Darlene Graham is such a weak and useless Trump puppet that she can’t even defend the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. She has zero thought or independence on anything policy or political. She was appointed to follow Trump’s every order and that’s exactly what she’s doing.

"That's almost word for word what they told us when we were sold the war in Iraq. Remember 2003?" -- another Pete Buttigieg masterclass on Fox News. There is no Democrat better at communicating to that audience.

Our elections are too important to mess with. But tomorrow, Trump is going to try and create a pretext for massive interference. Buckle up. Follow the facts. Don’t let him stoke hysterics about an election that was audited, investigated, and fair.

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

We've got to elect this man to national office. He's so right for this moment in time.

I grew up in a region where they told us that if you wanted to make something of yourself, you had to get out. After I did, I began to understand what it means to be from somewhere.

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” - Harry Truman As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true. It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

Buttigieg: (We're not here to) put everything back the way it was. That’s not what we’re here to do...It’s not what we need. (Maga is) destroying things right and left. So now we get a chance to put things together on different terms. Acyn @Acyn

Notice that Pete Buttigieg spoke for 1.25 hours tonight in Tulsa and he had no teleprompter. And he was brilliant. Pete is the real deal. His talent can't be faked.

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

His actions have led to higher prices for groceries, housing, utility bills, and more. Of course the president will do anything to avoid talking about his economic failures.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch. But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

When are we going to wake up?

Today, Canada agreed to import more EVs from China. Because of Trump's stupid policies. Buttigieg warned at the Detroit Auto Show: "The President cannot stop EVs from becoming the leading automotive technology. But he can stop America from being the leader in that technology."

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social gets it right again.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Buttigieg: Some say you can’t talk about any of the things that were wrong about America because that must mean you hate America. To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right.

DOKOUPIL: When I travel the country, they tell me they don't feel it because grocery prices are up-- TRUMP: They're going to now. I've only been here for 11 months. I inherited a mess. If she got in, you wouldn't have this job right now.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either. My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

This. No more "Target runs" where we wouldn't get out of there for less than $100 when all we needed was laundry soap. I trusted you, and you broke that trust. And ps, it'll take more than relegating the CEO to a new job (he's still getting paid, btw) to earn it back. www.forbes.com/sites/dougme...

New Politico interview with Pete Buttigieg: "Would he have voted for Sanders’ proposed arms embargo against Israel? Yes. Would he recognize a Palestinian state? Yes, as part of a two-state solution. Should the US pass another 10-year agreement with Israel for military aid? No."
