@nytimes
- We have reached a tipping point. Listen to every word she says. When you hyped a dishonest poll about our President while he was abroad to discredit him - it was the final straw. Journalists, you have a choice to make. Stay and abet, or stand up and save democracy
Pete steps down and endorses

“When I ran for President it was always about rallying the country together to defeat Donald Trump and reclaim the era for the values that we share…”

I started this account after seeing Pete at SXSW.
I wanted to document Pete's ability to capture people's hearts and minds. That day, I felt the same energy as I do today. And I'm not alone. This account gained 1000+ yesterday-folks who feel it, too.

@PeteButtigieg
. He is a thoughtful & charismatic leader who has proven he can communicate a clear vision of unity & shared values for all Americans. The Harris-Buttigieg team is a winning combo for democracy, Dems, the US, & the world.
Don't believe the things they tell you about his private flights. He almost always flies commercial and always coach. He's not in it for the perks. He's in it to help us.

Holy crap… when you’re talking about picking up a road kill BEAR and leaving it in your car so you can skin it after you go eat dinner at a steakhouse… and the person you’re telling it to is Roseanne… you’re losing.
And you’re a weirdo.
Your dad would be so ashamed.
At the end of many of his events, Pete drew questions from a hat that audience members pre-submitted. Here, at a fundraiser in Hollywood, he answers a question from a middle school teacher who asks him to share a memory of 7th grade.

Gonna finish out this amazing day with my very favorite Pete video. At a fundraiser in 2019, a 10-year-old girl tells Pete she’s worried about guns in school and asks what she can do to help him get elected…

That is the power and groundwork Kamala would inherit instantly
Go ahead, call him a long-shot. Tell us he’s not ready, it’s not his time, tell us America isn’t ready for a gay VP…
And then tell me who else can slay on Fox and articulate the key issues of gun control, abortion, climate change, and common decency? Go ahead…
Pete is ready.
Long shot? Am I in a Pete bubble? I can’t see how he wouldn’t be THE best choice. Though I am starting to feel like he’s going to be relegated to the “it’s not his time yet” trusty sidekick for all eternity.

Exactly. Maher territory. This one hurts because I’ve always counted on him to shine a light. There is something happening to older men that I cannot understand. I have not had to mourn one

Listen, I've blocked a few people today and no doubt many have blocked me, I get it. I will unblock soon because it's not personal. Feelings are strong and deep and need to be felt.

I have no issues with Shapero’s religion- or anyone’s. I just don’t get his appeal. He doesn’t make me feel anything.
I’ll support whoever she chooses—but I prefer candidates who make me feel energized and calm at the same time. I prefer someone I know and trust.
That’s all.
When I started this account, Pete on TV was a rare sighting. One of the only things I could find was this TMZ segment...
