“Republicans are threatening to shut down the government because they refuse to end their all-out war on health care." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on passage of the Republican funding bill that rips health care from millions:

I won't stand by while Republicans rip health care away from millions of Americans and drive up the price of care for millions more. It's time for Republicans to stop pushing our country towards a government shutdown and start working with us to protect Americans' health care.

NEW: The Congressional Budget Office confirms Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's warnings. Trump’s health care plan would rip coverage from 15 million Americans and hike costs for millions more.

"The Fed isn’t cutting rates because the economy is strong; it’s cutting them because Donald Trump is recklessly sabotaging it." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the Fed's decision to cut interest rates today:

Once again, the nonpartisan GAO found that Trump is breaking the law and withholding funds that American communities rely on. It's yet another reason Congress must pass @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's Congressional Power of the Purse Act. Learn more here: democrats-budget.house.gov/legislation/...

As the Article I Branch, Congress and Congress alone has the authority to direct spending through law. Our legislation introduced by @HouseBudgetDems.bsky.social shows a strong united front that we will not roll over and yield this authority to any President.

Trump’s sabotage is slowing our economy and blocking investments in medical research, health care, infrastructure, schools, and more. That's why I'm cosponsoring the Congressional Power of the Purse Act to stop his illegal power grab and protect the investments our communities are owed.

"If Republicans keep letting Trump and his cronies hijack Americans' tax dollars, it will only get worse." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on GAO reaffirming so-called "pocket rescissions" are illegal:

"Donald Trump is the single greatest con artist in American history. He promised to lower prices, but his reckless policies keep driving them higher." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the news that CPI inflation rose to 2.9% in August:

Trump and his OMB director, Russell Vought, are imposing Project 2025's extreme agenda by dismantling the services and investments Americans rely on. I'm leading the fight against Trump's power grab by introducing the Congressional Power of the Purse Act.

NEW: Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social and every Budget Democrat are taking a stand against Trump's abuses of power. The Congressional Power of the Purse Act will fight back against Trump's power grab and ensure the American people get the vital services they were promised.

"Donald Trump inherited an economy built on years of steady job growth. In just seven months, he’s managed to screw it up — just like he’s screwed up everything else in his life." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the August jobs report:

Trump's "pocket rescission" is plainly illegal. It isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. As always, the only thing Donald Trump cares about is seizing more power for himself. He couldn't care less about the law, the Constitution, or helping American families.

"The Constitution is clear: it is Congress—not the President—that holds the power of the purse." Read Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's statement and a new explainer on Trump's illegal "pocket rescission." 🧵

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, prices keep climbing. He’s handing billionaire donors massive tax breaks while working families face the largest loss of health care in American history. American families can't afford Trump's reckless policies.

"Donald Trump promised to lower costs, but instead prices keep climbing." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's PCE inflation data:

Donald Trump is committing economic sabotage. His reckless bid to remove Fed Governor Cook is already tanking the dollar. It is illegal, it hurts workers and businesses, and it is nothing more than an attempt to scapegoat someone for his failure to lower costs.

It's no surprise Trump and Vance are struggling to sell their Big Ugly Law. They can try all they want, but they can't spin causing the largest loss of health care in US history to give tax breaks to billionaires.

NEW: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed what Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social has warned about for months: Trump's Big Ugly Law adds so much to the deficit with tax breaks for billionaires, it forces $536 billion in cuts to Medicare.

90 years ago today, FDR signed the Social Security Act, the greatest anti-poverty program in American history. It is a promise that every American can retire with dignity. While Republicans may be determined to break this sacred promise, Democrats will fight to defend it.

Social Security is the greatest anti-poverty program in American history. For 90 years, it has enabled millions to retire with dignity. My Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act would protect that promise for all generations by making the mega-rich pay their fair share.

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

Trump's Big Ugly Law is the biggest transfer of wealth in American history. The reality is, those struggling the most will see their costs go up, while the richest will get a tax break. Trump doesn't work for working people — he's in it for himself and his billionaire friends.

"Donald Trump was elected to bring down costs. Instead, he’s made the problem worse." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's CPI inflation report:

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.

NEW: Trump and Republicans pretend to care about working Americans. But analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office tells the truth: Trump's Big Ugly Law takes from families in need to further enrich Trump's billionaire donors. It is a shameful betrayal of the American people.

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.

The Social Security Administration announced Trump's Big Ugly Law will accelerate the Social Security trust fund's depletion. Donald Trump and his Republican lapdogs are betraying the hard-working Americans who earned that money.

"The American people can’t afford delays in lifesaving NIH research to find cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on GAO finding that the Trump admin illegally withheld National Institutes of Health funding:

NEW: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that Trump's Big Ugly Law adds over $4 trillion to the deficit when interest costs are included. While working families lose their health care, Trump is wasting trillions on massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

News flash—when you fire workers, gut agencies, cut funding, and impose massive tariffs, the economy suffers. But instead of doing anything to fix it and help working Americans, Trump is throwing a tantrum and blaming someone else for his mistakes.

🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump didn't like today's jobs report, so he's firing the nonpartisan official in charge of America's jobs data. This is how dictators behave.

Firing the nonpartisan commissioner of Bureau of Labor Statistics just hours after a deeply worrying report showing serious job loss in manufacturing is what you'd expect in a Banana Republic. Dr. McEntarfer is nonpartisan, and was confirmed with 86 bipartisan votes. This is no way to run a nation.

Trump is firing the head of the BLS because the facts in today’s jobs report show the economy is flailing. Instead of fixing the problem, he’s punishing the people who tell the truth. Reliable data is essential to a stable economy, and Trump is destroying it to protect himself.

"This kind of interference puts the credibility of government data at risk and shakes confidence in the economy." @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on Trump's shameful and dangerous firing of BLS's labor stats chief in light of the president's poor job numbers:

🔺Costs are up 🔻Jobs are down Donald Trump's economy is a disaster for American families.

Chaotic presidents make for chaotic economies. Today's disastrous jobs report is a direct result of Trump's chaotic policies. Prices are rising and job growth is slowing — the exact opposite of what American families need.

"American families deserve an economy that works for them. But under President Trump, job growth is slowing, costs keep rising, and the Big Ugly Law is stripping health care from millions.” @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the news that three-month avg. job growth has slowed to just 35,000/month:

"This is a clear attempt to override the will of Congress and deny people the support they were promised." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office once again finding that President Trump is breaking the law:

"Americans can't afford Trump's economic agenda, from the stripping away of health care, to the price hikes from tariffs, and now his plans to privatize Social Security." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's news that PCE inflation rose to 2.6% in June:

NEW: Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office analysis shows that Trump's cuts to R&D programs would reduce economic growth.

“Americans are still waiting for President Trump to take real action on the cost of living. Instead of helping, he’s making things worse." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's statement on the Fed's decision to maintain interest rates at current levels:

🚨BREAKING🚨 Trump's billionaire Treasury Secretary just admitted Trump Accounts are a "backdoor for PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY." I'll fight like hell to keep Donald Trump and his billionaire donors away from our hard-earned benefits.

On July 30, 1965, Democrats delivered Medicare and Medicaid. 60 years later, these vital programs provide care for tens of millions of Americans. With Medicare and Medicaid under attack by Donald Trump, Democrats are fighting every day to defend care for working Americans.

"The power of the purse belongs to Congress, not the President." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office finding that the Trump Administration broke the law by withholding Head Start funds:

I'll never believe a Republican who says they care about fiscal responsibility when they just voted for a law that adds $3.4 trillion to the national deficit. For decades, they've mortgaged America's financial health to line the pockets of their billionaire donors.

NEW: Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office analysis shows that Trump's Big Ugly Law adds $3.4 TRILLION to the deficit. While working Americans lose their health care, the ultra-rich get massive tax breaks. Donald Trump and his Republican lapdogs have betrayed the American people.

"This decision leaves no doubt: the data must be public." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on a federal court ruling that President Trump has been violating the law by hiding budget data from the American people:

NEW: Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office analysis shows that Trump's proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health will result in fewer medications for patients. Our world-leading research fighting cancers and chronic diseases will grind to a halt because of Trump.

"By cutting funding they only months ago supported, Republicans are undermining the appropriations process and weakening the constitutional authority of Congress." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on Republicans abdicating congressional authority by passing Trump's rescissions package:
