In 2022, Buttigieg prevented a major aviation crisis (a crisis created under Trump).

Rep. DeFazio explains how Pete negotiated with telecoms to delay the 5G CBAND rollout. 👇 Pete required airlines to retrofit their altimeters, so 5G was safely enabled in 2023.

A large share of rail-related deaths occur at railroad crossings. And if a train blocks a crossing, this is a major burden & safety hazard for local communities.

That's why Pete Buttigieg awarded over $1.7B to eliminate or improve 1,400+ rail crossings.

When Pete Buttigieg first took office, only 5% of Class I rail workers had paid sick leave. Pete helped to push railroad companies so now 90% of these workers have paid sick leave. 👏

Pete continues to push CSX, CN, & CPKC to cover *all* of their workers.

Making it easier for people to walk, bike, & roll (aka, active transportation) has been a priority for Buttigieg & USDOT across almost every competitive grant program.

And at least $4B in federal-aid highway funding was obligated for active transport.

Buttigieg: "Hopefully in our travels, I can point out something & say, 'I worked on that & that's one of the reasons why I was working so hard back when you were really little & we were getting to know each other.'"

Buttigieg led the first-ever national strategy to end US road deaths.

He required better automatic emergency braking, reformed car safety ratings to protect pedestrians & cyclists, & awarded $2.9B from a new Safe Streets for All program to make roads safer.

News/Opinion: Simone Biles Jokes About Oversized Khy Blazer: “This Is a Crime!”
Certainly! Below is an article that reflects on Simone Biles’ reaction to Kylie Jenner’s Khy Blazer and its impact on her body image.---Simone Biles and the Khy Blazer: A Controversial ReactionThe internet has definitely been filled with speculation since the latest Kylie Jenner release, where she showcased a massive XXS/S faux leather blazer in front of a crowd. This item has been criticized for being too big, especially considering the model’s petite frame. It has sparked heated discussions on social media and even sparked an emoji fight.But Simone Biles, often known as Sympy or the Queen of Spicy Fats, didn’t let her opinions bubble to the surface. She called it “This Is a Crime!” during a live Q&A with fans at the Balleralert concert. “It’s not about the size—it’s about the feeling,” she said, referencing the blazer and calling it a theft.But let us take a moment to unpack what this reaction means for both models and their粉丝. While the blazer in question was part of Kylie’s collection, it has been criticized for being too big, especially for someone who is petite. It raises questions about how beauty standards should be set, as well as how individual comfort with clothing can vary.Simone Biles’ reaction highlights the challenges of modern fashion—how to accept that some people might feel uncomfortable or out of place in certain looks. She also brings up the importance of self-acceptance and how even the most popular models on the planet may not fit perfectly into everyone’s image. But what about other brands like Kylie? Is she pushing them to be more mindful of their audience, or is she just being overly critical?The blazer issue has also highlighted the growing trend of oversized items in fashion—both from big names like Kylie and newer models like Biles—and how they can affect one’s comfort level. It’s clear that while beauty standards are important, it’s also about finding ways to make everyone feel good.In any case, both Simone and Kylie have shown that even the most popular models don’t need to be perfect in everything they do. They’re doing what they love best and embracing their individuality, which is a testament to their passion for life and style.So, whether you’re supporting Biles or Kylie, it’s clear that beauty isn’t just about aesthetics—though it certainly can’t hurt. It’s about finding the right balance of style, comfort, and personal expression.---Feel free to adjust the tone or structure as needed!------Source: #Entertainment

Amtrak's entire Northeast Corridor depends on a 115-year-old tunnel between NY & NJ, which needs major repairs.

That's why Buttigieg & USDOT have committed $11B to the Hudson River Tunnel Project to construct a new tunnel & rehabilitate the existing tunnel.

When COVID sent shockwaves through global supply chains, ports & shippers lacked good data to anticipate changes & adjust their operations.

So Buttigieg & USDOT created the FLOW data initiative. With this data, supply chains can now be more nimble & efficient.

When a tanker truck crashed & caused an I-95 bridge to collapse in Philly, Buttigieg & USDOT immediately provided $3M in emergency funds & technical support to help PennDOT reopen the highway in just 12 days. The permanent lanes were done in less than a year.

He should be President. If he had been in 2020, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Thanks to Pete Buttigieg & USDOT, airline customers no longer have to jump through hoops to get refunds 👇

If your flight is cancelled or very delayed for any reason, airlines must *automatically* give a refund if you choose not to fly.
