Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg speaks at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

[@carterevans7066]

I cannot wait for this man to run for president

[@bps7209]

He couldn’t handle South Bend.

[@SunshineGulfwind]

Me too. He's awesome

[@kitty-vk8ic]

Me too

"Wine Cellar" Pete ALREADY ran for President. I'm a Progressive (you can check) and I made sure to actively OPPOSE him during his campaign. Pete (like Hillary) has one of two jobs. First; lose to the Republican. Second, if they didn't lose, don't be the least bit Progressive, be Republican. Pete and Hillary are power hungry and crave the spotlight. Oh and investigate how many languages Pete can say more than just; 'Hello, my name is...". It's definitely not"8". Pete is a fraud and ANYONE who runs for President after being just an absentee Mayor of a small city?! ...

[@arcanondrum6543]

He already did. Failed at it.

[@Mlmv266]

One of the Dems brightest and best ❤

[@thnkx]

This man will be President someday.

[@RealLife888-x9s]

Sadly the nation is still of homophones, and many are Democrats. Probably won't happen.

[@patriciacasillas312]

We need Kamala for 2 terms, Walz for 2 terms, and Pete for 2 terms. Maybe we could get America where she needs to be.

[@arcanondrum6543]

I'm pretty sure that in 16 years, you're going to learn more about "the real Pete" and it ain't pretty. Any (absent) Mayor of such a small city running for President SHOULD make people very suspicious. Wall Street wanted him in the Oval Office before anyone would catch on.

[@cyndilabrec3730]

I so respect you Pete❣️

[@Marcianna50]

Thank you for being you. I have such love and respect for Pete Buttigieg. 💙💙💙💙💙

[@Stinglikeabee2]

Pete is a kind, smart and intelligent leader. Multi lingual, able to connect across the isle, compassionate and energetic. My choice for next secretary of state. And the next president too, why not?

[@My2CentsYall]

I would vote for him for president any day

[@kitty-vk8ic]

I would love to see Pete running for president 2028

[@pfisher737]

Next President.. we got so many guys lined up GOP...

[@MrRentgould]

Something is very off here , when he's treated as a good person

[@jakedude1832]

great speech, reusing physical commitment bit after jon stewart is a couple points off but very empowering and centering

[@patricia-ye7mu]

😊 Yes, in a way. He changed it a little bit. On the other hand, it’s a good description of JD’s inability to think of military, childless, single, cat lady before those words escape his mouth. And not everyone watches Late Night.

[@JJ-zy3zv]

Future president?

[@JeremiahStrong-d3h]

Devils advocate lies

[@angelacimmino1102]

Pete, how is the transportation infrastructure in Lahaina, Maui one year after fire destroyed that beautiful place?

[@angelacimmino1102]

Pete, what took you so long to vist East Palestine, Ohio on the train derailment and chemical explosion?

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been active in addressing various issues related to air travel in the United States. The Secretary has focused on holding airlines accountable for flight cancellations and delays. During periods of significant travel disruptions, like in the summer of 2022 and holiday season of 2022-2023, he pressured airlines to improve their scheduling practices, customer service, and to ensure that passengers were compensated appropriately. The Department of Transportation (DOT) under Buttigieg's leadership has pushed for stronger passenger protections. This includes proposals for new rules that would require airlines to compensate passengers for significant delays or cancellations that are within the airline’s control. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that passengers are not left stranded without recourse. Buttigieg’s DOT has taken steps to ensure that airlines provide timely refunds to passengers when flights are canceled or significantly changed. The department has fined airlines that fail to comply with refund requirements, and it has clarified and enforced refund rules more strictly. The Secretary has advocated for improvements to the U.S. air traffic control system and airport infrastructure. This includes supporting investments in modernizing air traffic control technology and pushing for funding to improve airport facilities, which can help reduce congestion and delays. He has also focused on the environmental impact of air travel. The DOT has been working on initiatives to reduce carbon emissions from the aviation sector, including promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuels and encouraging airlines to adopt more fuel-efficient practices. He has engaged in efforts to address labor disputes within the aviation industry, particularly during the pandemic when staffing shortages became a significant issue. Buttigieg has also emphasized the importance of maintaining high safety standards in air travel, supporting measures to ensure that airlines and airports comply with safety regulations. The DOT under Buttigieg has streamlined processes for handling consumer complaints related to air travel. This includes improving the transparency and accessibility of the complaint process, as well as taking action against airlines that repeatedly violate consumer protection laws.

Can you give me a good brownie recipe?

Just so you know, street and highway maintenence is a function of individual city, county, and state governments, not the federal government. If you need a pothole in front of your house filled in, call your city Street Department (most cities and towns have one). And in case you missed it, there is a recently implemented program for infrastructure replacement that is a DOT project, but such complex repair and replace projects can take time, as evidence by the fact that a Trump administration found infrastructure replacement too problematic to even attempt. Many such projects have been initiated by the Biden administration and the DOT, with some already completed, such as the I-95 bridge replacement in Pennsylvania, but many have not.

[@bps7209]

@@wendellcoleman1137 and he was horrible at it in South Bend. He talked a good game then too. Useless comes to most people’s minds when they talk about Mayor Pete. Yet, fools think he could do better as a president. SMH. Edit: by the way Pete decided that he needed maternity leave after starting his job. What a 💩 show he is.

[@Glock007-os8xn]

This guy is the biggest liar in the world and the most incompetent in the world. I have never seen a politician do so little yet says he does everything. I can’t stress enough what a joke this guy is.
