Rep. Mark Pocan, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district since 2013, recently made a series of statements via social media. His remarks touched on various topics including defense spending, public health, and Black History Month.

On January 31, 2025, Rep. Pocan expressed gratitude to his colleagues for their support in efforts related to defense spending reduction. He specifically mentioned his collaboration with Defense Spending Reduction Caucus Co-Chair Ilhan Omar and other representatives such as Eleanor Norton and Rashida Tlaib. "Thanks to my colleagues for joining me & my Defense Spending Reduction Caucus Co-Chair, @Ilhan in this effort."

Later that day, he voiced strong opposition against the removal of HIV/AIDS content from government websites. As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, he emphasized the potential negative impact on public health and the abandonment of those relying on these resources. "As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, let me be clear: erasing HIV/AIDS content from government websites helps literally no one."

On February 1, 2025, Rep. Pocan celebrated Black History Month by acknowledging the contributions of Black Americans to the country. "Our country is a better place because of the incredible contributions of Black Americans."
