I miss DEI

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I know we were joking about it but I’m starting to genuinely believe Pete Buttigieg himself was ensuring planes didn’t fall out of the sky

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

I think Pete Buttigieg is important for America's future! youtu.be/wRHt8No4SMA?...

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Biggest landing so far goes Pete Buttigieg with 356K followers in the first 24 hours Blueksy definitely has the juice, already has half the following of threads and just over 1/10th of Twitter. Again in 24 hours only. Who do you think can beat this record?

Welcome @petebuttigieg.bsky.social! The largest single-day increase in followers ever on Bluesky! Congratulations 🚀🚀🚀 blue.facts.dev/trending

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Pete's here

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Trump blamed DEI, Biden, Obama & Buttigieg for the crash.

Trump is blaming FORMER Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg for the plane collision. Sean Duffy is now Trumps Secretary of Transportation. This is 100% on the Donald Trump Administration. If you would like a handy graphic explaining WHY here you go. Thank you Bryan Tyler Cohen.

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

Because this gay man has more strength and character than any 100 “Alpha Males” Trump can put forward.

"The buck stops here"- Harry Truman "I don't take any responsibility at all."- DJT

Pete Buttigieg is many times the man Trump could ever hope to be.

Pete Buttigieg is the ONLY ONE who put the blame where it belongs: TRUMP. The rest of the Dems wailed and clutched their pearls. This is not how we bring down the felon 🙄 PETE understands the assignment. BLAME THE FELON FOR EVERYTHING. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I've heard Pete Buttigieg say that the thing he'll miss most are the people he worked with at USDOT. Judging by the comments I've seen on social media over the years, I think they'll miss him too:

This is a v moving Pete Buttigieg clip, but I genuinely laughed out loud towards the end

This reporter has covered Sean Duffy for 15 years & writes: "Duffy has nothing close to Buttigieg's management experience going into his confirmation hearing for Secretary of Transportation." Yep... This article is interesting: wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/01/14/s...

"... as the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a city of over 100,000 with more than 1,000 employees & day-to-day demands that included many transportation-related issues, Buttigieg was placed on a much larger, higher launching pad before taking the helm at D.O.T." #TeamPete

One pattern: The more popular you are with Dems, the less popular you are with Independents 👇 AOC & Newsom are popular with Dems but unpopular with Independents. Shapiro does okay with Independents but "meh" with Dems. Buttigieg is unique. He's very popular with Dems & okay with Independents.

A politician for the people. 👏🏼

“I can’t believe anyone would vote for Trump,” says smug Canadian man planning to vote for Poilievre

Finance Minister Christian Freeland resigns from cabinet… on the day of the fiscal update! #cdnpoli

Spent some time on the road with @SecretaryPete as he wraps up his time in the Biden Administration. He had some things to say. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There was much talk about a new rail-safety bill after East Palestine. "I consider it my single biggest piece of unfinished business. Congress would not act on the Railway Safety bill. There’s a rail-industry lobby that doesn’t want this to happen.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

CHARLAMAGNE: “Is it an alien invasion?” PETE BUTTIGIEG: “No disrespect to New Jersey, I think it’s very unlikely an alien invasion would begin in New Jersey.” 👽 😮

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Hits The Road One Last Time (For Now) The transportation secretary talks about the past four years — "the Big Deal," Elon Musk, Donald Trump — and what comes next.

“We’ve never had more connections, and we’ve never been more disconnected. Just as we’ve never had more information and been less informed.”

Pete Buttigieg has been meeting with prominent Michigan Democrats as he weighs his political future. He’s reportedly considering running for Michigan governor in 2026 or president in 2028. Many are urging him to enter the crowded 2026 race to replace Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is term limited.
