Brendan Boyle, a U.S. Congressman representing Pennsylvania’s 2nd district since 2015, has been vocal on social media regarding his opposition to recent Republican budget proposals. On February 13 and 14, 2025, Boyle shared his views through a series of tweets addressing the issue.

In a tweet dated February 13, 2025, Boyle stated: "I just introduced an amendment that stops the Republican plans to pay for their massive tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of working Americans. Predictably, Republicans are outraged—because nothing makes them angrier than the idea of billionaires paying their fair share."

Later that day, Boyle continued his criticism in another post: "We're 8 hours into fighting back against a Republican budget that betrays the middle class — and @HouseBudgetDems aren't backing down. We won't stand by while Republicans steal taxpayer dollars and give them to their billionaire donors." This statement underscores his commitment to opposing policies he perceives as harmful to the middle class.

In an early morning tweet on February 14, 2025, Boyle expressed further concern about fiscal policies benefiting wealthy individuals: "Budget Committee Republicans just advanced a plan that delivers a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to the ultra-rich — and makes American families foot the bill. Republicans are once again betraying the middle class of this country to help billionaire donors like Elon Musk."
