The House approved a measure late Tuesday that would slash Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's taxpayer-funded government salary to just $1. The bill — which was introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. — was passed via voice vote Tuesday as an amendment to the 2024 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, the standalone funding bill for the General Services Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission and other related agencies.

June 13 (UPI) -- Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited the site of Sunday's fatal collapse of an elevated portion of I-95 in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Buttigieg said he met with first responders as well as state and local officials to hear updates about efforts to reconstruct the roadway.

Mayor Pete Buttguy, sometimes Secretary of Transportation, announced the return of Trans World Airlines (TWA). Mayor Pete arranged the public/private partnership between the Transportation Department and Richard Branson (noted for his failed Virgin Orbit and successful Virgin Group). Mayor Pete brought the idea of a separate airlines just for LGBTQP+++ air travel customer segment to Richard. Richard bought into the idea immediately, with special emphasis on the "trans" crowd. Specialization would include: in-flight child grooming, in-flight drag queen shows, in-flight fashion shows, trans flight crews, and trans tailored meals and drinks. The real sales pitch will be that the Trans...

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigeg lashed out at critics on Sunday, calling Fox News’ Tucker Carlson — born and raised in California — a member of the “East Coast elite” who did not understand the working class. Buttigieg has come under fire lately for his mishandling of a toxic trail derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. He has also been slammed for being on unannounced parental leave during the cargo crisis of 2021, and for being on vacation in Portugal last year as a rail strike loomed — while pretending that he was still in the country.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday apologized after losing his “train of thought” while speaking to the press in East Palestine, Ohio. His act of contrition came nearly three weeks after the toxic train derailment devastated the local community there. Speaking of the dangers of what he described as “misinformation injected into this situation, none of which is to the benefit of the community,” Buttigieg appeared to lose his place. “So I think — sorry I lost my train of thought,” Buttigieg said, prompting some to note the irony of his word choice.

Buttigieg’s Press Secretary told reporters that it was “aggressive” to ask questions on camera in Buttigieg’s unending cascade of errors and insults in the face of disaster. It’s no wonder he was in hiding.

Seems Biden’s Secretary of Transportation had a little trouble giving a presser while in East Palestine, OH today. Gosh, golly gee, whatever could be bothering Pete Buttigieg who Biden appointed because he checked the right identity box? Hey, at least Pete isn’t stealing luggage like other former Biden picks. Right? See, we can be nice. Check out this Freudian slip: "I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT"pic.twitter.com/SA5fgjd8X7 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 23, 2023 Pete … dude, poor choice of words. Seriously. Especially as he’s ranting about disinformation and misinformation which is the Biden admin’s go-to when they’re busted being crap...

Earlier we told you that the mayor of East Palestine, Ohio called President Biden’s trip to Ukraine a big slap in the face, but the area did end up having one presidential visit. Former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump went to East Palestine today and brought a lot of supplies with him. Trump got a warm welcome from the citizens of the town: Donald Trump makes it to East Palestine, Ohio, before Mayor Pete or Biden can find the time to get there. Perfect America first metaphor. pic.twitter.com/cKOh6ghD5Q — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) February 22, 2023 This small American...

WASHINGTON — Appearing on late-night television in September, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg expressed confidence that airlines would improve their performance after a dismal summer of flight delays and cancellations. “I think it’s going to get better by the holidays,” Buttigieg told the host, James Corden. His prediction did not age well. Until the past few weeks, Buttigieg, 41, had enjoyed a relatively smooth glide as transportation secretary. He has traveled the country promoting the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law, appearing with grateful local leaders to trumpet the money headed their way. But the recent aviation woes present a formidable challenge...

Flights across the United States were grounded Wednesday morning after the Federal Aviation Administration said it experienced a computer outage. All flights in the U.S. were grounded following the incident, a source with knowledge of the situation told NBC News. The FAA said later Wednesday morning it had ordered all airlines to pause domestic departures until 9 a.m. ET....
