Pete Buttigieg will be at this summit in London on Friday. Mark Carney, Keir Starmer, and Jacinda Ardern are attending. Glad to see that the United States will have our most brilliant voice representing us there.

The former U.S. transportation secretary spoke at Duke University calls out social media for being divisive and was asked about his political future.

Carl Sagan didn't live long enough to see this prediction of his come true, but it's coming true right now, all around us. "A combustible mixture of ignorance and power" pretty much defines MAGA.

Pete was the most progressive, pro-consumer, & pro-union secretary of transportation we’ve ever had. He provided paid leave, & insisted city workers have a raise, he used innovation, & was one of the first climate mayors. He ran on expanding SCOTUS, & his policies were also progressive, paid for. 👇🏾

Here then... Pete was in 🇨🇦 and made many of us 🥰

I heard the news that Jimmy Kimmel will go back on the air. Regular people spoke out and made that happen. Pete was right. People are much more powerful than people in power want them to believe. #Buttigieg

Holy moly!!! I knew Pete Buttigieg was popular, but I hadn't thought he was approaching Obama-level popularity 🤯 Pete and Obama are both at +13 net favorability 😯

Republicans know that if they have to face voters on their record, they’ll lose. Proud to stand with Hoosier Democrats yesterday to say politics doesn’t have to be about these absurd games. It should be about you, and about making everyday life better.

CBS and Colbert answer the cancellation of Kimmel.

Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, an Indiana native, spoke at a rally at the Statehouse today to oppose a Republican-led effort to redraw Indiana's congressional district map.

In this house we defend Pete Buttigieg!

Did you acknowledge when Senate Democrats blocked this from happening? In March of….this year. Did you stay silent, but still continue to rant that Democrats throw trans people under the bus? www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...

James Talarico leaves Fox News host speechless

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

We need to be reminded of this every day. He revealed what a despicable human he is on that day.

On a day when the president declared war on an American city, I went to see Pete Buttigieg live in Seattle and heard a man talk intelligently and compassionately about the moment we’re in. It was like a break in a heat wave

This is hilarious!

Tonight, Pete did this interview about the Trump administration rolling back consumer protections. (And you can tell Pete is really at the airport, because you can hear a baby crying in the background. But he never misses a beat. He's the best. 😎) youtu.be/uhyFjijG1GA?... #Buttigieg

Daily Beast: "'The DOT's agenda reads like it was copy-pasted directly from Airlines for America, the lobbying arm of the largest carriers,' said William McGee, a senior fellow for aviation at the American Economic Liberties Project." www.thedailybeast.com/buttigieg-bl...

Fun Fact: During Pete's time as Transportation Secretary, over 920,000 construction jobs were created in the US, hitting record levels - surpassing the previous peak from two decades ago. But in the latest jobs data, construction jobs seem to have stopped growing under the Trump administration.

As a parent, I say this with my whole chest: these guys are batshit crazy.

For many years I have asserted that we are witnessing the endgame of a movement which began as opposition to FDR’s New Deal. You cannot find a better 7-minute summary of this historical arc: open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I've noticed that Leftists get really, really angry when told their vote actually has consequences.

Sean Duffy is weirdly obsessed with lying about Pete Buttigieg's record. Here's what Pete did to improve air traffic control:

In other words he did not “articulate” a position on arming Israel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On a scale of 0 (no concern) to 10 (hopeless), how concerned should we be about American democracy? Pete Buttigieg says he would put it at "north of 5." He says our democracy was already not responsive enough, even before Trump's autocratic moves.

Nice! Pete Buttigieg is ranked at #14 on the top 20 list of Substack influencers in the US. I don't see any other politicians in the top 20. There are a lot of political commentators on the list, but not politicians.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

Pete Buttigieg responds to JD Vance’s racist comments, and talks about how he considers both his Maltese immigrant dad and his mom to be equally American. “Everyone who is here is part of the same national project.”

The NY Post manufacturing BS claims against DEI? I am shocked, I tell you. 😜😂 www.snopes.com/news/2025/08...

Pete Buttigieg Sums Up How Trump Makes Our Lives Worse In Refreshingly Simple Way . Via @yahoonews #TeamPete #PeteButtigieg #Politics 🇺🇸 🗳️

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service. Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

In other words: we are paying for the tariffs

Aw, nice post from Chasten 💙 #Buttigieg

Pete's answer to this question is the best I've heard from anyone. #Buttigieg

It's cool, NPR spoke to a Stanford researcher about how AI will impact our workforce. They started by playing a clip of Pete Buttigieg talking about this. And the researcher was like, "Yeah, he's spot on." It's worth a listen: www.npr.org/transcripts/...

You can scream all you want that you think the federal government should protect trans people. I think they should! But have you seen the current US president and congress? Do you think encouraging them to make policies and laws about trans people is a good idea? I certainly don't.

Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein files…. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job

Never heard of a secret deal wherein the DOT Sec at the time is getting these types of headlines... futurism.com/buttigieg-te... Having said that.... curiosity on this end...your description says, "USA Today bestseller"....what was said bestseller?

EXCLUSIVE: I sat down with Pete Buttigieg today. This interview is different from most. It was about Pete the person, not the politician. We spoke about him, his upbringing, what he sees as the most important issues. I also asked him about his recent answer on Trans athletes. Watch it all today:

Thank up Texas Democrats for fighting!

I think Ezra Klein is spot on here. Watch the whole clip. 👇 "I don't know if America is ready for a gay President. Is it ready for Pete Buttigieg? I think that's going to be a different question."
