Pete Buttigieg

I’m going live on Instagram at 1:30pm ET with TX State Rep. @ginaforaustin.bsky.social to talk about how we can push back against Republicans' obvious plan to disempower voters.

Share any questions for her in the comments below.

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.

The job market is showing signs of weakness as Trump's tariffs take effect U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, according to a report from the Labor Department Friday, as the unemployment rate inched up to 4.2%. Job gains for May and June were also revised sharply ...

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.

Had a great conversation last week with some of the creators who are helping make sense of the moment - and providing followers with insights and connection in this troubled time for American politics.

Chip in today! Aaron Ford is running to defeat the most vulnerable GOP governor in the country. Will you pitch in now to help him flip this seat blue?

If you’re able, please chip in to help build his campaign:

I'm proud to support @aarondfordnv.bsky.social to be the next governor of Nevada!

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

11 people injured and suspect in custody after ‘random’ stabbing in Traverse City Walmart, officials say | CNN Eleven people were injured in a “random” stabbing by a suspect man with a folding knife-style weapon at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, Saturday, according to the Grand Traverse County sheriff.

Along with the whole Traverse City community, Chasten and I are shaken by the awful and senseless violence at Walmart earlier today. We’re thinking of everyone affected and hoping and praying for speedy recovery for all those who were injured.

Sending my best to a true public servant and fellow Midwesterner, Governor Tony Evers, on his announced retirement. I saw up close his commitment to doing the right thing for Wisconsinites - and countless lives are better today because he stepped up to serve.

🚨 @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on Trump's handling of Epstein:

"His response...has revealed how gullible he wants to think his own base is."

Is there a list?

"What I know is...there's enough of a there there that they said they would push it out and then they won't."

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

Their policies are already so unpopular, it’s no wonder congressional Republicans delayed the most harmful impacts until after the next election.

All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.

Cost of Obamacare expected to soar as subsidies expire and insurers hike premiums People who get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see increases of more than 75% each month, one expert said.

Another thing Trump is actively making more expensive: our health insurance premiums.

Trump promised to cut prices on day one. Instead he increased them - on purpose.

We Hold These Truths

More than ever, Americans must remain grounded in the founding principles of our republic. I'm proud to be among those from across the political spectrum supporting the @weholdtruths.bsky.social to remind us of the values we hold in common, and to help make the Constitution accessible to everyone.

Hill Country flooding: Here’s how to give and receive help Catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country has killed 79 people. Rescue crews are searching for missing girls from Camp Mystic. Here is a guide on how to help those affected.

As heartbreaking news continues to emerge from central Texas, @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social and I are thinking of everyone affected and grateful for the extraordinary work of first responders.

Here are some ways all of us can help:

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!

249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

It’s not too late to take action. Call your representative at 202-224-3121 to tell them to vote no.

This Family is On the Front Lines of Trump's Push to Cut Health Care “Nobody will be able to say they didn’t know.”

What matters most is the harm that will be done to people’s lives if Trump’s budget becomes law. I'm grateful to Stacy for talking with me yesterday and sharing her story about just how much is at stake for her family.

Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.

As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.

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.

This bill would kick millions off their health insurance, and thousands will even lose their lives - unless we stop it in its tracks.

Some Republicans are breaking ranks, showing it's not too late. Time to speak up!
