As we watch Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, more and more of us are calling on his cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. (1/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 6(source)

Trump's unnecessary war with Iran is making life too damn expensive, especially for the farmers in my district who grow our nation's food. It’s time to finally end the war and bring prices down! www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Diesel price spike raises stakes for Trump, GOP ahead of midterms

A surge in diesel costs is set to ripple through the U.S. economy, raising prices on everything from groceries to housing and adding new political risk for Republicans.

Ballots were already in voters' hands in Louisiana, yet the Supreme Court still threw out its own 32-day waiting period to ram through a gerrymander. At this point, there is no doubt that they are not just putting their finger on the scale, but acting as an arm of the Republican Party.

Supreme Court clears path for Louisiana to gerrymander mid-election

The Supreme Court fast-tracked its decision in Louisiana v. Callais — a move that clears the way for Louisiana to move forward with redrawing its congressional map even as an election is already…

To all of the hardworking civil servants in Wisconsin and across the country, my message is this: America needs you, and we have your back. #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek

As Co-Chair of @laborcaucus.house.gov, I am fighting in Congress to oppose the Trump administration's continued attacks on federal workers and the services that we all rely on.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 5(source)

But NOW, Senate Republicans are trying to charge TAXPAYERS $1 BILLION in security upgrades in their latest budget proposal for “East Wing Modernization Project,” (which is just code for the ballroom.) (2/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 5(source)

Let me get this straight.  First Trump said his ballroom was going to cost $200 million and it was all going to be donated.  Then it was $300 million, then $400 million. (1/2)

Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right. We need to end Citizens United. youtube.com/shorts/JzBfY...

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 4(source)

Our government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not corporations. It's time to overturn Citizens United!

Why does the United States experience so much more gun violence than other countries? David Hogg explains.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 4(source)

Wisconsin is seeing its highest-ever fuel prices and Republicans in Congress keep backing away from passing legislation to bring costs down and allow year-round E15. We had bipartisan agreements for E15 at the end of 2024 and THIS January. Just put it up for a vote already!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 3(source)

Let’s be clear: the press is not “the enemy of the people.” Just the opposite. A free press, without intimidation or censorship, is essential to our democracy.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 3(source)

This World Press Freedom Day, we don’t just have to think about the attacks on the press in countries like Russia or China. The freedom of our own press is under attack.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 2(source)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Know that you are never alone and that help is available with the 988 Lifeline. Together we can end the stigma.

BREAKING: Gas prices have gone up nearly 50% since Trump’s war with Iran started to the highest in four years.

This #InternationalWorkersDay, I stand in solidarity with workers everywhere. As Co-Chair of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I’m in the fight to protect workers’ rights 💪 like fighting for better wages, benefits, and working conditions!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govApr 30(source)

Absolutely wild how we all pay a higher tax rate than a company that made more than $60 billion in profit last year. We need to tax mega corporations and the ultra rich!

Meta's tax rate for the first quarter of this year was negative 23%. That's in large part because Zuckerberg's company received a tax benefit from the government of $8.03 billion.

GREAT NEWS! Yesterday, animal rescue groups secured an agreement with Ridglan Farms to purchase nearly all of their beagles. We will continue to monitor the situation and will fight to ensure that every single dog receives a loving home.
