Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate the achievements of the labor movement and contributions of workers everywhere. We’ll keep fighting to give workers a seat at the table and to create good paying jobs ✊

Hope you had an excellent August!

Republican politicians promised to lower costs. Still waiting. All we see are tariffs doing the exact opposite.

Just in time for Labor Day!

ANOTHER COURT WIN! A federal judge has ruled that Gov. Ron DeSantis’ law that bans books conservatives deem harmful is unconstitutional and overbroad.

What you might not have heard about on the news… this August, @housedemocrats.bsky.social held more than 1,100 local events across the country!

Why is nobody talking about this? The Big Ugly Law shortens the life of the Social Security Fund by an entire year. There’s also a $500 billion cut to Medicare. I believe we should strengthen these vital programs, not gut them! youtu.be/2QaTb5KrriI

I joined @pressley.house.gov and @pettersen.house.gov, along with 100 of our colleagues in the House, demanding that you pressure Israel to allow aid and formula to babies at risk of starvation.

AN URGENT MESSAGE FOR SECRETARY RUBIO: We all know that countless babies in Gaza are being killed by bombs and starvation. It’s horrific beyond words.

No parent should hear their baby cry from hunger and be powerless to feed them. Yet in Gaza, infants are dying while baby formula sits blocked at the border. Sec. Rubio must demand that Israel end the blockade and allow life-saving aid to reach families.

Today, it costs more to put two young kids in child care than it does to pay the average rent or mortgage. It's breathtaking. Our bipartisan, pro-kid budget invests over $360 million to cut wait lists, lower costs for working families, and support kids and providers statewide.

The Child Care Industry $110 million to continue providing direct payments to child care providers, $66 million to get kids ready for kindergarten, $123 million to ensure affordability for low-income families, $28 million to increase the reimbursement rate for care for infants and toddlers, $4 million to cut wait lists and help parents find care

It is the first week back to school for so many kids across America, and we've already had a school shooting that's ended in tragedy. This is a uniquely American problem and it's time for Congress to grow a spine and act. My heart goes out to the entire Minneapolis community at this difficult time.

The Big Ugly Law: 3 shocking facts nobody’s talking about.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 26(source)

MORE COURT WINS! A federal judge denied the Trump administration’s request to terminate a law that protects immigrant children in federal custody, guaranteeing their right to food, water, adult supervision, medical services, toilets, ventilation, and more.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 26(source)

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, I’d like to say that this is illegal and f*cking dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

Trump Budget Office Is Withholding H.I.V. Funds That Congress Appropriated

Lawmakers allocated $6 billion this fiscal year for PEPFAR, the H.I.V. prevention and treatment program, but the administration has indicated it will release less than half of that.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 25(source)

Other than all the Kim Jong Un stans out there, who the hell is telling Trump "maybe we need a dictator?”

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 25(source)

Netanyahu is still wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and hundreds of thousands of Israelis are protesting his destruction of Gaza. The tides are turning. Netanyahu must do the right thing and end the mass starvation and killing.
