Brendan Boyle, a U.S. Congressman representing Pennsylvania's 2nd district since 2015, recently expressed his concerns on social media regarding actions taken by former President Donald Trump. Boyle, who has been serving in Congress after replacing Allyson Schwartz and previously served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, shared his views through a series of tweets.

On February 21, 2025, Boyle criticized Trump's decision to terminate hundreds of IRS workers in Philadelphia. He stated that "Trump's mass firing of hundreds of IRS workers in Philly is a blow to these families, to our local economy, and to every taxpayer." Boyle emphasized the impact this would have during tax season, resulting in longer wait times for residents seeking assistance from the IRS.

In another tweet posted on the same day, Boyle reassured constituents about available support from his office. He mentioned that "My office is always here to help." He provided contact information for those needing assistance with their IRS refunds.

On February 22, 2025, Boyle commented on Trump's dismissal of Chairman Brown from his position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Boyle noted that "Trump just fired the nonpartisan Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff." He described Brown as a respected leader and accused Trump of attempting to fill military ranks with loyalists prioritizing personal interests over national welfare.
