Six years ago, Pete Buttigieg ran on Democratic reform, which included expanding the Supreme Court. He has always understood that in order to make policy, you have to fix the policy making process.

The head of the National Consumers League described Pete as "the most consumer-friendly Secretary of Transportation ever." So we went from the strongest protector of consumers (Pete) to someone who got paid by industry groups to help them fleece consumers (MTV Road Rules Guy).

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

Odd move from the president who worked so hard to convince his base that he was anti-war - but no doubt he'd rather have folks puzzling over this than thinking about his deep bond with Jeffrey Epstein.

Always nice to see high profile politicians choosing to use public transportation.

Are Bernie Sanders and his pals going to obsessively post about this like they did against Pete Buttigieg -who was the guy who expanded consumer & disability rights for passengers-? Or are they going to reveal *again* they don’t actually stand for anything other than their grift?

I’m not watching or promoting Tapper pretending to be a principled journalist, sorry Pete 😷

A longer form of this is the Pete content I’ve been trying to manifest! 🤌 Hoping that if/when he decides to be more active online or run for office again Pete will hire a team of young folks with creative ideas to help him step outside of the usual tried & aging formats.

Pete Buttigieg: “We’re the only country that has a president and calls itself a democracy, where it is even possible that the person who gets less votes could get to be president, and the person who got more votes could lose.”

Republicans should be relentlessly grilled about supporting obscene levels of corruption in the current White House. It shouldn’t even be possible for a democratic president to do this sort of thing.

That was fun. Former Gov Jay Inslee was the moderator. Kinda surprised at the energy in the room. Loud standing O at the start and end. Pete is really into this technology dividend idea.

Pete Buttigieg: “The presidency is not only an administrative office, not only a policy office: it is a moral office.”

The Trump administration is canceling the DOT’s rule to get passengers compensation for extreme airline delays - just the latest example of them siding with corporations and against customers.

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr. But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us. Read more here: substack.com/home/post/p-17…

I stay manifesting Buttigieg-Underwood 2028 🙌
