Just a shout out to one of the best Cabinet Secretaries ever-not just of the Department of Transportation but of any Cabinet position in modern history. @PeteButtigieg

You know what would give your post relevant context, @jaketapper?
Reminding everyone how Michelle Obama *championed* the issue healthy food for children and importantly — in school lunches — and how Republicans attacked her fiercely for it.
Called it "govt overreach"

The Biden administration is awarding billions of dollars to key infrastructure projects across the country — including Amtrak — as the department races to get money out the door before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. 1/2

Four years ago, we faced unprecedented crises. President Biden understood the magnitude of the challenge and used the tools of government to meet the moment—including an infrastructure package that is transforming our nation. It will be remembered as this century's Big Deal.

This is an extraordinarily bad choice for the health of the American people
The HHS Secretary shapes health policy in profound ways
He would oversee Medicare for instance -- and determine and shape your parents and grandparents health insurance
He and people he appoints would oversee the agency that decides what medicines are available to the American people
His ideas may sound good on bumper stickers but are unserious and often downright harmful
Our healthcare system is far from perfect. But it has spurred so much progress that has benefitted the American people
This appointment, if confirmed, puts all of that at risk
Trump expected to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS - POLITICO politico.com/news/2024/11/14…

Pete knew.
Tulsi Gabbard criticized Pete Buttigieg as inexperienced before he quickly returned the attack over her meeting with Bashar al Assad. “Let’s also talk about judgment,” he said. “I would not have sat down with a murderous dictator like that.”

Let hate sit alone. 👇🏼 So much wisdom.
It’s ok to log off and find some peace instead of arguing with very-online people about future elections. There’s so much work ahead of us. You don’t have to fight fires on a platform designed to make you mad. Take a nap. Go outside. Be with friends. Let hate sit alone.

If you voted for Donald, don’t you dare thank a veteran for their service today. You voted to eliminate VA Hospitals & Clinics, to slash benefits for disabled Veterans, & to eliminate Veteran jobs in the federal workforce. You’re not welcome for our service. #VeteransDay
Beeatrice doesn’t care much for big data and mapreduce, she prefers the old fashioned ways. #nytspellingbee
