Rep. Mark Pocan, a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district since 2013, recently shared his activities and views through a series of tweets. These tweets provide insight into his engagements within the district and his perspectives on current political issues.
On February 21, 2025, Rep. Pocan tweeted about his busy week in the district. He noted that he had attended a town hall hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union, where "not a single Republican who was invited bothered to show up." Additionally, he mentioned meeting with scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, visiting a local Head Start program, and hosting a press conference.
Later that day, Rep. Pocan expressed disappointment over the absence of Republicans at the town hall in another tweet.

On February 22, 2025, Rep. Pocan addressed broader economic issues in another tweet. He criticized actions by Trump and Musk for slashing government agencies' budgets as part of securing funds for tax breaks for billionaires. He argued that this was not about reducing waste but rather about enriching "wealthy elites vs. normal people."
