Here’s your weekly update on what we did in Congress!

The Supreme Court upholding the TikTok ban is very disappointing. I voted against the ban and hope it can be saved in some way. In the meantime, I’ll still be around on my other social platforms.

Remember this when Trump inevitably tries to take credit for our strong economy.

We all know that PBMs are raising drug costs but now we have even more data to back it up.

PBMs made more than $7B marking up specialty generics: FTC

The three biggest pharmacy benefit managers made more than $7.3 billion over five years marking up the prices of specialty generic drugs for cancer and other conditions.

It should be free for every American to file their taxes. I'm honored to lead this letter with Senator Elizabeth Warren & more than 130 of our colleagues calling to expand the IRS’s Direct File program. Direct File is efficient, user-friendly, & secure. Can't say that about the other companies.

Elizabeth Warren

Elon Musk and DOGE want to create a mobile app for you to file your taxes for free with the IRS. I led over 140 members of Congress in letting Trump's nominees know that the IRS already has an easy program to file your taxes for free called Direct File. And we should expand it.

When President Biden was sworn in, our nation faced the worst pandemic in a century & the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. But we turned it around! I will always be proud of the fact that we created more than 16 million jobs & the lowest unemployment in 50+ years.

I’ve been calling for a ceasefire and a hostage release for more than a year, and I’m glad it is finally happening. To achieve lasting peace in the region, this deal must hold, and negotiations for a proper, two-state solution must begin in good faith.

Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal reached: officials

An Israeli official said there is optimism that a deal could be announced by Thursday at the latest.

Thank you, President Biden, for righting the wrongs of the past. The Cold War is over and it’s time we move past this outdated view. Better late than never.

Biden administration removes Cuba from state sponsors of terrorism list

The Catholic Church had been negotiating with Cuba to free hundreds of political prisoners, many of whom were jailed following unprecedented protests in July 2021.

Great news! Wisconsin has just received $14 million in clean energy and biofuels grants from the Biden-Harris Administration.

The House GOP's trans sports ban would subject girls as young as four to invasive physical inspections of their private parts by adult strangers. Yes, really. Republicans should focus on lowering costs instead of a bill that puts ALL girls at risk.

Trump campaigned on shaking things up. Instead, he’s doing a bait-and-switch before his presidency even begins.

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

The Democrats are the party for stronger unions. The Democrats are the party for raising the minimum wage. The Democrats are the party for working people.

A reminder: Democrats were the ones who banned hidden junk fees on tickets, hotels, airlines, and other areas that affect everyday Americans!

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

President Biden and Democrats in Congress passed the Social Security Fairness Act, protecting and expanding social security for millions of public servants (like teachers and firefighters) across the country! We will always fight to protect social security because it’s your damn money.

Just a reminder that the US added jobs every single month that President Biden was in office, which no other president ever achieved since the government started collecting data in 1939. In total, more than 16 million new jobs were created under the Biden-Harris Administration.

For years, I co-chaired the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus with Representative Barbara Lee. As Barbara passes the torch, I look forward to working with Representative Ilhan Omar to cut the Pentagon's waste and reallocate funds for critical programs that benefit our constituents!
