Rep. Mark Pocan, a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin's 2nd district, shared several perspectives via social media on March 27, 2025. Known for his candid communication style, Pocan addressed both international affairs and domestic labor issues in his recent posts.

Rep. Pocan posted on March 27 at 17:39 UTC, expressing his critique on the mishandling of sensitive information. "Raise your hand if you didn’t make classified war plans in a group chat with a reporter today.", he wrote, hinting at inappropriate disclosure practices.

A subsequent post from March 27 at 18:16 UTC focused on significant weapon sales by former President Donald Trump to Israel. Pocan highlighted the conflict's human toll, stating, "Donald Trump is moving ahead with more than $8 billion in weapon sales to Israel. At least 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza, more than 2% of the population." He also noted a waning public and political interest in this issue, mentioning the decline in constituent engagement over time.

Finally, at 19:33 UTC on the same day, Pocan emphasized labor rights, announcing a meeting with prominent labor leader Liz Shuler, "Great to host @AFLCIO President, @LizShuler, with the @Labor_Caucus!" He underlined efforts to combat corporate challenges, specifically referencing activities concerning Elon Musk and the digital currency Dogecoin.
