Rep. Mark Pocan, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district since 2013, recently shared his views on various topics through a series of tweets. Pocan, who succeeded Tammy Baldwin in Congress and has a background in the Wisconsin State Assembly and Dane County board of supervisors, expressed opinions ranging from food distribution to tax policies and legislative powers.
On February 12, 2025, Rep. Mark Pocan tweeted "Release the food!" This brief statement was accompanied by a link to an external resource but did not provide further context within the tweet itself.
Later that day, at 22:28 UTC, he addressed economic disparities in taxation with another tweet: "It's no accident that billionaires have a lower tax rate than teachers and nurses – the tax code isn't built for working people." He announced the second episode of his podcast "With Liberty and Justice for Some," featuring Erica Payne from Patriotic Millionaires discussing necessary changes to benefit working individuals.
On February 13, 2025, at 16:25 UTC, Pocan commented on fiscal authority with this message: "Anyone who’s taken a high school civics class knows that Congress has the power of the purse, not the President." He criticized former President Trump and Elon Musk for allegedly freezing funds legally passed by Congress. Pocan emphasized that political engagement is essential.
