Pete Buttigieg is as pure as it gets for politics.

I wonder if his firings of federal employees affected the staffing shortage last night, and he is deflecting. Sounds like him…

Cassidi Jacobs's avatar

That was my very first thought, that or the hiring freeze!

Yes I know how close this buy out hits home. My daughter’s dad and my ex works for the IRS. We are all dealing with what will happen now with buy outs and terminations.

Charity Bennett's avatar

Yes they did. That ATC was also over his regulatory hours

Each day's news sounds like a joke except it's serious and not at all funny.

WHY is no one standing up and calling out his lies? He lied to the American people to get himself elected and NO-ONE, Republicans or Democrats publicly called him out on his lies. Now he is using a tragedy to spew his lies, hate and blame…….. WHERE is the RESISTANCE?

I agree, all GoP ads during campaigns were slander towards the dems and never heard them calling them out on it. They want to play safe and it’s costing people’s freedoms. People in power should do more but they are scare or don’t care

he was being called out live during the kamala debate by the moderator and kamala... it's why there was only one debate between them. he refused to do more

If they put his face on Mt. Rushmore I will personally be attending the ceremony when we blow it the fuck up after the fall of the MAGATS.

I know this work can be grueling. You're at the mercy of the days events. It's difficult to have your head buried in politics non-stop. I hope you take some time today to do something that feeds your soul. As always, my gratitude for your service to the American people and me.

A giant toddler who can’t take responsibility for anything. Protect Buttigieg at all costs. We knew they’d go after the news stations that haven’t bent the knee. It’s almost a compliment to be under investigation by their administration because then you’re doing something right.

Me too and it’s only been 11!! I don’t know if I can listen to this for 4 years. I feel like I’m living in a twilight zone

Thanks for the recap without having to see and hear him. What a petty, bitter, hateful man.

This. I really appreciate not having to see his disgusting face or hear his voice.

I watched part of a news conference were he was already blaming everyone else for the crash. Saying it was 100% preventable. And unnecessary to happen. But that's why they call them accidents.bc most of the fed employees i know (i admit a sm amt of about 25-30) r terrified of the administration finding out who they voted 4 somehow & they would find a way to prosecute them. Talk about a toxic work environment!

Aaron, I just have to share this with you. I’m staying with my 78-year-old mother for a little while, because she’s about to have surgery. Anyway, every morning now she asks has Aaron posted his morning news update yet. We listen to your morning updates as we have our morning coffee together. 😊

AmyLorene's avatar

That seems to be the only good thing about these. That there is so much horrid news but it’s bringing you and your mom closer in those moments. I hope she gets through surgery and recovery well.

The heart is for you. Not the news.

Aaron, I love the 5 min highlights!! With that said, I know you sort through a million things to fact check and get the report that brief. Just wondering if there might be an opportunity for paid subscribers to click links to more resources if they want to hear more on any specific headline. Just brainstorming. I know there is usually one headline a day I google after I hear it from you to find out more and if you had links handy I would probably just stay here.

I appreciate you and your work.
