Pete Buttigieg

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

If your representative is voting to cut health care while giving tax breaks to billionaires, they should at least be willing to stand in front of you and explain why.

Again, the president could dramatically lower health insurance premiums TODAY with one phone call to Senate leadership, but he refuses.

Meanwhile, at Davos….

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.

Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.

The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

It is now clear that Trump-style tariffs have objectively failed at delivering manufacturing job growth in the US.

They just make things cost more.

President Trump flipping off an autoworker is just the latest insult after a long line of broken promises to American workers and manufacturing communities.

I’ve seen firsthand how @marypeltola.com puts Alaskans ahead of DC politics and stays focused on improving everyday life for the people she represents. She’ll make an outstanding US Senator and I’m proud to support her in this race.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: Trump "said he was gonna lower costs, he did the opposite. He said he was gonna make healthcare more affordable, he did the opposite. He said that America would become a more peaceable place on his watch. We are seeing instead how he is deliberately stirring up chaos."

"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.

Pete Buttigieg to hold rescheduled town hall in La Crosse LA CROSSE (WKBT) — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will travel to La Crosse on January 16 for a town hall discussion focused on healthcare costs, after rescheduling the event

Looking forward to hitting the road next week, heading to La Crosse, Wisconsin for our first town hall of 2026.

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?

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Understanding 2025 and Being Ready for the New Year We have an opportunity to make 2026 a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused.

As one year comes to a close and a new one is on the horizon, I’m reflecting on the opportunity we have in front of us for 2026 to be a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused.

I’m looking forward to doing my part, and I know you are too.

A quick reminder during this busy travel season to know your rights as a passenger. Please be kind, be safe, and have a great holiday season!

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.

As Jews around the world gather to celebrate Hanukkah, it’s heartbreaking to hear of another deadly antisemitic attack - this time at Australia's Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims and praying for all those affected.

Praying for all those affected and thinking of the people of Providence & the Brown community as we follow this dreadful news. We must never accept that such violence happens at all, let alone routinely, in our country.

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.

Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

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.

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.

Coming up live with @allinwithchris.bsky.social.

It wasn’t even close.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.

Key Republicans are starting to prepare for the inevitable: the departure of Donald Trump from American politics.

So should Democrats.

I'll be on @jimmykimmel.com tonight - tune in at 11:35pm ET!

Congratulations to Eileen Higgins on being elected Mayor of Miami! The first Democrat elected to this position in decades, she understands what politics is about: building a safer, more affordable, and better everyday life.
