Pete Buttigieg Town Hall in La Crosse on November 18!

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

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

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

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The Trump administration is canceling the DOT’s rule to get passengers compensation for extreme airline delays - just the latest example of them siding with corporations and against customers.

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr. But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us.

As I said to @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, Trump is running scared. Texans didn't vote for him to kick 17M Americans off their health care, and he knows it. Instead of facing voters, he’s trying to rig the '26 election by manipulating the maps. Help us fight back: secure.actblue.com/donate/gina-...

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Today's jobs report shows 24,000 factory jobs lost in the past three months. Trump’s first term brought a manufacturing recession. Now his reckless tariffs are making Americans worse off, again.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Buttigieg: We have... -The Secretary of Defense texting military strike information -An HHS Secretary who doesn't believe in medicine -An Education Secretary who spoke about the importance of A1, which means she doesn't understand AI -A DHS Secretary who sat on funding for Texas floods for 2 days

Pete Buttigieg: "The thing about politics of fear is the more you give into it, the worse it gets. The only antidote to a politics of fear is a politics of courage."

Pete Buttigieg exposes Republicans who broke their promise not to cut healthcare: "Make sure there is a consequence to that"

Pete Buttigieg now has over 500,000 subscribers on Substack. As far as I can tell, he has more subscribers than any other US politician on the platform. And it's not even particularly close.

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Pete Buttigieg: "We will be more secure when we honor those who serve, no matter who they are, who they love, or how they identify"

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

Strategist explains Pete Buttigieg's appeal: "He's unscripted, it makes it authentic"

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff

Pete Buttigieg: "Democrats are the party of freedom and we shouldn’t be afraid to go out there and say it" (2019)

NEW: VoteVets Action Fund will host a town hall with Pete Buttigieg in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It will be an opportunity for Iowans - including Veterans and Military Families - to come together to discuss the recent wave of policy decisions that have negatively impacted Americans.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

A young Pete Buttigieg shortly after 9/11. Yes, he was brilliant as a teenager, too.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

In praise of Pete Buttigieg. I concur heartily!

If you're curious why Fox News decided to attack Pete Buttigieg tonight, just look at the YouTube comments on Pete's Flagrant interview. They're scared that Pete resonated with this audience:

Advocate - Pete Buttigieg enters the manosphere in marathon Flagrant podcast appearance Pete Buttigieg just stepped into the most chaotic bro zone on the internet — and didn’t flinch. And he didn’t need to change his vocabulary to do it.

Pete Buttigieg on whether America is ready for a gay president:

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.
