Pete, you have his number. JD is a shapeshifter and truly the smallest man who ever lived.

Pete never took PAC $ or any individual $ above the legally permitted donation. Just stop.
November 14, 2025 at 10:59 PM
That was money that Warren accepted - all $14 million from a wealthy Silicon Valley resident and her PAC. She flunked her own purity test.

What? You mean the part where she didn't pick him as VP only because he was gay? Seems identity focused to me.

Who was the ex wife of a Silicon Valley venture capitalist who got the $ in her divorce.

Self soothing to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Thanks Pete for taking this stand against dark money in politics. It gives the lie to those who claim you are beholden to corporate and PAC $. You were the most consumer friendly and progressive Secretary in USDOT history.

Pete, thank you for raising awareness of the GOP effort to create an all GOP House delegation. And for all your work in preventing it. As the daughter of a Hoosier father, I am thrilled with this result!

The day of Pete's Senate confirmation hearing IIRC.

Hardly a pivot for Buttigieg - he's been opposed to Netanyahu even before he was reelected as PM. From 2019:
November 13, 2025 at 11:39 PM
Pete was reversing that trend; he was begging the GOP House for more funding to hire more but didn't get it until the FAA Reauthorization bill passed in 2024. And those hired with those $$ were DOGE'd by Elon.

During the 2019-20 primary FOTUS said he dreamed about Pete.
November 13, 2025 at 2:55 AM
Oh they are but Pete was reversing that trend; he was begging the GOP House for more funding to hire more but didn't get it until the FAA Reauthorization bill passed in 2024. And those hired with those $$ were DOGE'd by Elon.

Could be Haberman herself. She's the stenographer of Mar a Lago. Her mommy is Jared's PR flack.
November 13, 2025 at 2:43 AM
She's looking at supporting Connie Chen, who is on the SF Board of Supervisors now.
November 13, 2025 at 2:37 AM
She actually is a good friend of Pete's and was supported by his PAC in 2020 when she ran for the House. Pete endorsed her run for Mayor BTW. I donated to her in both campaigns. If she serves 2 terms successfully as Pete did, I could see her running - she has federal executive experience too at DOD.

And mayoral endorsements from his peers who considered him a thought leader. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
For mayors, politics isn't a blood sport: Why we need Pete Buttigieg in the White House
Pete Buttigieg is a role model to mayors. We proudly endorse him from heartland towns, coastal cities and suburban communities across this country.

Wrong. He had more executive experience running South Bend than many of the Senators running and due to his seven years in the Naval Reserves as an Intelligence officer had more foreign policy experience than most of the candidates too. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Exclusive: With 218 foreign policy endorsements, Buttigieg targets a big Biden asset
Pete Buttigieg wins the endorsement of more than 200 foreign policy experts, including veterans of the Obama administration, a key Joe Biden asset.

And damn proud of it. He's a great leader and, having met him several times, an incredible human being.
November 13, 2025 at 1:51 AM
Vote Vets made independent ad buys featuring him as they endorsed him for President. No $ exchanged hands with his campaign. He revived his own leadership PAC after he dropped out for the scandalous purpose of supporting Democratic downballot candidates in 2020. He ceased involvement when at USDOT.
November 13, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Pete was mayor of South Bend until January 1, 2020 - a full time 24/7 job running a city of 100,000 plus citizens. Pete took no PAC $ and took no donations in excess of the $2800 allowed from individual donors. He made required financial disclosures of those donors which are available online
November 12, 2025 at 11:39 PM
No, he beat Bernie in Iowa. It's pretty simple.
November 12, 2025 at 10:51 PM
But he lasted longer in the primary process than most Senators and Governors who ran, raising more $, winning Iowa, and tying in New Hampshire.
November 12, 2025 at 10:51 PM
The sex offender and predator is more concerned about saving himself than making our lives better. Disgusting. And the GOP is enabling this behavior, which is worse.
