Today, it costs more to put two young kids in child care than it does to pay the average rent or mortgage. It's breathtaking. Our bipartisan, pro-kid budget invests over $360 million to cut wait lists, lower costs for working families, and support kids and providers statewide.

The Child Care Industry $110 million to continue providing direct payments to child care providers, $66 million to get kids ready for kindergarten, $123 million to ensure affordability for low-income families, $28 million to increase the reimbursement rate for care for infants and toddlers, $4 million to cut wait lists and help parents find care

It is the first week back to school for so many kids across America, and we've already had a school shooting that's ended in tragedy. This is a uniquely American problem and it's time for Congress to grow a spine and act. My heart goes out to the entire Minneapolis community at this difficult time.

The Big Ugly Law: 3 shocking facts nobody’s talking about.

MORE COURT WINS! A federal judge denied the Trump administration’s request to terminate a law that protects immigrant children in federal custody, guaranteeing their right to food, water, adult supervision, medical services, toilets, ventilation, and more.

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, I’d like to say that this is illegal and f*cking dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

Trump Budget Office Is Withholding H.I.V. Funds That Congress Appropriated

Lawmakers allocated $6 billion this fiscal year for PEPFAR, the H.I.V. prevention and treatment program, but the administration has indicated it will release less than half of that.

Other than all the Kim Jong Un stans out there, who the hell is telling Trump "maybe we need a dictator?”

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

Netanyahu is still wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and hundreds of thousands of Israelis are protesting his destruction of Gaza. The tides are turning. Netanyahu must do the right thing and end the mass starvation and killing.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 24(source)

The Republican party claims to be for fiscal responsibility, yet this year nearly every Republican in Congress voted to add more than $4 trillion to the national deficit. Just sayin’.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 23(source)

Some good news for the weekend! A federal judge ordered "Alligator Alcatraz" to close within 60 days! Maybe we shouldn't build makeshift camps in the middle of the Everglades... or anywhere.

I’ve spoken with many farmers who are being crushed by Trump’s reckless tariffs. Duane, a Wisconsin farmer of 45 years, shares his experience.

No matter your beliefs on this topic, we should all be able to agree that subpoenaing personal medical records is massive government overreach and a blatant invasion of privacy. Big government digging into kids' private medical information is unacceptable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...

Trump Officials Demanded Confidential Data About Transgender Children Seeking Care

You deserve better! We need to take on the greedy corporations, tax the rich, and put working people first.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 21(source)

We all know it. The cost of living is too damn high. But Trump and Republican politicians have broken their promise to lower costs and made life even harder with reckless tariffs and a Big, Ugly Law, which will raise health care, grocery, and utility costs.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 21(source)

MORE COURT WINS! An appeals court unanimously blocked Trump’s attempt to ERASE a public database tracking federal spending. A big win for transparency and accountability.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 21(source)

Republicans in Congress made a major miscalculation.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govAug 20(source)

You may have heard Trump's attacks on mail in voting, despite the fact that he has voted by mail multiple times himself. The logical explanation: he's just trying to make it harder for people to vote.
