Democrats have to explain what we're trying to build, not just what we're trying to block.

Thanks to everyone - of all ages - who showed up on a Saturday to knock on doors and make sure our excellent Democratic candidates win up and down the ballot this November.

This “$5,000” thing is fooling no one. But it has made one thing clear: Republican desperation at the 1-month-out mark.

It was a beautiful day to be at the Deerfield Fair! A big thanks to @maggiefornh.com for showing me around and to Rockingham County Democrats for the warm welcome.

We owe it to our children to act - in these uncertain and pivotal times - so that they can live in a better future.

Feeling energized and hopeful after joining Congressman Chris Pappas, Stefany Shaheen, and Cinde Warmington to rally in Rochester last night. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their Friday to join us.

Granite Staters are energized by the campaign @chrispappasnh.bsky.social is running! It was great to join him in Manchester today to meet with volunteers and hear about the work they’re doing on the ground. I’m proud to be in Chris’ corner.

It feels very good to be back in the Granite State. Thanks to @stefanyshaheen.com for showing me a few great spots in downtown Manchester this morning — and a big thanks to everyone who came up to say hello, as well!

When my kids grow up and look back at the 2020s, I want them to see that I worked hard to make their world better.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

When Linus asked me how he could make the world a better place, it made me think: What could the world look like if more adults asked that question every day?

I worked with leaders on both sides of the river as Secretary of Transportation to help get funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Project across the finish line. For about 20 years, people only talked about making something happen - now, we actually are.

I'd love to see you in Rochester at our rally in support of Rep. Chris Pappas, Stefany Shaheen, and Cinde Warmington. Together, we can elect strong leaders and build a better future for New Hampshire. I hope you'll join us!

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.

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.

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.

I’m proud to be in Cait’s corner. Now let’s keep working hard to elect strong leaders like her this November!

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Cait has exactly the kind of toughness we need right now in Congress. While serving in the Army, she deployed to combat zones six times, earned three bronze stars, and became one of the first women in Special Operations leadership.

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.

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
All to dodge one uncomfortable vote - much like his maneuvers last year to hold off the Epstein files. You don't have to be a Democrat to find that disgraceful. In less than seven weeks, Americans can change all this. 48 days to go

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.

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.

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.

We have a chance to flip long-held Republican districts like Arizona's 6th this November - and it's on all of us to keep knocking on doors, making calls, and talking to our neighbors to ensure leaders like Jo are elected.

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.

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.

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.

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.
