Representative Mark Pocan, a current member of Congress representing Wisconsin’s 2nd district, voiced various opinions on social media platform X on April 2, 2025. His posts addressed topics ranging from political achievements to policy critiques.

Pocan extended congratulations to Senator Cory Booker for his notable achievement in the Senate. "Huge congratulations to @SenBooker for delivering the longest Senate speech in American history at more than 25 hours! Your unwavering dedication and commitment to the American people set a powerful example. Truly inspiring work!" he expressed on April 2, 2025.

Later that day, Pocan criticized the Trump administration's policy changes regarding senior and disabled care assistance. On April 2, 2025, he stated, "The Trump administration’s decision to slash 40% of the staff that help facilitate programs for seniors and disabled Americans, including Meals on Wheels, is a heartless attack by out-of-touch billionaires on seniors and disabled Americans. Don’t let them forget."

In a separate post, Pocan addressed education policy, describing reductions affecting the Department of Education. "Trump and Musk are hacking away at the Department of Education. This will lead to fewer teachers, bigger class sizes, and worse outcomes for our kids. My guest for today's podcast, @rweingarten, President of @AFTunion helps break it down." he remarked, providing insights from American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten on April 2, 2025.
