Pete Buttigieg: They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

I saw Pete Buttigieg at a event last night. What a smart, caring, and wonderful human. He shared his thoughts on our country and what we need to do. Biggest takeaway was that one day this chaos will end and we Dems need to have a plan after we say, "Now what?" We must move forward, not backward.

With Pete Buttigieg! We were discussing the Pike Street + Clinton River Trail grant funding he awarded to Pontiac when he was Secretary of Transportation. Cameo by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

Mayors across the country are delivering with a model of leadership that our national politics could learn a lot from.

My friend Mayor @justinmbibb.bsky.social is doing exactly that in Cleveland as he begins his second term.

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg sits down with The Tribune Former South Bend Mayor and former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg told The Tribune citizens should not underestimate their own power.

Buttigieg: "There's a reason why some members of Congress won't even hold town halls anymore, and there's evidence from around the world & throughout history that when enough people take to the streets, things begin to change."

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the terminations appear to be retaliation for the group's view points re: vaccine safety/efficacy. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

I think a lot of people who have never made a point in their lives that was heard and received by anyone who didn’t already agree w them have no conception of what Buttigieg is doing hereβ€”aiming at ppl who don’t know what to think yetβ€”and are unfairly lumping him w Concerned Letter Writing Dems.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.

If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Energy bills in US have increased 13% since Trump took office, new report finds The amount of money Americans are paying toward their energy bills has increased since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report.

It's a problem, not a hoax.

Pete Buttigieg shared that a relative who buys health insurance through the ACA, is too scared to open her letter about next year’s premium increases.

When Republicans threaten to take away the tax credits that keep coverage affordable, working people brace for higher costs they can’t afford.

Duffy wants pull-up bars in airports, but won’t require airlines to compensate passengers when their flights are disrupted by carriers??

America: Open your eyes and see what this Administration truly is.

My time with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social reignited my hope for what’s possible when we fight unapologetically for progressive change.

I share Pete's belief that we must reject manufactured division, and focus on our communities’ shared needs. We’ve seen the power we have when we act together.

Let's be clear about how we got here. The Biden Administration and Secretary Buttigieg were rebuilding and expanding the controller workforce after years of shortages.

Trump and Secretary Duffy blew a hole in that progressβ€”and then doubled down with threats, smears, and political pressure.Β (2/3)

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

As someone who is married to someone who has been trying to secure contracts from the FAA to update their systems for the last decade, I can definitively say this did not happen.

I have no idea what he’s talking about here and neither does Pete Buttigieg.

Pete Buttigieg: We have to decide what our health care policy is and yeah, part of that is anti-Trump because Trump like ripping out Medicaid and making your premiums go up by getting rid of the Obamacare subsidies makes health care more expensive for you.
