We just passed the one-year mark of the second Trump administration and Project 2025 is more than halfway complete.

You may have heard a bit about it during the 2024 election, but what’s really in the 900+ pages?

Musk and Trump’s decimation of USAID led to more than 1 MILLION deaths in 2025.

I’ll say it again.

1 MILLION UNNECESSARY, PREVENTABLE DEATHS.

This disgusting choice will be a stain on their legacies forever.

Here’s why I support the Restore Trust in Congress Act to ACTUALLY ban members of Congress from stock trading, not Rep. Steil’s loophole version.

Trump is more focused on acquiring Greenland than on lowering costs for you and your family.

Wisconsin fixed its gerrymandered state legislative maps last cycle, but missed fixing the flawed congressional ones. There’s a legal case up right now that can do that. The WI Supreme Court needs to act now for a fair vote.
Mark Pocan says court should fast-track decision on congressional maps
Wisconsin's judicial system has "no excuse not to" move quickly on an effort to redraw the state's congressional maps, U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan said.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one.

365 days later, nearly everything from groceries, rent, utilities, and healthcare are way more expensive. What a failure.

One year ago, Trump put more than 1,500 convicted criminals back on the street, siding with violent rioters over the police who bravely defended our Capitol.

Here’s a recap of what happened in 90 seconds.

One year into Trump’s second term:
Costs are up 👆
Billionaire tax rates are down 👇

REMINDER: It has been more than 30 days since the FULL Epstein files were supposed to be released. What are they hiding?

Martin Luther King Jr. is best known for fighting for civil rights, but he also championed workers’ rights, took on poverty, and spoke out against the military-industrial complex.

We need to raise the minimum wage.

The Pentagon failed its eighth audit in a row just last month.

It's past time to rein in spending on ineffective programs and end waste, fraud, and abuse!

In 2025, my office secured more than $4 million for constituents through casework advocacy!

We all feel it. Trump’s tariffs are making everything more expensive and the American people are ready for a new direction.

UW Health and Children’s Wisconsin must immediately resume gender affirming care for transgender youth. This care is safe, legal, supported by doctors, and most importantly has the ability to save lives.

I support legislation to ACTUALLY ban members of Congress and their family from trading stocks, not the watered-down version that Rep. Bryan Steil has introduced with a number of loopholes.

Here’s my full explanation.

The Republicans’ budget bill last year, signed into law by Trump, made private jets fully tax deductible.

If you can afford to buy a private jet, you can afford to pay your damn taxes!

BIG WIN! After intense public pressure, including a letter I signed with more than 100 members of Congress, $2 billion for mental health and addiction treatment grants have been RESTORED.
Last night, the Trump administration took a chainsaw to billions of $$$ in mental health and addiction treatment grants that were already approved by Congress.

I led 100 members in a bipartisan letter demanding this lifesaving funding be restored immediately.

The Pentagon has failed its EIGHTH audit in a row. It is the only agency that has NEVER passed an audit.

Today, I signed on to @robinkelly.house.gov's articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

She must be held accountable.

BIG WIN! Last night, @housedemocrats.bsky.social defeated a Republican bill that would allow employers to deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."

Six House Republicans joined us and killed this extreme, anti-worker bill.

Great news! @govevers.wisconsin.gov is launching Wisconsin’s first public child care program for four-year-olds, helping kids get ready for their first year of school.

The cost of childcare is too damn high and I applaud the Governor for addressing this.
