Rep. Mark Pocan, a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district, shared a series of tweets on January 28, 2025, expressing his concerns about the actions and policies of former President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans. These tweets reflect Pocan's perspective on current political dynamics and call for public engagement.

In a tweet posted at 18:33 UTC, Rep. Pocan addressed the impact of Trump's orders and the refusal of Republican-controlled House and Senate to collaborate with Democrats. He urged constituents in GOP areas to "make our voices heard" by contacting their elected officials to reverse these policies.

Later that day, at 20:28 UTC, he tweeted about a meeting between Trump, Congressional Republicans, and billionaires discussing potential tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of healthcare funding. He encouraged followers to "tell them no!" in response to these proposals.

At 22:37 UTC, Rep. Pocan criticized Trump for allegedly violating the Constitution by halting federal financial aid without warning or guidance shortly after taking office. He referred to Trump as "the Grifter-in-Chief" and provided a link to his full statement regarding this issue.
