Cuts to the Department of Education are cuts to our children’s future. Don’t just take my word for it. Hear it straight from Ms. Lor, a 5th grade teacher in my district. As a public school graduate, I know firsthand that the more we invest in public education, the better off we’ll be!

Direct File was free, easy, and available to millions! The brainless decision by the Trump Administration to end it will cost Americans more money just to file their taxes. This administration is interested only in padding the pockets of big business, not helping regular folks!

Yet another senseless act of gun violence in this country took four lives far too soon. When will House Republicans say 'enough is enough'? We need commonsense gun violence prevention legislation now! www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Trump continues to lose in court from judges across the political spectrum. It probably has something to do with the fact that his executive orders are blatantly unconstitutional.

Half a million people in Gaza are starving. One in three hasn’t eaten in days. Children are dying. Netanyahu has the ability to stop this and needs to allow more aid to enter and stop shooting people trying to get food. news.un.org/en/story/202...

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Postal Service, older than our nation itself. The USPS is a service, not a business. And it belongs to the people, not corporate profiteers!

This is basically what it’s like listening to my Republican colleagues try to explain their vote for Medicaid cuts.

Great news! River Food Pantry has secured $12 million for their new facility. I’m honored to have helped secure $3 million for this critical project that will feed countless families. www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...

Here’s the brutal truth: 51,000 Americans will die every year because of Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid. Let’s reverse these cuts to Medicaid and save lives!

In 1965, CEOs made 20 times what workers did. In 2024, it was 285. Productivity went up. Wages didn’t. Wonder who pocketed the difference? aflcio.org/paywatch

It’s why I’m a co-sponsor of the Raise the Wage Act and will continue to fight for its passage so that the minimum wage is a livable wage.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJul 24(source)

16 years. That’s how long it’s been since the national minimum wage was increased in the United States. No member of Congress could live on $7.25 an hour, and they know it.

I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes over the next year and a half. My best wishes for him and Kathy on their next adventure.

@govevers.wisconsin.gov has served Wisconsin admirably for five decades, and I’m proud to call him my friend. He brought decency back to the State House and always fought for what was right.

Nearly 800,000 doses of the mpox vaccine that we originally pledged to African nations may go to waste. @sarajacobs.house.gov and I led 46 of our colleagues in a letter to Secretary Rubio urging him to immediately deliver these lifesaving vaccines to the people who need them.
