn't be more out of touch.

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.

Thanks to Trump's tariff taxes, the cost of living crisis keeps getting worse.
 
American families literally can't afford Trump's reckless policies and his disastrous tariffs.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

This reckless decision by Donald Trump will kill good-paying clean energy jobs, raise energy costs, and threaten the health of our children.

I'll keep working to do everything I can in Congress to fight Donald Trump’s pro-pollution policies.

Trump’s tariff taxes are costing the average American family about $1,700 more.

That’s a massive tax hike on working families.

Meanwhile, Trump's billionaire friends are getting massive tax breaks.

While I'm glad a bipartisan majority just voted to end Trump's reckless tariffs against Canada, a vast majority of Republicans were happy to let Trump keep raising costs on Americans.

I won't stop fighting until we end Trump's tariff taxes on working Americans once and for all.

My new report found personal bankruptcies are now at the highest level since 2019, the last time Trump was president.

As costs continue to rise & Trump cuts healthcare, this is yet another sign Americans can't afford Trump's economy.

Read the report here: democrats-budget.house.gov/resources/re...

Today's job report also shows 2025 was one of the worst years for jobs in two decades.

While hiring slowed and costs rose, Republicans cut health care for millions of Americans and gave tax breaks to billionaires.

Trump's economic policies are bad for working Americans.

Trump’s reckless economic policies and tariff taxes are driving up costs and making it harder for Americans to find good-paying jobs.

It’s no surprise my new report finds bankruptcies are up in 47 states and D.C.

Plus: EXCLUSIVE to #TheWeeknight: A new House Budget Committee report finds personal bankruptcies are surging under Trump, hitting their highest levels since 2019 as filings rise in nearly every state. @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social, the committee’s ranking member, joins us to break down the data.

Trump’s tariff taxes are driving up prices and weakening the job market.

Congress has the power to stop it.

No more cheap talk from Republicans who claim to care about costs. If they truly mean it, they should help end Trump’s reckless economic policies.
