Rep. Mark Pocan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin's 2nd district, shared a series of tweets reflecting on recent political events and expressing his viewpoints. These tweets, posted on February 13 and 14, 2025, cover various topics including tax cuts, government layoffs, and a holiday greeting.

On February 13, Rep. Pocan commented on the week's political climate: "This was a hell of a week! Puppet master Elon loomed over Trump in the Oval Office and the House GOP started to figure out how to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Spoiler alert, probably by cutting vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP." The tweet suggests potential funding methods for tax cuts that may involve reductions in essential programs.

The following day, February 14, he shared a simple message acknowledging Valentine's Day: "Happy Valentine’s Day!"

Later on February 14, Rep. Pocan criticized actions involving significant workforce changes: "Musk and Trump illegally fired 200,000 essential government workers. Services we all rely on will soon cease to exist." This statement highlights concerns about potential disruptions in government services due to these alleged dismissals.
