Wisconsin is seeing its highest-ever fuel prices and Republicans in Congress keep backing away from passing legislation to bring costs down and allow year-round E15. We had bipartisan agreements for E15 at the end of 2024 and THIS January. Just put it up for a vote already!

Let’s be clear: the press is not “the enemy of the people.” Just the opposite. A free press, without intimidation or censorship, is essential to our democracy.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.gov5d ago(source)

This World Press Freedom Day, we don’t just have to think about the attacks on the press in countries like Russia or China. The freedom of our own press is under attack.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Know that you are never alone and that help is available with the 988 Lifeline. Together we can end the stigma.

BREAKING: Gas prices have gone up nearly 50% since Trump’s war with Iran started to the highest in four years.

This #InternationalWorkersDay, I stand in solidarity with workers everywhere. As Co-Chair of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I’m in the fight to protect workers’ rights 💪 like fighting for better wages, benefits, and working conditions!

Absolutely wild how we all pay a higher tax rate than a company that made more than $60 billion in profit last year. We need to tax mega corporations and the ultra rich!

Meta's tax rate for the first quarter of this year was negative 23%. That's in large part because Zuckerberg's company received a tax benefit from the government of $8.03 billion.

GREAT NEWS! Yesterday, animal rescue groups secured an agreement with Ridglan Farms to purchase nearly all of their beagles. We will continue to monitor the situation and will fight to ensure that every single dog receives a loving home.

Animal rescue group says it bought 1,500 beagles from Wisconsin facility targeted by protesters

An estimated 25 million Americans live with rare, ultra-rare, and undiagnosed conditions, and this will help raise awareness for people living with those diseases.

Yesterday, I introduced a bipartisan resolution with Rep. Ben Cline to recognize April as Undiagnosed Awareness Month and April 29th as Undiagnosed Day.

70% of members of the House of Representatives are 65 or older. Those demographics are not representative and don’t look like the electorate. On today’s podcast, I chat about this age discrepancy, gun violence prevention, and more with David Hogg. Take a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7TQ...

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

Prices for groceries, healthcare, education, childcare, basically everything under the sun, are way too high. We need big, new ideas to actually make things cheaper for working people. @USProgressives announced the New Affordability Agenda to make things cheaper by taking on special interests.

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

This amendment forces the USDA to review dog breeding facilities whose state level licenses were relinquished, and to take action to rescind their equivalent federal licenses. Shut. Them. Down.

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

My amendment targeting breeders like Ridglan Farms was passed into the House Appropriations Agriculture funding bill earlier today.

Donald Trump's war of choice did this. End the war in Iran! www.nbcnews.com/business/ene...

Gas prices hit $4.23 per gallon, a new high for the year

As the Iran war enters its third month with peace talks stalled, the global energy crisis shows no sign of letting up.

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

Unfortunately, Republicans rejected this amendment, proving they would rather stick their heads in the sand than acknowledge this unnecessary and tragic loss of life because of Trump's cruel policies.

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

At yesterday's Appropriations Committee markup, I offered an amendment that would direct the government to publish a study on how many deaths the shuttering of USAID has caused and could cause over the next five years if these cuts to lifesaving assistance continue.

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

Studies show that Trump's dismantling of USAID may have already caused upwards of 1 million preventable deaths worldwide, and could cause up to 14 million more by 2030.
