The rent is too damn high. Thrilled to see more affordable housing being built in Madison – let’s keep it up!

Madison OKs affordable housing projects, as report calls for more

A housing strategy review ordered by the city of Madison called for more affordable options. A month later, the City Council approved nearly 200 rent-limited units.

BREAKING! A Dane County Judge just ruled that public employees have the right to unionize throughout Wisconsin. I voted against Act 10 more than 13 years ago, and am thrilled our public servants are able to once again organize and make their voices heard. spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee...

Amazon has repeatedly violated labor standards with unsafe and inhumane working conditions and continues to do so today. This Cyber Monday, consider shopping somewhere else.

As someone who has run a small specialty printing business for more than 30 years, I know firsthand small businesses’ importance to our local community and national economy. Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday!

Always an honor to fight for the American people on the House Appropriations Committee.

As Americans go through the "open enrollment" period for health care, Big Insurance is running a massive marketing campaign to misdirect patients toward for-profit insurance plans called “Medicare Advantage.” Read my op-ed with Wendell Potter below.

Don't Make This Mistake During Open Enrollment | Opinion

Get ready: Big Insurance is about to roll out some big lies.

The Stop Wall Street Looting Act will finally hold these predatory firms accountable and protect workers from being plundered by corporate greed. Will my colleagues on the other side of the aisle join us in standing up for working people? (3/3)

Private equity took over Shopko – a Wisconsin-based retail chain that had stood strong for more than 50 years – buried it in debt, pushed it into bankruptcy, and abandoned roughly 14,000 workers. (2/3)

In Wisconsin and across the country we've seen what happens when private equity firms like Sun Capital raid companies for their wealth and leave workers and communities to pick up the pieces. (1/3)

From 1989 to 2019, the bottom half of wealth holders saw their net worth remain unchanged. During the same time, the top 1%’s wealth grew by nearly 300%. The American people are sick and tired of getting ripped off. We need to tax the rich!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govNov 20(source)

As Chair of the Equality Caucus, I requested a meeting with Speaker Johnson to discuss his bathroom ban and open his eyes to the reality that this policy is cruel, completely unenforceable, and opens the door for abuse, harassment, and discrimination in the halls of Congress.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, I join Americans across the country in mourning all the trans lives lost to violence. Bigotry and hate produces real world harm. Congress must work to protect the trans community, not further demonize them.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govNov 20(source)

Happy birthday, Mr. President. Thank you for all you have done for our country!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govNov 20(source)

Most billionaires pay a lower tax rate than everyday people like teachers & firefighters. The status quo is broken – we need to tax the rich now! I wonder if any of my Republican colleagues agree. 🤔
