In addition to my Protect Social Security and Medicare bill, I am excited to co-sponsor two new bills that would protect Social Security from Trump and Musk! These bills would ensure they cannot close Social Security field offices and block Musk/DOGE from violating seniors' personal information.

House Republicans passed the start of the process for a budget bill that is not mathematically possible without cuts to Medicaid. Medicaid serves more than 1 million Wisconsinites. Here are some of their stories:

Don't believe Trump and Musk are going after your Social Security? Well, Musk actually said it: “Most of the federal spending is entitlements,” Musk told the Fox Business Network. “That’s the big one to eliminate.”

Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud

Elon Musk says Social Security and other federal benefit programs will be targeted in his hunt for fraudulent spending.

The Trump Administration kidnapped an activist in the middle of the night. Mahmoud Khalil's detention is a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy. He must be released immediately.

It's been 50 days since Trump's second term began, and since then, we've seen an avalanche of attacks against the queer community. Our Co-Chairs & Vice Chairs have a message for the LGBTQI+ community, especially young trans & queer people, posted on our YouTube: www.youtube.com/shorts/wbcFN...

Hours after Trump said that there might be a recession, the stock market tanked. A billionaire president playing with the retirement savings of millions of Americans is completely unacceptable.

I held a town hall in rural Wisconsin over the weekend. People are deeply upset and concerned about the House Republican proposed cuts to Medicaid. No wonder my Republican colleagues are being told not to host town halls.

The City of Sun Prairie has become the first municipality in Wisconsin to achieve 100% renewable energy. Their next goal: carbon neutrality by 2050. Recently I introduced a bill with State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde to commit the entire state to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Trump won't rule out a recession in 2025

"I hate to predict things like that," Trump said when pressed about the possibility of a recession during a recorded interview that aired on "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo."

The United States cut funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) which provides lifesaving relief for millions of Palestinian refugees. This is a massive humanitarian crisis. I joined my colleagues in co-sponsoring the UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act.

Wisconsin VA employees are already stretched thin. These looming cuts will lead to longer wait times and a decline in quality of care. Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our veterans. Who the hell is asking for this?

Already stretched thin, Wisconsin VA workers brace for impact of 80,000 U.S. layoffs

VA medical center employees in Wisconsin say the sweeping cuts to the workforce already threaten quality of care.

I am excited to introduce the Protect Social Security and Medicare Act with @doggett.house.gov and Rep. Maxwell Frost. We all pay into these programs and are counting on them for essential healthcare and a dignified retirement. This bill will protect them.

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

Sterling Johnson, a professor at @uwmadison.bsky.social, is leading cutting-edge Alzheimer's research. But the Trump administration plans to cut his funding, hurting progress for over 7 million Americans, including 120,000 Wisconsinites. Seriously, who the hell is asking for this?

He studies Alzheimer's. Federal cuts could cripple his search for treatments

Wisconsin universities, hospitals and health organizations signed a letter urging the state's congressional delegation to oppose cuts to research.
