Persuasion isn't about saying "I told you so" - it's about bringing people together to make things better.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

We have to prepare for the day when Donald Trump will permanently leave the White House. And, even more importantly, the day after that.

It matters to have leaders who care about the right things - as I was reminded during my last flight out of Pittsburgh International Airport. Here's why.

JD Vance has asked for another chance. We literally can't afford it.

In person, we're usually different - and better - than we are online.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

If I said we have a broken political system, it'd be the least memorable thing I said all day. We all know it. We all say it. The question is: Why do we act like it isn't? It can't go on like this.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to support Cait Conley last night in Tarrytown — the energy was tremendous.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Not every “Secretary Pete” is the same.

After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.” The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.

How can they justify leaving right now? Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment. Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home.

Thank you to the nearly a thousand New Mexicans who showed up yesterday in Las Cruces! Electing independent-minded, honest, courageous, compassionate leaders like Gabe Vasquez and Deb Haaland is a big part of how we will make our politics - and our country - better for the future.

252399357

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

While too many in Congress are absorbed in partisan combat, Gabe Vasquez has stayed focused on solving problems and helping his constituents. Time and again, he has set politics aside to deliver for New Mexico. I was excited to join him at today's town hall - and am proud to be in his corner.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

The dangers of artificial intelligence have become an enormous issue - yet the White House has been so passive that even the AI companies themselves are asking what it will take to get government to step up and establish safeguards.

Tucson is fired up! Thank you to everyone who came out to support JoAnna Mendoza in this critical race.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

It was great to meet with @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and the young volunteers who are fueling her grassroots campaign. They are knocking on doors and organizing their communities because they understand how much their futures depend on stepping up in the present.

L’Shanah Tovah to everyone celebrating the first night of Rosh Hashanah. Wishing you a sweet New Year filled with peace, happiness, and prosperity.

Today's numbers show inflation remains objectively worse than it was when Republicans took over. This is a direct result of Trump and the GOP's decisions - the Iran War, the tariffs, the corporate tax giveaways. Time for a change.

It’s difficult to believe that twenty-five years have passed since the devastation of 9/11 changed so much in our county and our lives. In the response, we also saw the best of America.

581861236

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

JD Vance knows better than to sell yet another false promise to the millions of Americans hurting in this unaffordable Trump economy.

Thank you to the @steelworkers.bsky.social for welcoming me into your headquarters over Labor Day Weekend! I appreciate your hospitality - and the phenomenal organizing that you have been doing across the country.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

On a recent trip, I got to talking with a young officer, newly commissioned from one of our military academies. He shared how Washington politics is impacting his choice to serve in the military. It's a conversation that’s stuck with me - and I want you to hear what he had to say.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

This is the message I want to share with you before this Labor Day is over.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Gas and diesel just hit the highest prices ever for a Labor Day weekend - a direct result of this president’s decisions. It doesn't have to be like this.

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Thank you to the Ohioans who spent their Labor Day Sunday with me and Mayor Aftab Pureval! I enjoyed getting to meet you all in Cincinnati — and I was energized to see a crowd so fired up to fix our broken political system and elect strong leaders this November.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

There is no place for political violence in our country. I’m grateful that Amy Acton is safe and thankful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly today. Attacks like this cannot just be the price you pay for running for office. This must never become normal.

Gloria Steinem was an icon and a trailblazer. Her advocacy - from championing reproductive freedom, to fighting for workplace fairness - moved our country forward. All of us can and should draw on her legacy of leadership and advocacy to strive towards making America a better place.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Republicans promised to "drain the swamp." Then they gave us an all-time high tide of Washington corruption, while the only thing they've drained is the Reflecting Pool.

President Trump tried to kill the single biggest transportation project in America — the Hudson Tunnel project — for nakedly political reasons, eliminating tens of thousands of jobs.

There will not be another like the Queen of Country, Dolly Parton. Her music spoke to millions across generations, including in our family.

It was great meeting so many voters in Detroit and seeing the energy behind the coalition that will win this November.

Nearly two weeks after severe storms, thousands are still without power in Gary, Indiana - and they need relief. Please consider making a contribution to the Greater Gary Fund to support the ongoing disaster response: legacyfdn.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=5554

Thank you, South Carolina, for such a warm welcome! It was inspiring to spend time with leaders and voters across the state who believe in building a better future.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Republicans are losing because they can't run on their record. They can't run on covering up the Epstein files. They can't run on cutting Medicaid. They can't run on stripping SNAP or imposing tariffs. Americans see what is happening - and we are hungry for change.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Whether it's a trade war with Canada or an actual war with Iran, the pattern is the same: Americans are paying the price for the President's choices.

765182064558

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Mortgage rates are way up. Home construction is down. Rents are astronomical. All of this is worse since Trump took power, because of the tariffs and the Iran War.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Our service members are paying the heaviest price for Trump’s new Middle East war. The very least he can do as Commander-in-Chief is support them, not insult them.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

There’s no such thing as a permanently “red” state, and that's certainly true of Indiana. I've seen how great Hoosier Democrats can surprise the pundits and win, in uphill districts and statewide.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I first met @rebeccaforwi.bsky.social at a town hall in La Crosse back in January, where people were incredibly discouraged by Derrick Van Orden’s refusal to face his own constituents. Rebecca will never turn her back on the people she serves - and I’m proud to support her in this critical race.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

@lukebronin.bsky.social has the energy and vision that Democrats need in Congress, and I'm proud to be counted among his supporters in this campaign. He's ready to get to work to fix our broken political system and deliver for his community. Onward to November!

6822134

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Most of us actually agree on the biggest things we must do to make life better in this country - despite what the people in power right now want you to believe.

693169743

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

The stakes are high this November - and people from across the country are watching to see if we'll come together to win. I know we will.

702268440

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

The fact that the system is broken is so obvious that it has become a cliché when politicians say it. So why aren't we taking the necessary big swings to fix it?
