Pete Buttigieg spoke with David Leonhardt at the New York Times.

I think this is just a very short preview. As far as I can tell, the full conversation hasn't been published anywhere yet.

Maybe this will come out on Sunday? Keep an eye out for it.

This week, we saw the Republican Governor of Oklahoma say that Trump is violating states' rights.

Some Republicans in Congress have sounded squeamish about Trump firing thousands of workers during this shutdown, threatening to withhold pay, & making healthcare premiums skyrocket.

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

JD Vance is going to Indiana *again* on Friday to try to convince Indiana Republicans to do extreme gerrymandering.

Pete Buttigieg is right:

Indiana Republicans are ashamed of this. They know it's wrong.

Praying that the latest developments in the Middle East will lead to the real results we all hope to see: an end to the suffering and destruction, the return of all remaining hostages, and meaningful beginnings toward a lasting peace.

I just listened to Pete Buttigieg's call with Win The Era supporters. 💙

Pete has supporters in some very red parts of the country. A farmer from Idaho talked about how he hates the tariffs. A woman from a small rural county in Kansas is trying to start up a local Democratic party.
