Team Pete, pro-choice adoptee in a reddish-purple district.

Pete is quietly working hard in states that are crucial reclaiming congress from Republicans.

Pete has stumped for Democrats in over a dozen states this year, endorsed over 30 candidates, and keeps showing up wherever people will hear his message

[chyea ok @chyeaok]

Yesterday Pete Buttigieg posted an article on his substack about democratic reforms. This has quietly been a central theme at each of his midterm campaign events across the country.

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

@PatrickSvitek FFS since when does a redemption arc (no less for things that happened fairly recently) equate to a seat in the US Senate as one's first government experience on any level?

[lyragal @lyragal]

@MikeNellis Platner lied yesterday about there being nothing more

He lied about the tattoo, only getting it removed shortly before a Senate run

He was dating a GOP operative when this abuse happened in 2019

I'm all for redemption arcs, but a 2026 Senate seat ain't it

[Katrina 🐝 @KatrinaWTE]

To say “the system is broken” hardly qualifies as a hot political take anymore. Just about everyone running for federal office says some version of this.

The real question is what we’re going to do about it.

@bluhue123 Pete and whomever he picks as VP- extremely unlikely it'd be Gavin.

[Leia @TheSWPrincess]

From people on the ground in Maine - Maine voters can rank Mills and David Costello, and not rank Platner.

That way, Mills and Costello can advance, and not Platner.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Despite being under Republican control, the House just defied President Trump on the Iran war.

No amount of lying or bullying by the White House can make Americans forget we're paying for a senseless war.

Now even some GOP Members of Congress are recognizing they ultimately answer to us - not him. 

Keep up the pressure.

[Nerdy Pursuit 🐉 @nerdypursuit]

I suspected Pete would do well in Colorado, because we also have polls from Nevada and Utah that show him popular in that region.

And it's not just white voters. In the crosstabs, he also gets the highest "would consider" number among Hispanic voters and "All POC."

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.”

It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home.

Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.

[lyragal @lyragal]

@nerdypursuit All of this, plus-
the flat-out ignoring of actual poll data of independents and swing state voters.... which at this point in time shows that Pete is far more electable in a real life Electoral College scenario than the other current top names.

[lyragal @lyragal]

@naaycoqui That is literally not what the crosstabs show.

[lyragal @lyragal]

@SeitterSimora @newenhuyse @RussOnPolitics Shapiro is the only Dem who's won my precinct in *any* race since I moved back here in 2018.

There's a big data center slated to go up a few miles from me. Curious to see how that affects at least the purplish precincts in 2026 as well as my own redder one.

[lyragal @lyragal]

@SeitterSimora @newenhuyse @RussOnPolitics GOP rival Garrity is smartly coming out against data centers. She wouldn't keep that position if elected, and it won't be enough for her to beat Shapiro anyway. But his stance, even if he flipflops like he did on charter schools, will be a future albatross.
