Pete’s really good but really bad at tooting his own horn so I’m doing it for him 😏😇💅Views my own!
Pete Buttigieg in the UK talking about summoning people into a shared national project to face challenges like climate or AI, that can only be faced through collaboration: “What we’re up against as a country is not each other.”

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.”

Pete Buttigieg responds to JD Vance’s racist comments, and talks about how he considers both his Maltese immigrant dad and his mom to be equally American.
“Everyone who is here is part of the same national project.”

Trans people in the US are facing loss of identity, security, healthcare, dignity, & community. Sport is an abysmal issue blown up to push a narrative. We know that Pete cares about trans people but he clearly doesn’t have enough data about it. I trust he’ll educate himself. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🧵Pete is a grown-ass man who can handle criticism if he misses the mark -which luckily is very rare because he’s a thoughtful, erudite guy.
Instead of shutting down real concerns from certain minorities to defend him, we can listen & provide evidence of his work, values & ideas.

Pete Buttigieg wants Democrats to aim for a landslide win.

Pete Buttigieg: “The Trump administration is surrendering to China right and left. [….] If you give those markets up to them, the result is they will win.”

Pete has been talking about the danger of letting the “Chinese model” win as a political system over democracy, for years.

For Pete Buttigieg, in order to help Trump’s supporters fully break trust with him, the discussion has to be in terms of how everyday life gets directly affected by an autocrat and his incompetent team.

Academic discussions of freedom & democracy can be had after establishing those facts.

Pete Buttigieg: “The only antidote to a politics of fear is a politics of courage.”

Pete Buttigieg has been on The Breakfast Club almost ten times, each of them to have a long conversation. Running for President, as Sec of Transportation, not running… he just shows up to communicate with people. And it’s appreciated. More Dem politicians should be interested in doing this.

When it comes to the airline industry, Sean Duffy and Pete Buttigieg are very much not the same kind of transportation secretary.

“I was a tough regulator. […] My replacement is an airline lobbyist.”

Pete Buttigieg winning A rated presidential polls? Must be a day ending in y.

Is this the beginning of the countdown to President JD Vance? Because I’ve never seen Pete Buttigieg dislike someone more, and I’d welcome him getting rid of Vance in 2028.

Pete Buttigieg says: L. F. G. 💪

The only language they know is power.

“I’m not rich, I’m not poor, so I don’t care about the new Republican bill 🤷”

“Putting it into tax cuts for the wealthy is not like investing in roads. It does not pay for itself over time.”

As Pete Buttigieg explains here, ALL Americans will be affected by it.

Listen to Pete Buttigieg: “Being American is a civic identity.”

This is what true patriotism sounds like.

I hope Democrats insist on making it very clear that Republicans are intentionally setting a ticking timeline for their political advantage, without care for its consequences on their country or fellow Americans. That’s not what you do as a legislator when you love your country.

“How little can you care about the people that you serve?”

Pete Buttigieg talking with a mom fighting for Medicaid about Senator Ernst and the moral authority that people have when they face their representatives.

“One of the things that drives me is that nobody will be able to to say that they didn’t know. They know because we are telling them.”
This is how you use your platforms as a popular person in politics in 2025. Pete Buttigieg is doing a great thing by having these conversations.

Pete Buttigieg was live on substack with Reverend Barber yesterday: “(The Big Beautiful Bill) is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, transfers of wealth from the poor to the rich in modern history.”

BUT IT CAN BE STOPPED!

Pete Buttigieg’s message to men about abortion rights: “This isn’t a favor to women. This is all of us pulling together to defend the idea of freedom in this country.”

Pete Buttigieg talking about news on Qassim Suleimani in 2020.
“As an intelligence officer I was trained to ask these questions -before- a decision is made. […] This must not be the beginning of another endless war.”

Pete Buttigieg: ”Many of these patterns (of political violence & authoritarian behavior from elected officials) are not completely novel in the US. […] We need to remember that and learn from people who overcame that and defeated it.”

“It’s not just that I think things need to be explained in everyday terms. It’s that the real value of a policy idea is, did it help in the everyday? So to me it’s not just a communications thing, it’s the actual touchstone of how I think about politics & policy.” Pete Buttigieg
