Last night, I joined @maddow.msnbc.com to discuss my most recent town hall in rural Wisconsin! Watch here: youtu.be/sjOrdLQc2dQ?...

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

I’m joining @maddow.msnbc.com on MSNBC in just a few minutes to discuss why I’m not afraid to hold town halls unlike some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. Be sure to tune in!

Donald Trump has sold America to the highest bidder and that bidder is Elon Musk.

House DPCC@dpcc.house.govMar 11(source)

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.

Another day under the Trump Administration, another day where school kids and small farmers are being left behind and ripped off. Unacceptable.

NEW: The Trump Administration is once again trying to walk back promises to Wisconsin’s farmers and producers—this time gutting $1 billion Congress approved to support local producers and food pantries and strengthens our supply chains, including $6 million promised to Wisconsin.

The Trump Administration must stop turning their backs on America's Dairyland and betraying our farmers, producers, and agricultural industries by trying to gut funding Wisconsin's farmers and producers were promised.

Transparency is the way to go. Why are my republican colleagues too scared to do town halls as well?

Opinion | Pocan town meeting packed as Republicans dodge constituents

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.”

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.

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

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.
