In March, we celebrate Women’s History Month, a month dedicated to honoring trailblazing women and the many contributions women have made to our society. I’m honored to serve alongside two of these trailblazers, Senator Tammy Baldwin and Representative Gwen Moore.

As Co-Chair of the @laborcaucus.bsky.social, I met with @afscme.bsky.social (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) President Lee Saunders to discuss the illegal firings of our civil servants and to strategize how we can fight back.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 28(source)

I led a letter with @repherbconaway.bsky.social and signed by 136 colleagues to the Department of Labor demanding answers.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 28(source)

It is completely unacceptable for Elon Musk to access the Department of Labor's internal data system while his companies are being investigated for union busting. Raises serious concerns of corruption and conflict of interest.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 28(source)

This week, the House GOP passed a bill to start a process to transfer trillions of dollars of wealth from the middle class to the ultra-wealthy while slashing programs like Medicaid. I break it down in this video. youtube.com/shorts/F1DCb...

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 28(source)

Musk and Trump just fired over a dozen employees at Madison's local VA. Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our nation’s veterans. This will mean slower services and longer wait times. Our vets deserve better.

Federal workers, including at least one disabled veteran, fired from the VA in Madison

The Wisconsin workers who lost their jobs were among 1,400 laid off by the Department of Veterans Affairs this week. Veterans were among those fired.

Ooof, Tesla stock down nearly 30% in the past month. Elon Musk, please reply with approx. 5 bullet points of what you accomplished last week. Deadline is this Monday at 11:59EST.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 28(source)

I am a cosponsor of the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, which would prevent people like Elon Musk from unlawfully accessing your personal info. We need just three House Republicans to get it passed. Let’s put the pressure on them!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 28(source)

I said it once and I’ll say it again. F*CK Donald Trump and Elon Musk. To all of our civil servants: I hear you and I’m with you. Your only fireable offense is trying to serve the American people. We’re going to organize and fight back. captimes.com/news/governm...

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 27(source)

Social security is YOUR damn money. YOU paid into it. When out-of-touch billionaires like Trump and Elon take a machete to the folks that send out your checks, your money gets delayed. prospect.org/health/socia...

Social Security Administration Could Cut Half Its Workforce

Sources tell the Prospect that a meeting called for a 50 percent reduction in an agency that millions rely on for benefit implementation.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 27(source)

Trump and Musk halted Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives payments to Wisconsin farmers and dairy businesses without explanation. @repgwenmoore.bsky.social and I sent a letter to USDA Secretary Rollins to demand an explanation of their actions and immediate restoration of this essential support.

The Republican Rip Off

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

My Republican colleagues voted to cut Medicaid, SNAP, crop insurance for farmers, and public education for kids.

The House Wants to Pass Trump’s Agenda in One Big Bill. Here’s What’s in It.

The G.O.P. bill would extend tax cuts and almost certainly make big reductions to programs serving the poor. Passing it may be hard, though.

You may be wondering, what the hell is a reconciliation bill? On the fourth episode of my podcast, I am joined by an expert on this topic, former director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Shalanda Young. open.spotify.com/episode/7B7U...

I officially challenge all of Wisconsin’s Congressional Republicans to defend their vote to slash Medicaid and cut taxes for the ultra-rich. Let’s do it in a town hall format for maximum transparency!

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

As a government employee, I can’t hold any federal contracts. And rightfully so. My ELON MUSK Act would also apply that common sense rule to “special government employees” just like Elon. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding

Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.

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

Just heard from dairy producers in Wisconsin that had their Dairy Business Innovation funding impounded/frozen. Working to ensure that more ill-conceived actions from the Trump/Musk administration don’t hurt other farmers and Wisconsin Dairy. More to come…

BOOM: Rep. Mark Pocan takes the GLOVES OFF during my interview with him: “Donald Trump is full of shit (and he) needs to get the fuck away from Mar-a-Lago” and instead come to talk to real people. 🔥🔥🔥

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

Republicans just voted to move forward with a plan to rip healthcare and food assistance away from working people all to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. Every single Democrat voted against this. We can't let them get away with this Republican Rip-Off. Make your voices heard!

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

Today, I heard from folks who rely on Medicaid to survive. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will NOT provide a single vote to cut Medicaid.
