12 years ago today, 20 young children and 6 adults were murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. It is long past time for Congress to stand up to the NRA and pass commonsense gun safety laws that will save lives.

Two years ago, President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law. It ensures that all marriages — including mine — are protected.

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

Immigrants didn’t make your healthcare unaffordable. Trans people didn’t ship jobs overseas. The ultra-rich did. Billionaires scapegoat marginalized people to hide their greed. Don’t fall for it.

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

Time and time again, Congress seems to be able to find the funds necessary to line the pockets of defense contractors while neglecting the problems everyday Americans face here at home. I voted NO to give the military industrial complex another $895 BILLION check.

Pocan, Lee Reject $895 Billion NDAA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representatives Mark Pocan (WI-02) and Barbara Lee (CA-12), co-chairs and co-founders of the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus, released the following statement after vo...

There are many reasons to oppose this year’s #NDAA. One reason is the GOP majority’s insistence on prioritizing right-wing extremism over national defense. We need to allow military families to make their own healthcare decisions.

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

House Republicans are urging Trump to kill Direct File, which lets you file your taxes for free and has saved folks millions of dollars. The only logical explanation for such a move is that they've prioritized campaign donations from H&R Block & TurboTax over taxpayers like us.

The Kroger-Albertsons merger was blocked! A big thank you to Lina Khan and her team at the FTC. Why was this so important? @rbreich.bsky.social and I explain.

The majority of Americans want Medicare for All.

Today is #HumanRightsDay. Let’s continue to fight for freedom and dignity for everyone here at home and around the globe.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govDec 10(source)

The American people are sick and tired of a healthcare system that has failed them again and again. We need to follow the lead of every other industrialized nation in the world and implement Medicare for All.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govDec 10(source)

Our for-profit healthcare system is failing everyday Americans. Repost if you think it’s time for a change.

Trump just said the quiet part out loud! He "can't guarantee" his tariffs (taxes) won't raise prices for American families for food, clothing, cars and more. #Trumpflation

Under current federal law, employers who commit wage theft far too often get nothing more than a slap on the wrist. As an original cosponsor of the Don’t STEAL Act, I’m working to change that! It's time for Speaker Johnson to bring this bill to the Floor. youtube.com/shorts/zeSC_...

BIG NEWS! We received more than $20 million from the Inflation Reduction Act, which I voted for, to increase energy efficiency & workforce training programs in Madison & Fitchburg. Excited to see even more funding coming to our area that will continue to benefit our community.

Thanks to the CFPB, nearly $20 million is going back to Wisconsinites who were illegally charged by a credit repair scheme. Yet another example of the great work the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is doing on behalf of the American people.
