Rep. Mark Pocan, who represents Wisconsin's 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared his views and initiatives through a series of tweets. Pocan, serving since 2013, has been vocal about his party's stance on labor rights and fiscal policies.

On November 17, 2024, Pocan emphasized the Democratic Party's commitment to labor rights and economic fairness by stating that "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."

On November 18, 2024, he invited followers to join him on a new social media platform by tweeting: "Let’s leave this weirdness behind. Join me on BlueSky." This indicates a shift or expansion in his social media engagement strategy.

Later that day, Pocan criticized financial mismanagement at a federal level with another tweet: "Surprise, surprise. The Pentagon failed another audit. Imagine if your business failed an audit 7 years in a row. Would you get more money? The Pentagon shouldn’t either. Time to invest in people, not wasteful military spending." He expressed concerns over continued funding despite repeated audit failures.
