Nashville's air traffic approach control will go dark for 5 hours tonight due to the Republicans' government shutdown.

Yikes! ✈️

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

“I wouldn’t be doing what I do unless I had hope for the future,” Buttigieg said. “We don’t have the luxury of pessimism or cynicism.” dailyorange.com/2025/10/pete...

New Pete Buttigieg interview dropped. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kia...

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either. My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

I'm seeing a misinformation campaign against Pete Buttigieg. A bunch of accounts have been making false claims that Pete's campaign received money from AIPAC. That is NOT TRUE. I could not find any record of this in the FEC filings. I also asked ChatGPT to double check, and it found no evidence:

Republicans control every branch in Washington. Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on. His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

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.

Buttigieg: The people who are cutting Medicaid right now say that they're not cutting Medicaid. They say, 'hey, all we're doing is making sure that you're eligible.' But what they're really doing is putting up so many pieces of red tape that a lot of people are gonna fall out

Buttigieg: We need a childcare policy where you can afford to have a kid and have paid family leave. That's not something you can throw up your hands and say, 'both sides are not doing anything.' Republicans have stopped paid family leave. Democrats are trying to get it done

Buttigieg: It's kind of weird how Trump came in saying he's the peace guy and then he's posting about making war on Chicago. This guy is not exactly a peacemaker

And forget about treating wheelchair users decently. Trump and Duffy are walking that back too. www.reuters.com/world/usdot-...

Buttigieg: It was so incredibly frustrating the way airlines would treat passengers. We made sure you can get your money back if you get stuck and need a hotel. We started a process to get compensation if you had a delay. One thing I am really pissed about is that Trump's DOT is dismantling that

Wishing Jews around the world a meaningful fast this Yom Kippur. May it be a day of reflection and renewal.

When I worked for Buttigieg he could scarcely look to the left without Hatch Act lawyers getting on his case. How tf am I getting emails like this on the taxpayer's dime.

These obvious customer service concerns should’ve been addressed by airlines & airports decades ago. Wheelchairs literally tossed & broken; no compensation; travelers STRANDED. Sadly, it took WORK to put these policies into place, but DOT Sec Pete Buttigieg got it done in Biden’s term. Ergo…

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

Wise words @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

The biggest obstacle to learning a foreign language as an adult is accepting how stupid you will feel, in public, with other people. If you can move through that you can do anything

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Most of the centre-left parties are looking for their versions of 'progressive patriotism'. Pete Buttigieg focuses on shared national projects and missions David Lammy talks about place and belonging, and his own experience of national occasions & moments

Historically, progressive policy triumphs have used an angle of "here is what we are going to do for you." @petebuttigieg.bsky.social argues we need to bring this back: "The more we are talking about him the less we are talking about you."

Progressives have an opportunity—and a duty—to build a patriotism that is inclusive that contrasts the version offered by the right, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social explains.

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Warning of the danger of accelerating political polarization Pete Buttigieg said the current moment requires two things: “getting offline” and “engaging outside of our bubbles.” www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

"The most powerful political strategy is not about winning arguments, but about creating a shared narrative of hope that invites diverse perspectives into a collaborative vision for the future, recognizing that our common humanity matters more than our differences." - Pete Buttigieg

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

L’Shanah Tovah to everyone gathering tonight for Rosh Hashanah. During this time of reflection and renewal, I wish you a sweet and healthy new year.

'Democrats brought their own national figure to the fight: Pete Buttigieg... “The agenda of Washington Republicans is so unpopular, even here in Indiana they are afraid of losing if they have to run on a fair map,” Buttigieg told the crowd, who erupted in applause.'

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

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.

I recall Elon spreading crazy lies about the Biden admin response to the NC hurricane so egregious that @petebuttigieg.bsky.social had to publicly debunk them. Anybody check his personal social media platform to see if Elon has attacked <checks notes> DOGE for in fact holding up aid to these people?

There's a word for what Trump and his allies are trying to do with this gerrymandering plan...

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

There’s a reason they call it “doomscrolling” and not “joyscrolling.” The longer you’re here the madder you’ll get. Lean on your community. Video chat with friends and talk about the kids, work, or the show you’re enjoying. And then, make plans to *do* something together. Got ideas? Post ‘em below.
