Husband, dad, veteran, writer, and proud Midwesterner. 19th US Secretary of Transportation and former Mayor of South Bend.
After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

Like so many Americans, I am grateful for Speaker Pelosi’s decades of service and leadership.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!

They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

For millions of Americans, today will bring the chance to be heard.

If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.

Spend a day with me on the campaign trail in Virginia.

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.
Exclusive: The U.S. government asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. Legal experts say the case could have consequences for Afghans the U.S. rescued and promised to support.
Trump administration makes misleading case in high-stakes asylum hearing
Homeland Security asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. The case could affect thousands of asylum seekers.

Trump building himself a new gold-plated ballroom at the White House shows what he really cares about - which is definitely not you.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

We can’t let this happen.

And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.

Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

What an energizing time yesterday in Virginia - surrounded by people hard at work talking to neighbors and coming together to make sure real change comes through the upcoming election.

Trump’s move to “terminate” the Gateway Project is classic “mob boss” politics – using federal funds to punish his political enemies, and hurt you in the process.

Watch my full conversation with @kim.senate.gov and @katiephang.bsky.social about what this means for commuters, jobs, and safety.
My Conversation with Andy Kim and Katie Phang on the Gateway Project
Trump’s move to “terminate” this project shows what happens when a leader’s top priority is not safety or jobs - but political revenge.

Buttigieg: This is about political revenge. The president has been very clear about that. And the really dangerous thing is the revenge is on you—on ordinary Americans and commuters who depend on these tunnels.

The President is getting involved after in-person pleading by the VP still couldn’t get these Indiana legislators to execute Trump’s gerrymandering plan.

They’ve held off because they know it’s wrong - and because our pressure is working. So let’s keep it up!

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.
