I'm proud to belong to a generation that is the largest and most diverse ever. We have the power to shape politics for the half-century to come. I'm joining the @youngdems annual convention to talk about just that. Tune in now: https://t.co/DIr6SKiVqv — PolitiTweet.org

When the people of Puerto Rico speak, we must listen. I stand in solidarity with the people of #PuertoRico as they continue to demand transparency and accountability. Our fellow U.S. citizens deserve a government they can trust. — PolitiTweet.org

@DerrickNAACP @AprilDRyan @NAACP Thanks! I'm looking forward to the conversation. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

We can do many things at once. This morning that means standing with @IlhanMN and her colleagues in the face of racist attacks—AND standing with her and @HouseDemocrats to #RaiseTheWage today. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Today, Congress has an opportunity to put people before corporate profits. Americans on both sides of the aisle support a higher minimum wage. No one should work 40 hours in America and live in poverty. It’s time to #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Wage stagnation is not an accident. Republicans have worked alongside their corporate sponsors for decades to keep pay low while increasing profits. And the GOP tax plan only made it worse by giving 83% of its benefits to the top 1% of earners. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

The #RaiseTheWage Act would give 40 million American workers a raise (that’s two-thirds of America’s working poor, most of whom are people of color) and lift 18 million children out of poverty. In Iowa alone, 63,000 single parents would get a raise. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

This morning, the House will vote on the #RaiseTheWage Act, a bill that would raise the minimum wage to $15 and lift millions of Americans out of poverty. As a mayor from the industrial Midwest, I know a raise in wages is long overdue. The American people agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

This is a day for doing more than one thing at a time. We must denounce and reject the president’s racist demagoguery—without letting him deny attention to today’s extremely important vote on the minimum wage. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm thinking about Wayne Wilson, a veteran and son of Michiana who was laid to rest today. Mr. Wilson bravely served in Vietnam and belongs to a generation of heroes who more than deserve our gratitude and respect. He has no surviving relatives but he has us—and we honor him. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

I thought I was one of the last people turning off the lights when I left Afghanistan. That was five years ago, and we’re still arguing about how to get out. https://t.co/ew7ee4aRfR — PolitiTweet.org

Jesimya is dead because America is the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t treat health care as a human right. I will fight for a fairer, more just health care system—and I'll do it with Jesy in mind. My condolences are with his family. https://t.co/eMa5CcZxoi — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Mayors are on the front lines of climate change, but we can’t do it alone. Today's testimony from five of my @ClimateMayors colleagues is a call for national government to start catching up to the excellent work happening locally. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Justice Stevens was a judicial giant, a son of the Midwest who became one of the most influential jurists on the Court. His reverence for the law—and appreciation for how its practice must evolve to strengthen our democracy—inspires us all. My thoughts are with his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to IUPAT DC 91 for inviting me to sit down and talk about issues that matter to working families. Today, more than ever, it's important for us to stand up for organized labor and the quality union apprenticeships at the heart of these organizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

I've spent years working with South Bend City Clerk @kareemahfowler to build a more transparent and inclusive South Bend, and I'm honored to receive her endorsement at tonight's #SouthBendForPete event! https://t.co/aBMvgiwGGx — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Employees of the company run by the richest person on earth should not have to demand safe, reliable, and fair working conditions. Today, @Amazon workers in MN took a stand for fair labor practices, respect, and pathways for promotion for communities of color. I stand with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

For nearly two decades, we have used military force in too many situations and too often without Congressional approval. I applaud House passage of @RepBarbaraLee's amendment repealing the 2002 AUMF — it's time for Congress to step up to its responsibilities on the powers of war. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of cutting a ribbon, we de-coupled a firehose. The design features of this new station promote sustainability, gender equity, and cancer prevention, making it an example of how local communities can lead the way on these issues. https://t.co/VZS8fzasVJ — PolitiTweet.org

We're not going to win playing his game. We're going to do something completely different — we're going to talk about our values and we're going to talk about your lives. https://t.co/AxwHiT0yMf — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Right now the president is mobilizing federal agents to tear families apart in American cities. Don't tell me that they're the party of faith, or family, or freedom - not when they're acting like this in the White House. https://t.co/K59QKRGEKn — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

The flag I saluted when I was in uniform, the flag to which we pledge allegiance, represents a nation that honors the voices of those who call for justice—and we know this to be among the truer acts of loyalty to the republic for which it stands. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

There’s nothing new about denying the belonging of those who call our nation to its highest values and criticize those in power. Those who launch such attacks reveal that they do not understand what is greatest about America. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

As an immigrant and a citizen, my dad cared deeply about this country. Once, when he was speaking at a campus protest against Reagan’s accommodation of apartheid, a passing student noticed Dad’s brown skin and unique accent and called out: “go home!” He answered: “I am home.” — PolitiTweet.org
