I'm keeping my account here for now but have joined the masses on Bluesky and will likely be there more than here. You can find me at jtrea81.bsky.social.

Pete Buttigieg doesn't need to shout to inspire. His speech tonight reminded Americans that politics can be "soulcraft" when executed in service of a better America. He may be President someday, but he is already one of America's best leaders today. Always proud to be #TeamPete.

Buttigieg gets a question from Wallace about the rocket attack on the US embassy in real time and makes the audience wish he was in the Situation Room based on his response. #PeteOnFox

Another reason for @PeteButtigieg to be VP is that he is well-known and a draw not only on national TV news, but local TV news as well due to his state visits. More people know who he is due to the local newscasts, which people tune in to and trust more than national news.

Pete Buttigieg shows empathy, pragmatism and a passion for getting the right policy to address each issue that is so important to those who are suffering. It's why he is the best choice for a new era of unity and belonging. #PeteOnCNN #FITN

Pete Buttigieg writes his own, original material and he's known for being able to do it on the fly, while Mike Pence is known for having a fly land on his head. Also, Pete won the Iowa caucus, while Pence never will.

Not a mini-roundabout. And this is creating a deadly fixed object (DFO) for errant vehicles. There are better and safer ways to calm traffic for all users, such as an actual mini-roundabout.

The broke city's guide to traffic calming: old concrete pipe filled with dirt are one the cheapest yet most effective ways to turn any resident intersection into a mini roundabout! Near impossible to speed through the intersection, and doesn't negatively impact pedestrians!

Pete Buttigieg's style of governing at USDOT with 🥕s and sticks is proving to be much more effective than constantly using a 🔨 as progressives would like him to do.

One of the best quotes from @PeteButtigieg is how he defined leadership. #TeamPete

Why did President Biden pick @PeteButtigieg to be the Secretary of Transportation? Look at how aware everybody is now at the state of our infrastructure and the importance of it both personally and politically. There's your answer.

Mayors know that the presidency is not the only office that matters. @PeteButtigieg will be the candidate to make sure that Democrats win up and down the ticket. #DemDebate #TeamPete

Having watched @PeteButtigieg for several years now - on any campaign he'll come up with talking points that will be simple in message but will resonate quite powerfully. And then he'll repeat them over and over in every media spot he does to drive home that message. Masterful.
