Brendan Boyle, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Pennsylvania’s 2nd district, has taken to social media to voice his opposition against a Republican budget bill. Boyle, who succeeded Allyson Schwartz in 2015 and has been active in politics since his tenure in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 2009 to 2015, is known for advocating for working families.
On May 22, 2025, Boyle posted on Twitter at 3 AM stating that he was on the House floor leading a debate against the Republican budget proposal. He expressed determination not to let Republicans “kick nearly 14 million Americans off their health care without a fight” and affirmed commitment to “protect working families.” “It’s 3 AM and I’m on the House floor…”
Later that morning, Boyle criticized Republicans’ efforts to pass a budget bill that he claimed would remove healthcare coverage from millions of people to fund tax cuts for wealthy individuals. He emphasized the importance of continuing the fight due to what he described as high stakes involved. “Republicans are trying to force through a budget bill…”
In another tweet, Boyle commented on what he perceived as incongruous priorities by pointing out that Republicans were touting tax reductions for gun silencers while attempting to eliminate healthcare access for millions of Americans. “I feel like I’ve entered the twilight zone…”
Brendan Boyle, born in Philadelphia in 1977 and educated at the University of Notre Dame with a BA earned in 1999, continues to reside in Philadelphia.
