Mark Pocan, a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district since 2013, has shared several opinions on social media regarding current political and economic issues. Pocan succeeded Tammy Baldwin in Congress and has been an active voice on various matters.

On March 5, 2025, Pocan addressed former President Donald Trump's statements about Social Security. He claimed that Trump is "spewing misinformation about Social Security so he can ultimately justify cutting your benefits," urging the public not to fall for it. The original post can be found here.

In another tweet from the same day, Pocan commented on the state of the economy by noting a discrepancy between interest rates and stock market performance: "'You know, today, interest rates took a big beautiful drop.' You know what else took a big drop? The stock market. By a good 670 points." This tweet is available here.

Pocan also made a brief remark on March 5 regarding unelected bureaucrats with an apparent reference to Elon Musk: "'The days of unelected bureaucrats are over...' like Elon Musk?" The original post can be accessed here.
