Boyle Slams Trump’s FY26 Funding Request, calls on Vought to Testify Before Budget

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Trump administration released another incomplete Fiscal Year 2026 funding request:

“This half-baked proposal shows President Trump is determined to make life harder for struggling families. Republicans are already pushing a bill that would inflict the largest losses of health care coverage and food assistance in our nation’s history. This funding request goes even further, decimating critical public- and mental-health programs and slashing housing aid, home-energy support, and job-training grants.

Republicans will claim these cuts are about fiscal responsibility, yet they’re happy to add trillions to the deficit to shower billionaires with tax breaks.

OMB Director Vought and the Administration must stop hiding from the Budget Committee and give the American people a clear explanation of what their extreme plans will mean for working families.”
