Do the work. Stop trying to fix cultural problems with politicians. "Beautiful Chaos" - Pete Buttigieg and Jamie Harrison

Unpinning my 9 year-oold tweet with over 20M interactions to pin this one.
I think Democratic voters should support the candidate who they think best promotes the issues important to them. I think trying to game the bigotry of other people is to effectively enable that bigotry. We shouldn't *not* vote for someone because of their identity.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse.    This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.     Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.   The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.   I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

I think he is addressing a much bigger issue from 35k feet. Yes, strive to make life more affordable and more fair. But even beyond that he sees something and we should trust his authority of these topics. E.g., have we substituted politics in for where religion used to be...
Folks WANT RESULTS and not rhetoric…. Not hope and change. No disrespect to Barack Folks HOPE to pay all their Bills and have some CHANGE left over in their pockets.

How one runs still is the best measure of how one will serve.
Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

Someone please write a country song called "My Kids Have Measles and I Can't Buy Diesel"
My kids have measles, I can't afford diesel, my country has been humiliated by Iran, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite the CDC no longer monitors. But at least now I can go to the lesbian bar without putting on a mask.

Good opportunity here for @PeteButtigieg, a Michigan resident, to point out how Donald Trump threw U.S. EV manufacturers under the bus last year and then welcomed Chinese ones.
Goodbye to US auto if that happens. However, it was a murder-suicide because they chased only high income customers who want enormous vehicles.

If you have ever worked or volunteered for Buttigieg, you'll recognize this appeal.
Loved joining the Politico Playbook pod to talk about how James Talarico has put himself in the position to win Texas, how @ElectTheBench is supporting rising stars like Cait Conley, and getting my start on the Buttigieg campaign. Hosted of course by @adamwren & @playbookdc

What will governance look like when Democrats take back power? How will they undo the blatant corruption that we’ve seen under Trump 2.0? Our guest, Pete Buttigieg, says we can’t go back to how things were. There has to be a new normal- Native Land Pod 150 piped.video/c2C63XQwrZE

Like all of you, I’m fed up with the corruption in Washington, where career politicians like Mike Lawler put their own self-interest — and the interests of the corporations and billionaires backing them — ahead of the needs of everyday Americans. I’m running to fix that. Donald Trump and MAGA super PACs are pouring tens of millions into this race to keep Mike Lawler in office, but no amount of money can erase the harm he’s done to the Hudson Valley by voting with Trump 100% of the time. With your help, we’ll ensure government works for working people once again. Go to caitconley.com to join our fight for a better, more affordable future.

I genuinely do understand the appeal. I also genuinely understand engagement bait - same stupid ass question phrased verbatim - and we don't need to bite.
