Rep. Mark Pocan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin's 2nd district, recently shared a series of tweets covering various topics from personal interests to public policy concerns.

On February 9, 2025, Rep. Pocan expressed his enjoyment of leisurely Sunday afternoons spent with podcasts. He invited followers to listen to the first episode of his podcast titled "With Liberty and Justice for Some." The link to this announcement can be found here.

The following day, on February 10, 2025, he highlighted an international competition organized by FISM, an organization dedicated to magicians worldwide. Rep. Pocan mentioned Erik Tait from the USA as one of the winners at the last competition and humorously advised against playing cards with him unless prepared to lose. More details are available here.

Later that day, Rep. Pocan addressed concerns regarding potential funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He criticized what he referred to as a "bonehead idea" to reduce funding for NIH research aimed at curing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's, emphasizing that such cuts would hinder progress in finding cures.
