Love to see Buttigieg back in Iowa and calling out Trump’s attacks on democracy—he’s right that our values are on the line. We need Dems to actually lay out bold, progressive policies for working people, not just play defense against MAGA extremism. If Pete’s in for 2028, I hope he pushes the whole party left and gets serious about climate and economic justice.
