Mark Pocan, a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district since 2013, has recently shared a series of tweets addressing significant political and social issues. His posts highlight concerns about recent actions by former President Trump and the influence of billionaire Elon Musk on public policy and research.
On February 13, 2025, Pocan tweeted about the dismissal of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member by Donald Trump. He described this action as illegal and urged the public to "speak out & put pressure on Trump to reverse this idiotic, illegal, and illogical decision."
Later that day, Pocan criticized a substantial financial contract awarded amidst cuts to essential programs. In his tweet at 19:32 UTC, he questioned the allocation of funds by stating "$400 million contract while he continues to slash and burn vital programs? Sounds like corruption to me." He also promoted his legislative proposal known as the ELON MUSK Act.
In another tweet posted at 21:38 UTC on February 13, Pocan addressed Elon Musk's impact on cancer research projects. Expressing strong disapproval, he stated "It's pretty f*cked up that part of @ElonMusk's power trip is to halt cancer research projects." According to Pocan, these actions could have dire consequences for public health.
