As a proud union card-carrying member, I know life is better in a union.

Democracy is of the people, by the people, and for the people; not billionaires. We must end Citizens United NOW.

PrEP is one of the most effective tools we have to prevent HIV. As Chair of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus, I’m honored to join Rep. Don Bacon in introducing a resolution to mark today as National PrEP Day to help raise awareness, reduce stigma, and educate people across the country on PrEP

Sec. Hegseth and the Trump Administration wanting to livestream a public execution - something you would expect from terror groups like the Islamic State - is barbaric and dehumanizing. We are better than this.

When you see higher prices, thank Donald Trump.

Thank you to the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce for hosting me at their annual National Coming Out Day breakfast! If you’re scared to come out and be proud of who you are, you’re not alone. I’ll always be in your corner.

Congratulations to Navi Pillay for being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize! Her decades of efforts to uphold a system of international law and work with the U.N. investigating Israeli genocide against the Palestinians makes this award well deserved.

Yusuf Shanaran, his wife and four children are trapped in their home in the occupied West Bank. Settlers who constructed an illegal outpost to isolate them are attacking the family and destroying their home and have not been arrested. The IDF must intervene to protect Yusuf and his family!

No family should be held captive in their home. Yusuf Shanaran, his wife, & four children, have been trapped inside their house for days now. Masked settlers have attacked them & their home ignoring orders to stop. The IDF has a responsibility to protect this family & their home.

Trump might’ve swapped out who’s paying for his campaign TV ads, but he still spent taxpayer money to cover the cost. He must give taxpayers a refund.

Books serve as a gateway into a new world full of new perspectives, experiences, and adventures. They should be celebrated and read, not banned. During Banned Books Week, support your local public library and check out a book on the banned book list.

DOGE 2.0 is here and it’s just as shadowy and corrupt as before, all thanks to Elon Musk and his cronies. Democrats AND Republicans must investigate this shady group. www.wired.com/story/myster...

A Mysterious Nonprofit Run by SpaceXAI’s Top Lawyer Is Paying the Salaries of Government Workers

The National Design Studio has been something of a successor agency to DOGE. A WIRED investigation finds some of its members are on loan from a nonprofit run by SpaceXAI’s general counsel.

Trump takes the phrase “absolute power corrupts absolutely” to a whole new level. He’s canceled federal investigations, lawsuits, and penalties for over 200 corporations in exchange for donations or partnerships that benefit him personally.

While Americans struggle to afford necessities, Trump is focused on turning his private golf course into Grift David. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thousands of Pakistanis are marching to demand the release of political prisoners, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan. I stand with the Pakistani-American community advocating for human rights, free and fair elections, and the right to protest peacefully in Pakistan.

The "America First" Trump Administration continues its violent crusade against American citizens' civil rights. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

I joined @jayapal.house.gov, @repgreglandsman.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov and other members in reintroducing the Stop Wall Street Looting Act. We need to place guardrails to prevent corporations from taking advantage of smaller companies like grocery stores and retirement homes.

Congratulations to UW-Madison professor Francis Halzen, announced today as the Nobel Prize winner in physics for his groundbreaking Antarctic research into astrophysical particles known as neutrinos, high-energy particles from deep space, under more than a mile of ice in Antarctica.

Justice Alito said he lost friends after he and his colleagues overturned Roe v Wade. Does he think about the women who have lost their lives because of his decision?

Trump attempting an executive order around diesel prices is like stopping a leak with a piece of gum. If Trump actually wants to lower prices, he must end his war with Iran.

Diverting more public dollars from public schools into private schools for the few harms the 90% of American children who attend our public schools. Our public school students should not pay the price for Trump putting private schools first. www.nea.org/about-nea/me...

Note to Trump and his Republican sycophants: Taking healthcare and food away from Americans does not make America great or healthy again.

It's October and provisions of Trump's Big Ugly Bill are taking effect that cut Medicaid and eliminate funding for SNAP food assistance. Why are Republicans supporting taking food and healthcare away from Americans?

Trump's pre-election propaganda campaign is a desperate attempt to make people love him and the GOP despite everything they have done to make life more costly and difficult for Americans. To make taxpayers pay to air this garbage is yet another abuse of power. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Lawmakers call for action on ‘plainly illegal’ taxpayer-funded ads to promote Trump

House Democrats say officials may have illegally misused public funds to pay for president’s ‘narcissistic ego trips’

Fourteen months after going dark because the Trump Administration cruelly cut its services, the dedicated 988 LGBTQI+ Youth Crisis Line has finally been restored.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.gov · last wk.

It's critical that LGBTQI+ youth who call the crisis line are able to speak with someone who is specially trained to meet their unique needs. Thank you to @SenatorBaldwin and my @EqualityCaucus colleagues for their efforts to restore this lifesaving resource.

🎉GREAT NEWS🎉 988 has resumed specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis after Congress forced the Trump Admin to restore these lifesaving services. Trump cruelly cut these services—but CEC founder @baldwin.senate.gov and our members fought back, and got them restored!

I support @JoaquinCastrotx's bill to crack down on these illegal settlements and those who facilitate their construction and expansion.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.gov · last wk.

Israeli settlements are illegal land grabs that are violently displacing Palestinians from their homes. The US must use our leverage to stop settlement expansion and attempted annexation of the West Bank.

Under Netanyahu’s government, settlers are engaged in a violent land grab that’s ripping Palestinians from their land. Sanctions can help stop it.

Starting Oct. 22, a new Trump Admin rule could disrupt Americans’ ability to get lifesaving, affordable medications from licensed pharmacies abroad.
