Pocan Urges Wisconsin Dems to Intensify Fight Against Trump Policies
Wisconsin – U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (D-Town of Vermont) called on Wisconsin Democrats to amplify their efforts in opposing President Donald Trump during a recent gathering. Pocan did not hold back in criticizing Trump’s policies, specifically targeting the reconciliation bill currently under consideration in Congress, labeling it the "big, ugly bill."
Pocan outlined the bill’s potential repercussions, claiming it would slash health care for 16 million individuals, food assistance for 11 million, and education funding for countless others. "He’ll even cut Medicaid by half a trillion dollars because he needs that money for the tax breaks for Elon Musk and his campaign donors," Pocan asserted, emphasizing the negative consequences of Trump’s agenda.
In addition to his policy critiques, Pocan took aim at Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., coinciding with both the president’s birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary. He described the event as one that "only Kim Jong Un or Vladimir Putin could rival," mocking its extravagance.
Pocan also highlighted his outreach efforts, boasting about conducting town halls in Republican-dominated districts, including four within the region of GOP U.S. Representative Derrick Van Orden’s 3rd Congressional District. He criticized Van Orden for not holding any in-person town halls, suggesting that his lack of engagement with constituents undermines democratic values.
As the political landscape heats up, Pocan’s urgent call for unity and resistance among Wisconsin Democrats serves as a reminder of the contentious battles ahead in the fight for progressive policies and accountability in government.
