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.

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

The judge who ruled Wednesday that he can be deported bowed to pressure from the Trump administration, rather than following clear evidence that supports Mr. Sarsour's release. ICE and the Trump Administration must halt their vicious, unjust crusade against Mr. Sarsour.

We live in a country under Republicans and Trump where working people are barely getting paid enough to survive while the ones getting big raises are the CEOs who take more money than they know what to spend it on. Inequality is warping our economy and society.

Rep. Quigley and I led 41 of our colleagues in a letter calling on Secretary Rubio to work with Israel to ensure the release of Palestinian healthcare workers. They are arbitrarily being detained without formal charges or due process.

Members of Congress and presidents, who can influence the stock market with a single sentence, need to be banned from trading stocks because we have access to confidential information. Using our public service for personal financial gain is called corruption, plain and simple.

Three months ago, in the House Appropriations Committee, I introduced an amendment to prohibit your taxpayer dollars from being spent on Trump's obnoxious golden ballroom. Unfortunately, every Republican voted against it.

Several former beagle constituents freed from Ridglan Farms joined us at the announcement today. Seeing them free to find loving families of their own is a testament to what we can achieve when we work together, and a reminder that there is still more work to be done.

But we also saw the power of people coming together demanding change. This is a nonpartisan issue, and I'm glad to work with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to move this important bill forward.

What happened at Ridglan Farms was a wake up call, not just for our community, but across the country. We saw thousands of beagles confined in inhumane conditions and bred for research.

Today Rep. Langworthy and I introduced the COMPACT Act, which will modernize federally funded biomedical research and end inhumane testing practices on cats and dogs.

FACT: Since 1989, the U.S. economy has added about 51 million jobs. Roughly 50 million of those new jobs were under Democratic presidents. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Happy 33rd anniversary to AmeriCorps! Thank you to the millions of members who have dedicated their time to service and making a difference. I will continue to fight against Trump’s cuts to this program that has helped so many Americans.

As a member of the Congressional Reproductive Freedom Caucus, I stand with patients & providers against political interference in healthcare, because patients face consequences. Let’s be clear: abortion is healthcare and your healthcare decisions belong to you. Not politicians.

Ever wondered why Hispanic Heritage Month goes from Sept. 15 - Oct. 15? It is because many Latin American countries celebrate their independence during this time and it honors "the resilience and determination of the Hispanic community." latino.si.edu/learn/teachi...

House Republicans cancelled today's votes, on top of canceling the last two weeks of September votes. They’ve now cancelled more than 20% of voting days this Congress. What are they so afraid of? Doing their jobs? Angering their constituents? Or getting on Trump's naughty list?

"The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, suggested he was open to sending federal agents to polling places." This would be election interference and it is against the law. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/u...

Diversity is our strength, and this coming month--and every month--we celebrate the multitude of contributions the Latino and Hispanic communities make to our country, our culture and our lives. Thank you for making the 2nd Congressional District a more inclusive and better place.

Medicare's enduring popularity is proof that America can deliver healthcare that works. It's covered seniors for six decades. It's time we cover everyone!

It's not rocket science. If a political leader demands you swear an oath of fealty and suggests you should commit illegal acts to keep them in power -- just say no.

Rep. Mark Pocan @pocan.house.gov · 10/09/2026

So now it's $5,000 bribes that Trump will never deliver to attempt to make voters forget what they are paying for gas and food. What ever happened to those promised DOGE checks? Americans are not fools, we know he lies daily.

Rep. Mark Pocan @pocan.house.gov · 10/09/2026

The U.S. is $40 trillion in debt. Yet Trump is attempting to bribe voters by making it rain monopoly money. He's made such fake promises before that never happened. And a big election bribe didn't work out so well for Elon Musk in Wisconsin.

SNAP food assistance feeds American families & builds resilient communities. Yet Trump continues to spend on monuments while gutting this basic need. Over 3 million Americans have already lost SNAP benefits thanks to Trump, and next month even more Americans stand to lose access to food.

I had fun seeing friends and making new ones while talking about what goes on in Congress at The Waterford at Fitchburg.

I enjoyed my visit to Waunakee Neighborhood Connection and meeting with Executive Director Verónica Castillo. The group focuses on a "neighbor to neighbor" approach to helping families in need.

This weekend I joined Dane4Dogs celebrating the Ridglan beagle survivors, their new forever families and the people who worked tirelessly against alarming animal cruelty to save them. It was a fantastic day at The Boneyard in Madison.
