Thanks to the Biden Administration, Wisconsinites can access Direct File, allowing us to file our taxes for free. I have been pushing for Direct File to come to Wisconsin for years and am thrilled to see that it will save money for Wisconsinites!

Wisconsin residents can file their taxes directly to the IRS for free in 2025

Wisconsinites started the 2025 tax season on Monday with a new tool — free access to software that sends their returns straight to the IRS.

Our country is a better place because of the incredible contributions of Black Americans. Happy Black History Month!

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, let me be clear: erasing HIV/AIDS content from government websites helps literally no one. It endangers public health and abandons those who rely on these critical resources. Reckless and stupid.

CDC site scrubs HIV content following Trump DEI policies

The federal health agency began removing all content related to gender identity on Friday.

Thanks to my colleagues for joining me & my Defense Spending Reduction Caucus Co-Chair, @repilhan.bsky.social in this effort.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 31(source)

If the DOGE commission is serious about cutting wasteful government spending, the Pentagon should be their primary focus. They are the only federal agency that has never passed an audit, yet continue to receive HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars every single year.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 31(source)

Great to check out the construction progress of the Sun Prairie Library expansion. When local communities have the resources they need, everyone wins!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 31(source)

Sunshine Place is doing great work in Sun Prairie, providing critical social services for people in need. It was a pleasure to meet with the team to discuss how we can continue to support and help them grow!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 31(source)

85 years ago, Ida Fuller received the first ever #SocialSecurity check. Just like Ida, you deserve your full Social Security benefits because it’s your damn money. I'm a proud co-sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act, which would extend & improve this program for years to come.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 30(source)

Despite what the Trump Administration is claiming, Head Start centers have informed us that their funding is STILL PAUSED. We sent this letter to the Trump Administration today to demand they restore funding for Head Start immediately.

If you weren't able to make it to my town hall last night, you can watch it all here. Credit to @channel3000.bsky.social. youtu.be/W4-PYt3rVLA

This is an attack on public education. Trump is funneling taxpayer dollars from public schools to private schools, many of which have lower standards & worse student outcomes. This will hurt students & further overburden public school teachers.

Trump signs sweeping executive order to expand school choice

The White House also announced that Trump signed an executive order aimed at “ending radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling.”

10 days into the new Trump Administration and all we’ve got is confusion and chaos. Nothing yet on lowering costs…

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 30(source)

It’s always great to get out of D.C. and spend time with folks in the district to chat about what's on their mind!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 30(source)

My heart aches for victims of last night’s tragedy. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts.

Live updates: Authorities believe there are no survivors after a midair crash in the Washington, D.C., area

A regional jet carrying 64 people collided in midair with a Black Hawk helicopter as the plane was approaching a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night.

Great to tour the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans' Hospital! I will always fight like hell to ensure that our veterans have access to the best healthcare possible, and against any efforts to privatize the VA or cut hard-earned benefits.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 29(source)

Trump's chaos and confusion shortchanged Wisconsinites by $100m in needed funds today alone. This isn't amateur hour. People's livelihoods are at stake. Trump MUST get these funds out the door immediately.

Wisconsin waiting on more than $100M in federal funds processed through online portals

As of Wednesday, Wisconsin state agencies had received just about $1 million of the $128.7 million requested this week through online portals.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 29(source)

Trump tried to cut healthcare for 70 million Americans, strip funding from law enforcement and more. Now they're reversing course. This is what happens when we make our voices heard!

@dol.gov reports that 14.3 million workers were union members in 2024. That’s over 14 million workers who are organizing and fighting back like never before. Let’s break it down: 🧵(1/6) www.bls.gov/news.release...

I stand with @govevers.wisconsin.gov and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul who are joining a coalition of states to sue the Trump Administration for illegally withholding federal funding (a.k.a. your tax dollars) to communities across America. This is the action we need!
