Mark Pocan comments on Trump's appointments and praises CFPB actions

Rep. Mark Pocan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin's 2nd district, has shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Pocan, who succeeded Tammy Baldwin in 2013 and has been active in politics since serving in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1999 to 2013, is known for his straightforward communication style.

On December 6, 2024, Rep. Mark Pocan criticized former President Donald Trump by stating that although Trump promised to fight for the public and challenge elites, he ended up appointing "a bunch of his billionaire buddies" to his administration. He compared this action to a magician's sleight of hand. "Trump said he was going to fight for us and take on the elites but ended up appointing a bunch of his billionaire buddies to his administration instead."

Later that day, Pocan expressed appreciation for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after it facilitated the return of nearly $20 million to Wisconsinites who were illegally charged by a credit repair scheme. He commended the CFPB for its efforts on behalf of American citizens. "Thanks to the @CFPB, nearly $20 million is going back to Wisconsinites who were illegally charged by a credit repair scheme."

On December 7, 2024, Rep. Pocan reminded constituents about the Medicare open enrollment period deadline and provided resources for more information. "Today is the last day to sign up for Medicare during the open enrollment period."
