Boyle Statement on House Passage of the Republican Budget Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after House Republicans passed their FY26 budget resolution, clearing the way for Republicans to begin drafting a reconciliation bill:

“This Republican bill does nothing to protect health care, help families struggling with groceries, gas prices, and everyday expenses, or make our communities safer.

House and Senate Republicans just paved the way to hand ICE and CBP another $70 billion without any reforms or accountability. Republicans keep telling working families we cannot afford health care or relief from the cost-of-living crisis they continue to make worse, but they never seem to have a problem writing massive checks for these out-of-control agencies.

I will keep fighting every step of the way to stop this reckless bill.”

It’s clear Republicans have no intention of using these funds to reverse the cost-of-living crisis they created or deliver relief for American families.
