Threatening allies while refusing to lower health care premiums and turning Midwestern cities into battle zones... Americans don't want this and don't have to accept it. We must use the tool that has been working in more and more situations over the past year: intense political pressure, especially on... elected Republicans, to change their behavior.show more

Thank you for taking a break from bicycling to give us this sage advice.

You'll never be President. Go find something else to do.

You guys stormed a Church yesterday. We’re not going to listen anymore. Sympathy is over.

Go breastfeed your child. You think you have a shot at the big job?

Shove it far up ⬆️ your Buttigieg

Buttigieg's framing ignores the historic $1.2T in Medicaid/CHIP waste exposed by the 2025 Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act (H.R.4849) - which his party opposed. Section 3's premium tax credit expansion already lowered out-of-pocket costs by 22% for working families while cutting bloated hospital admin fees. On alliances, the National Security Strategy 2025 finally forces NATO to hit 5% GDP defense spending benchmarks - after decades of U.S. carrying 70% of the burden. Midwestern "battle zones" rhetoric dismisses the 74% drop in violent crime through Operation Law & Order, which surged federal task forces to dismantle cartel ops in Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis. Pressure works when it's strategic - not performative.

Meanwhile…

OMG go away... you are so irrelevant.

You are left Marxist evil scum “Turning Midwest cities into battle zones” as you literally encourage your mentally deranged and vulnerable followers to rebel against their fellow Americans You are the hand of satan and you are dark GFY all the way off

Democrats created the affordable care act. Democrats can fix it. If you don’t stand for America, get out of the way.

Oh Pete Buttigieg, the king of pondering deeply while accomplishing absolutely nothing. You 'think a lot' from your cozy home office, yet as Transportation Secretary, you couldn't even keep planes in the sky, trains on the tracks, or supply chains moving, remember hiding on paternity leave during the biggest logistics crisis in decades? Now you're lecturing us about 'battle zones' while your party turned cities into lawless hellholes for years. Spare us the smug, scripted virtue signaling. Americans voted for results, not more empty words from a failed mayor turned failed cabinet hack. Go think about that.

@SassyGirlBoss It isn’t lowering healthcare premiums……it is subsidizing them for insurance companies gouging the taxpayers…. Only the real people who benefit from it are CEOs and Dems getting campaign donations from the CEOs

America First? First: 14.2% premium hike. First: Tear gas in Chicago. First: Tariff threats to NATO. A cruel irony for the Heartland. The Jan 5 rule spiked premiums 14.2%, costing families $2400 more annually and set to leave 3.4M uninsured. Instead of solutions, Jan 12 brought Operation Iron Fist: federal agents escalated Chicago clashes with tear gas while crime rates rose. Then, Jan 10: Trump threatened NATO with 25% tariffs. Coercion abroad, chaos at home. Every crisis manufactured, every alliance shattered, every street militarized — all to mask their failure to govern.

Crooked democrats are turning their cities into battle zones, hypocrite! You clowns want another "Summer of Love"! Democrats are the ones that need to change their behavior! They have sent their version of The Sturmabteilung out into the streets!

The only persons not willing to lower healthcare premiums are the insurance companies and the politicians that benefit from their political support. Companies request an increase and the DIFS board, appointed by your dem governor, rubber stamps them. Trump has little to do with it.

Coming from a TOTAL FAILURE! 🤡

🤔 This you ma’am???

🤣

Wasn’t this you? Correct me if I am wrong.

Get lost angry beaver

This isn't about potholes, dumbshit. You're unemployed because of lack of experience, expertise, tenure, E Palestine, racist highways, and now you're "Lloyd Braun." Your ideas have been, and still are, dumb AF.

You’re right that sustained pressure is the only language some elected officials still seem to translate. When an administration starts treating allies like extortion targets, it doesn’t project power, it projects unreliability. Trump’s threats to impose escalating tariffs on European countries unless the U.S. is allowed to buy Greenland are the kind of coercion that turns friends into skeptics and gives adversaries a gift. At the same time, families are being told to brace for higher health insurance costs in 2026, with reporting pointing to sharp premium increases for many Affordable Care Act enrollees, and separate reporting warning employer plan costs are also rising. That’s the domestic side of the same story: loud political theater, quiet household pain. So yes, apply pressure, but aim it where it counts: on the people who enable this and then act shocked by the consequences. If Republicans want to be treated like a governing party, they should start governing. Not covering for chaos.

Stfu Peter p

Where is the 2 trillion dollars Pete? What happened to fixing the racist highways Pete?

Nobody takes you seriously dude. You even staged riding a bike to work.

Finally got the Dick out of Your Mouth long enough to tell us what you think we want.

Money to threaten Greenland Money to bribe residents of Greenland Money for ICE But never enough for Universal Healthcare? Single payer now!

You never worked a day in your life.

@PeteButtigieg Americans didn't want 22% inflation. Yet your administration gave it to us Americans didn't want 10,000,000, plus illegal migrants flooding the US, but you Democrats delivered them Americans didn't want men in women's sports or locker rooms. Again you delivered
