Whistleblower Aid@wbaidlaw.bsky.socialMay 14(source)

"The system is fully non-functional at this point," our client ICE whistleblower Ryan Schwank told @pocan.house.gov about the internal mechanisms to report wrongdoing in the administration. Watch the full episode: youtu.be/tDFe_nmZqXo?...

I’m excited to see the progress made on what will be Madison’s first homeless shelter for men, providing a safe, welcoming, and dignified environment for Madison's most vulnerable. I was honored to secure $2 million in federal funds to help make this 44,000+ square feet shelter come to life!

Republicans in Congress let the ACA tax credits expire. Now premiums have skyrocketed, and more than one in five Americans enrolled in an ACA plan simply can’t pay. We need to bring back the tax credits and make healthcare more affordable for every American! www.notus.org/healthcare/a...

One in Five HealthCare.gov Enrollees Dropped Insurance Coverage This Year

More Americans are dropping out of health care marketplaces than usual, after Congress let pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies lapse.

Today, I offered an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, & Science funding bill to prohibit the Trump administration from targeting any person or organization solely for exercising their constitutionally-protected First Amendment rights. Every Republican in Committee voted no. (3/3)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 13(source)

Those are vague and undefined terms, and this directive is a clear effort to silence criticism and dissent by infringing on Americans' freedom of speech. (2/3)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 13(source)

Last fall, the Trump administration issued an Orwellian directive called NSPM-7 which would allow them to investigate anyone they deem to be "anti-Christian," "anti-capitalist," or "anti-American," for domestic terrorism. (1/3)

Thanks to a whistleblower, we now know ICE was inadequately training new agents and teaching practices that violate the Fourth Amendment. On today’s podcast, I spoke with @ryanschwank.bsky.social, who blew the lid off their training failures. youtu.be/tDFe_nmZqXo

While Americans are seeing rising costs in every aspect of their lives, Trump is focused on… 💰 A $1 billion golden ballroom 🔵 Painting the reflecting pool blue 🥊 Hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn for his birthday (1/2)

That's because Trump only cares about his own financial situation.

It makes me so happy to see the beagles from Ridglan Farms on their way to loving homes!

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

BREAKING: Inflation skyrocketed to the highest point in three years because of Trump’s war with Iran.

Consumer prices rose 3.8% annually in April, the highest since May 2023

The consumer price index was expected to increase by 3.7% annually in April, according to the Dow Jones consensus.

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

Good news is rare in Washington these days, so watching countless beagles being rescued from Ridglan Farms was a welcome change. I’ll continue working to ensure that what happened at Ridglan never happens again.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 11(source)

Last minute, I went to thank the volunteers from both groups for their work. I’ll continue to fight for loving homes for all these dogs and all the remaining dogs until facilities like these no longer exist.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 11(source)

I was supposed to volunteer with Dane County Humane Society & @beaglefreedom.bsky.social to rescue the remaining beagles at Ridglan Farms. However, their attorney told me that I wasn’t welcome on their property.

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

To all the moms in Wisconsin and across the country: thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 9(source)

Had a good conversation with senior officials in Secretary Kennedy’s office about making sure that facilities like Ridglan Farms can never misuse dogs again. I believe he agrees, but action is required. He can do this. If a facility has serious violations it should be shut down, period.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 8(source)

When I’m in Wisconsin meeting with constituents, I don’t hear a single person tell me that they want to spend their hard-earned money on a $1 billion golden ballroom. What I do hear is the rising costs of gas, groceries, healthcare & housing. This Administration promised to lower costs. They failed.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 8(source)

Later this month, I will be hosting a town hall in every county across my district! More info at pocan.house.gov/services/upcoming-2026-town-halls.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 7(source)

I’m honored to join Rep. Houchin, @trahan.house.gov, and Rep. Valadao in introducing the bipartisan Campus Lifeline Act, which would give colleges greater access to 988 and the tools to better support students' mental health. (2/2)
