A 10% cut to CDC staffing! So when egg prices are at an all-time high - and increasing - due to the bird flu, this is Trump's response to helping consumers?

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 14(source)

So… Musk and Trump fired 1,000 employees at the Department of Veteran Affairs which provides veterans with health care. Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our nation’s veterans. Who the hell is asking for this?

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 14(source)

It's like Elon Musk and Donald Trump are asking for a nuclear incident. We need to take the keys away from them before people get hurt, or worse, die! www.reuters.com/world/us/swe...

If you’re a mega-rich donor, Republicans have your back. If you or someone you know are one of the tens of millions of Americans who rely on these essential services, they don’t give a f*ck about you. (2/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 14(source)

The House Republican majority is pushing their new budget that will cut more than 1 TRILLION dollars including Medicaid and SNAP. (1/2)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

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

This was a hell of a week! Puppet master Elon loomed over Trump in the Oval Office and the House GOP started to figure out how to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Spoiler alert, probably by cutting vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

OOPS: House Republicans just admitted that Social Security is next on the chopping block. They want to give the ultra-rich a $4.5 trillion tax cut — and make middle-class families foot the bill.

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

$400 million contract while he continues to slash and burn vital programs? Sounds like corruption to me. Time to pass my ELON MUSK Act!

Trump illegally fired a member of the NLRB, a nonpartisan board that helps working people stand up to abusive employers. Unacceptable! Join us by speaking out & putting pressure on Trump to reverse this idiotic, illegal, and illogical decision.

ICYMI: Donald Trump issued an unprecedented and illegal attack on the National Labor Relations Board by firing a Democratic Board member. He’s blatantly violating the law to attack workers’ rights. That's why we led 265 bipartisan members calling on Trump to #ReinstateWilcox

Politics isn’t a spectator sport. Let’s organize and make our voices heard.

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

Anyone who’s taken a high school civics class knows that Congress has the power of the purse, not the President. That hasn’t stopped Trump & unelected billionaire Musk from illegally freezing funds that have been passed into law.

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

It's no accident that billionaires have a lower tax rate than teachers and nurses – the tax code isn't built for working people. On the second episode of my podcast, I speak with Erica Payne, President of @patrioticmillionaires.org on what we need to do to unrig the tax code.

Release the food!

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

There's an incredible Congressional tone deafness to the moment that we're in. We've got agencies being dismantled by an unelected billionaire and a guy named Big Balls. Meanwhile, Congress is raking leaves as a forest fire roars behind us.

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

While Elon Musk tries to gut the federal government, he JUST received ANOTHER contract worth more than $38 million! My ELON MUSK Act would stop this grift!
