PEPFAR is a cornerstone of global health progress and U.S. diplomacy, with bipartisan support spanning decades. My letter to Secretary Rubio with @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social and 109 other House Democrats urges him to restore this vital funding before even more people needlessly die.

If you get screwed by a bank, the CFPB has your back. It doesn’t care who you voted for. Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of our government won’t help you or me, just his billionaire buddies who screwed you over in the first place. x.com/jmargetta/st...

NIH funds groundbreaking research to help cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and other diseases that rob families of loved ones. This bonehead idea to cut its funding won’t make Americans better off, only makes finding a cure that much further away. www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...

UW-Madison says NIH funding cuts will delay 'lifesaving' research for cancer, Alzheimer's

UW-Madison said reductions in NIH funding will "ultimately harm the livelihoods of real people across Wisconsin and the country."

Elon Musk gets $20+ billion in federal contracts while he slashes and burns the federal government. My ELON MUSK Act will prevent “special government employees” like him from ripping off American taxpayers. www.wisn.com/article/wisc...

Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan is taking on Elon Musk with a new bill proposal

The ELON MUSK Act would ban federal contract for "special government employees"

It looks like Elon Musk wants your Social Security number and may be coming for your benefits next! Stop the Elon Grift!

DOGE follows longtime Musk pattern — and turns attention to Social Security Administration

There are differing views among those close to the Elon Musk-led group about exactly how far to go with cuts.

This week in Washington, Trump said we should take over Gaza and Musk shut down USAID. I've announced plans to introduce the ELON MUSK Act to fight back. Watch below: youtu.be/gJrptYrDtSA

Today, I stand with Rep. Robin Kelly and @repbonnie.bsky.social in recognizing National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. As Chair of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus, I remain committed to ending disparities around HIV & AIDS prevention and improving care for Black communities.

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever. USAID was audited three months ago. Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 6(source)

I also speak with @raskin.house.gov on the importance of ending gerrymandering. Hope you enjoy it!

BIG NEWS! I’m launching a new podcast: With Liberty & Justice for Some. My first guest is Wendell Potter, a former insurance executive at Cigna & whistleblower who has since dedicated his life to exposing the health insurance industry, including Medicare Advantage. open.spotify.com/show/3IYXVnL...

My bill will close this loophole and stop "Special Government Employees" like Musk from cashing in on government contracts while pulling the strings of power.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 6(source)

Federal employees can’t use their positions to line their pockets. It’s illegal. It’s corruption. It’s theft from taxpayers. But apparently, if you're Elon Musk, the rules don’t apply. That's BS! youtube.com/shorts/H02kL...

Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act (full name is Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act) which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govFeb 6(source)

This unelected billionaire is grifting American taxpayers—trying to cut vital programs just so that he can get an even bigger tax break. Stop the grift! Stop Elon! www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Wisconsin Democrats join push back on Elon Musk federal 'power grab'

Wisconsin’s Democrats on Capitol Hill are becoming increasingly vocal on Elon Musk’s efforts to overhaul the federal government.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk has been bulldozing through the federal workforce. To all the selfless civil servants, our message is this: America needs you, and we have your back. youtube.com/shorts/xbrCx...

Know anyone on Medicare or Medicaid? Elon Musk is one step closer to accessing your personal information and deciding what healthcare you might be able to get.

Trump has dumb ideas every day, but this might be the dumbest of the dumb things he has said. www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...

Trump says the U.S. will 'take over' Gaza and relocate its people. What does it mean?

It wasn't immediately clear what legal authority Trump would have to execute his proposals, and they would likely be met by fierce resistance from Palestinians and from regional Arab countries.
