A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans stood together to reject Trump’s mob-boss politics. There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game. Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.

"You are not without power." -Pete Buttigieg

It wasn’t even close.

Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is slated to speak at the Detroit Auto Show’s Mobility Global Forum on Jan. 14. www.usatoday.com/story/cars/n...

If this post makes you angry you need therapy.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is very bad. Shame on ABC for caving to these monsters.

If I were South Korea, I would say no more investment in the United States until Stephen Miller is fired.

Kash Patel is a right wing internet troll, so I’m not surprised.

I frequently remind myself that as bleak as things are, there is a version of this timeline where democrats retake federal power and some of these criminal lunatics end up in jail and the rest end up disgraced.

"Some Republicans now say privately that it’s inevitable that Congress will pass legislation directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all files the Department of Justice (DOJ) has related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein." thehill.com/homenews/sen...

GREAT article: “Pete Buttigieg doesn’t pander. He listens. He talks. He uses the word “bullshitting” approvingly. And he offers something that feels rare on the left: a comfort with discomfort. A willingness to meet people where they are, not just where Democrats wish they’d be.”

The irony of how people are responding to this, and totally missing the point. Yes, we do have a huge purity problem. When someone agrees with us on 95% of issues, instead of welcoming them to our side we chastise and scold them for the 5% we disagree on. That’s not a winning strategy.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social says Trump not showing 'leadership we need' in wake of Kirk shooting: Full interview - NBC News

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

💯 Usha is bad. Melania is bad. They both married Nazis & support the Nazi agenda because they are Nazis.

Finally some good fucking news

The funniest possible outcome is Democrats prevent the Texas redistricting, but because they started this war blue states still move forward and Rs lose 10-20 seats by Democrats redistricting.

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

One reason I respect Pete Buttigieg: Pete genuinely listens to critics & constantly evaluates what he believes & why he believes it. He's unafraid to change his mind based on facts & ethics. Even for people who hate him or will never support him, he'll still listen. That's a courage I don't have.

MAGA logic: the Epstein list, which was made by Clinton, does not exist, but Clinton is on the list he made up, and if Trump is on it then it’s because it was doctored, but he’s not on it because he stopped talking to Epstein after he stole his 16-year-old towel girl

Yikes

Last week one of the presidents closest advisors accused him of pedophilia and of using his office to cover it up. Where are the American journalists?

Bernie’s surrogates Susan Sarandon, Cornel West and Nina Turner told people not to vote for HRC and Harris

if people had voted for the nice Black lady, the gays would be dancing with the First Gentleman on the white house lawn today while President Harris worked to get Medicare to cover home Healthcare aides for our aging parents. but this is fun, too, i guess.

How does one person have this much power?

no it’s actually because of the slavery

They want us to be sick. They want us to die.

The Republican health plan has always been: “don’t get sick and if you do, die quickly.”

Is the nytimespitchbot run by the same person here as it was on Twitter? It seems much worse on here.

I don’t agree with the discourse that Bluesky is dying, but it does have some severe problems impacting engagement. I’m blocked by 82,000 people who signed up for a “far right accounts” block list that people fell for. There are no group chats or bookmarks by which were critical on the other site.

Pete was the only candidate who supported expanding SCOTUS, & only he & Warren supported eliminating the filibuster. Others waited until RBG passed. Pete ran on Democratic reform, because he’s always looking at root causes while planning decades in advance. He did so as mayor & as secretary too.

Pete Buttigieg ran on some of the most progressive policies in 2020, and he was also the only one to focus on our democratic foundations. It led him to winning in Iowa and tying in NH. He now has some of the highest approvals in the party and polled strongest against Trump in 2024.

Just a heads-up, this account keeps posting fake quotes, claiming that they're from Pete Buttigieg. 👇 It's weird. I tried ignoring it at first, but the fake quotes are spreading across social media. It needs to stop.

i really hate bernie sanders

Don’t be too hard on Pete Hegseth for plagiarizing his college thesis. After all, he was drunk when he wrote it.

JD Vance is only 39. There are going to be many more popes in his lifetime who hate him.

Oops.

But Chuck Schumer.

It's impressive how Buttigieg always brings the message back to something hopeful. It's tempting to only focus on negativity. But Pete understands: Negativity might convince voters to dislike the other guy, but it won't convince them to like us. We need to get people on our side.

Seen in Chicago (Andersonville).

The Pete Buttigieg Apology Tour Starts Right Now (w/ Manny Fidel)

He is beyond deplorable and basically paying people to support him.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

David Hogg, who was totally unqualified for the role he was elected to, is already too much of a distraction. This is not what the DNC needs.

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:

One-third of our precinct captains leading the Buttigieg campaign in Iowa were former Republicans. That’s right: they turned their backs on the GOP in Iowa to advocate for a gay, Progressive mayor among their friends and neighbors. Isn’t that exactly what we want?

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

It was less than a day.
