It makes me so happy to see the beagles from Ridglan Farms on their way to loving homes!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 12(source)

BREAKING: Inflation skyrocketed to the highest point in three years because of Trump’s war with Iran.

Consumer prices rose 3.8% annually in April, the highest since May 2023

The consumer price index was expected to increase by 3.7% annually in April, according to the Dow Jones consensus.

Good news is rare in Washington these days, so watching countless beagles being rescued from Ridglan Farms was a welcome change. I’ll continue working to ensure that what happened at Ridglan never happens again.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 11(source)

Last minute, I went to thank the volunteers from both groups for their work. I’ll continue to fight for loving homes for all these dogs and all the remaining dogs until facilities like these no longer exist.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 11(source)

I was supposed to volunteer with Dane County Humane Society & @beaglefreedom.bsky.social to rescue the remaining beagles at Ridglan Farms. However, their attorney told me that I wasn’t welcome on their property.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 10(source)

To all the moms in Wisconsin and across the country: thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 9(source)

Had a good conversation with senior officials in Secretary Kennedy’s office about making sure that facilities like Ridglan Farms can never misuse dogs again. I believe he agrees, but action is required. He can do this. If a facility has serious violations it should be shut down, period.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 8(source)

When I’m in Wisconsin meeting with constituents, I don’t hear a single person tell me that they want to spend their hard-earned money on a $1 billion golden ballroom. What I do hear is the rising costs of gas, groceries, healthcare & housing. This Administration promised to lower costs. They failed.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 8(source)

Later this month, I will be hosting a town hall in every county across my district! More info at pocan.house.gov/services/upcoming-2026-town-halls.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 7(source)

I’m honored to join Rep. Houchin, @trahan.house.gov, and Rep. Valadao in introducing the bipartisan Campus Lifeline Act, which would give colleges greater access to 988 and the tools to better support students' mental health. (2/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 7(source)

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline saves lives. The more awareness we can raise about 988, especially among our young people, the better. (1/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 7(source)

From kindergarten through college, I attended public schools. Great teachers changed my life. The least we can do is pay them what they deserve. I will not stop fighting until that becomes reality. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 7(source)

BREAKING: Gas prices have increased more than 50% as a direct result of Trump’s war with Iran.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 7(source)

Great to join Rev. Dr. Alex Gee at the grand opening of the new Center for Black Excellence. The Center will be a fixture in our community for generations to come. I was honored to secure $1 million in federal funds to help make it happen!

The American people are tired of corrupt politicians selling out to the highest bidder. Leaders like @pocan.house.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social know that getting our democracy to work means getting money out of politics and ending Citizens United.

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 6(source)

But what does that really mean? On this week’s episode of With Liberty and Justice for Some, we answer that question and more with one of our nation’s top political scientists, @normornstein.bsky.social. (2/2)

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

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.

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

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
