85 years ago, Ida Fuller received the first ever #SocialSecurity check. Just like Ida, you deserve your full Social Security benefits because it’s your damn money. I'm a proud co-sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act, which would extend & improve this program for years to come.

Despite what the Trump Administration is claiming, Head Start centers have informed us that their funding is STILL PAUSED. We sent this letter to the Trump Administration today to demand they restore funding for Head Start immediately.

This is an attack on public education. Trump is funneling taxpayer dollars from public schools to private schools, many of which have lower standards & worse student outcomes. This will hurt students & further overburden public school teachers.

Trump signs sweeping executive order to expand school choice

The White House also announced that Trump signed an executive order aimed at “ending radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling.”

10 days into the new Trump Administration and all we’ve got is confusion and chaos. Nothing yet on lowering costs…

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 30(source)

It’s always great to get out of D.C. and spend time with folks in the district to chat about what's on their mind!

My heart aches for victims of last night’s tragedy. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts.

Live updates: Authorities believe there are no survivors after a midair crash in the Washington, D.C., area

A regional jet carrying 64 people collided in midair with a Black Hawk helicopter as the plane was approaching a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night.

Great to tour the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans' Hospital! I will always fight like hell to ensure that our veterans have access to the best healthcare possible, and against any efforts to privatize the VA or cut hard-earned benefits.

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

Trump's chaos and confusion shortchanged Wisconsinites by $100m in needed funds today alone. This isn't amateur hour. People's livelihoods are at stake. Trump MUST get these funds out the door immediately.

Wisconsin waiting on more than $100M in federal funds processed through online portals

As of Wednesday, Wisconsin state agencies had received just about $1 million of the $128.7 million requested this week through online portals.

Trump tried to cut healthcare for 70 million Americans, strip funding from law enforcement and more. Now they're reversing course. This is what happens when we make our voices heard!

@dol.gov reports that 14.3 million workers were union members in 2024. That’s over 14 million workers who are organizing and fighting back like never before. Let’s break it down: 🧵(1/6) www.bls.gov/news.release...

I stand with @govevers.wisconsin.gov and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul who are joining a coalition of states to sue the Trump Administration for illegally withholding federal funding (a.k.a. your tax dollars) to communities across America. This is the action we need!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 28(source)

Just over a week after taking the oath of office, Trump, the Grifter-in-Chief, violated the Constitution again by halting funding for federal grants, loans, and other financial aid with zero warning and zero guidance. Here’s my full statement.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 28(source)

Trump and Congressional Republicans are meeting behind closed doors with billionaires to discuss new ways to cut their taxes even further. One of the options on the table is by cutting your healthcare. Tell them no!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 28(source)

Folks are asking what we can do about all of Trump’s chaotic & cruel orders. Republicans run the House & Senate & refuse to work with Democrats. We NEED to make our voices heard. If you or family live in GOP areas, call your elected officials & shame them into reversing course.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 28(source)

Trump’s unprecedented decision to suspend ALL federal grants, loans, & other financial aid will have a devastating impact on EVERY community across the country. Congress has the power of the purse. This blatantly unconstitutional order should not stand.

Trump administration orders federal funding freeze on all public loans, grants and more aid

The freeze could have wide-ranging implications, with the White House noting that $3 trillion was spent in 2024 on federal assistance programs.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govJan 28(source)

Shame! These people swore an oath to the constitution, not to whatever president happens to be in power. They were doing their jobs and Trump, a convicted felon, fired them for it.

Acting attorney general fires prosecutors who worked for special counsel Jack Smith

Smith had resigned earlier in January.
