Floor Speeches
Pocan spoke on the floor 10 times on 10 session days in the 119th Congress.
- House, September 1, 2026, 211 wordsProviding for the Condemnation and Denouncement of Socialism in All Its Forms, and for Other Purposes
This stupid resolution completely ignores the reality of what Americans are worried about today: the rising cost of living caused by the hapless GOP leadership in Congress and an inept White House.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 22, 2026, 187 wordsStop Insider Trading Act
As a Member of Congress, I don't own any individual stocks because, as a byproduct of my job, I get inside information on many publicly traded companies.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 21, 2026, 753 wordsCuban Blockade Is Inhumane
I just got back from a fact-finding trip to Cuba a week ago after having visited the country 30 years ago and 3\1/ 2\ years ago, as well. Let me tell you what I found on this trip.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, December 11, 2025, 142 wordsProtect America's Workforce Act
Earlier this year, Donald Trump did an illegal executive order, stripping a million Federal workers from their collective bargaining rights, rights they have had since 1962.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, November 12, 2025, 181 wordsProviding for Consideration of Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026
Yes, the Federal Government will officially reopen with the House vote today, but here is what won't happen. We won't protect the 22 million people paying more for the ACA or the 15 million people losing their healthcare outright due to Republican actions in the big, ugly law, nor will we stop the healthcare rate increases for everyone in this country.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, September 8, 2025, 623 wordsCondemning Benjamin Netanyahu
I rise today to speak out against the genocide that is occurring in Gaza against the Palestinians.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, April 8, 2025, 466 wordsListening to Our Constituents
I rise to discuss the special election that we had in Wisconsin last Tuesday for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It was an overwhelming rebuke of the Trump-Musk agenda of cutting Medicaid, healthcare, long-term care, education funding, and food assistance to pay for a transfer of wealth of $4.5 trillion from the middle class and those aspiring to the wealthiest in this country.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 6, 2025, 767 wordsParsley
If you have ever had a steak dinner, you have likely seen a little sprig of parsley on the plate. Yes, it is food, but clearly it is meaningless to your dinner.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 5, 2025, 325 wordsSupporting Federal Workers
I thank Mr. Ivey for convening this Special Order hour and for his hard work on behalf of the Federal employees and all workers in his district. As a co-chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I am proud to stand with our essential workers who keep the government running every day.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, January 14, 2025, 201 wordsProtection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025
This is the third week that we are in the 119th Congress and the third week that no bill is before us to lower costs for Americans.
