Bessent says global 15% tariff starts this week, predicts Trump duties will return to old levels later this year The Supreme Court last month ruled that President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs are not authorized under the law known as IEEPA.

Trump's Treasury Secretary and billionaire hedge fund manager announces another national sales tax on working families.

A record number of Americans are dipping into their retirement savings just to stay afloat. A leading cause: skyrocketing health care costs.

Instead of helping, Trump made the largest health care cuts in American history and doubled down on his costly tariff taxes.

Ted Cruz asks Treasury to approve $200 billion tax cut without Congress Ted Cruz and Tim Scott urge Treasury Secretary to approve $200 billion tax cut on capital gains without congressional approval.

Washington can be unpredictable, but you can always bet on two things: Ted Cruz abandoning his constituents in a crisis, and Republicans cutting taxes for billionaires.

Boyle Announces $8.47 Million in Federal Funding to Strengthen Philadelphia-Area Transit Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) today announced that the Philadelphia region will receive $8,474,327 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation to support public transportation...

See my full statement here: boyle.house.gov/media-center...

People from around the world will be coming to Philadelphia in 2026.

I'm proud to announce new federal funding to strengthen our transit system ahead of America's 250th birthday, the World Cup, and more.

I’m a proud American. That means telling the truth about our history.

It’s unacceptable that the Trump administration is trying to censor history in Philadelphia.

I announced the Protecting American History Act to stop any president from erasing the full story of our nation.

I am heartbroken by the loss of US service members in the Middle East. I’m profoundly grateful for their service, and my prayers are with their loved ones.

I am praying for a full recovery for the injured and for the safety of all our troops serving in the region.

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. Boyle (PA-02) released the following statement after a federal judge ruled against the Trump administration’s removal of exhibits referencing the brutality of slavery at Indepen...

Read my full statement here: boyle.house.gov/media-center...

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.
