In @politico interview, Buttigieg delivers a response to the Harris book that is dignified, restrained – and also quite stinging From @adamwren & @lisakashinsky politico.com/news/2025/09/1…
A few weeks ago, I found myself deeply understanding why so many women just quit. But we don’t. Because they matter. Their future matters. So we stay in it. For them.
Honored to join @DefendUSAAction, former HHS Secretary Becerra, former HRSA Admin. Johnson, Congressman Walkinshaw, and Del. Henson in highlighting the devastating impact of Trump & MAGA Republicans’ dangerous healthcare cuts on Virginia’s hospitals & the communities they serve.

Trump was 57 years old when he drew this. Not in dog years.
This is why they are changing the maps.

Have never seen a more textbook saying the quiet part out loud? BESSENT: "In a way, it is a backdoor for privatizing Social Security."

This bit actually foreshadowing what’s shaping up to be a massive touchpoint in American history is sending me so bad
Obviously Trump wheeled Tulsi out in a last ditch attempt to blunt the WSJ story, but even I didn’t think they’d be desperate enough to break the “arrest Obama” glass just six months in. Will make countering future crises more difficult with that card already on the table
