“It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the U.S. Department of Transportation,” she wrote alongside her statement, adding that she was “deeply troubled” by the “entirely avoidable” events at the Capitol building.

“Our country experienced a traumatic and entirely avoidable event as supporters of the President stormed the Capitol building following a rally he addressed. As I’m sure is the case with many of you, it has deeply troubled me in a way I simply cannot set aside.”

“I am tremendously proud of the many accomplishments we were able to achieve together for our country and I will never forget the commitment you have for this Department and the United States of America,” her statement continued.

She added that she will help Pete Buttigieg in taking on the department.

Trump was indefinitely banned from certain social media networks following the U.S. Capitol incident.

Celebrities are calling out and reacting to the Trump Administration allowing a bill to move forward to the Supreme Court which would give adoption agencies the right to refuse LGBTQ couples to adopt a child.

In the bried, that was filed this week, the DOJ is arguing that “cities should not be able to protect LGBTQ+ couples from discrimination by religious organizations.”

It all dates back to 2018 when Catholic Social Services sued the city of Philadelphia. CSS refused to place a child with a same sex couple, which went against their contract with the city that stated they must abide by nondiscrimination policies.

The case is now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The DOJ’s brief claims that “The City impermissibly targeted religious organizations … the city focused only on religious agencies, making just a single inquiry to a secular foster-care agency. … City officials made no effort to determine whether other secular agencies perform home studies for everyone who requests them.”

Many celebs are slamming the administration for allowing the case to go to the Supreme Court at all.

“Tax dollars should not be used to discriminate. Period,” Pete Buttigieg, who is gay and a former Presidential hopeful, wrote on Twitter in regards to the news.

Earlier over the weekend, Donald Trump confused a lot of Twitter users by liking this tweet.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg filled in as guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night (March 12) and lived out his Star Trek super-fan dreams!

The former candidate for President of the United States, who is a lifelong Star Trek fan, received a Star Trek: The Next Generation television script and signed photo from his special guest Sir Patrick Stewart, who plays Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek franchise.

“This will hold a place of pride,” Buttigieg said as Stewart signed the script’s cover.

Mayor Pete also participated in a Star Trek trivia contest with Sir Patrick called “Who’s the Captain Now?” hosted by surprise guest LeVar Burton, who played Chief Engineer Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Pete is a pretty big Star Trek fan, so the quiz ended up being actually quite neck-and-neck.

“We have cancelled the studio audience tonight, but a few kind of Kimmel staffers and some friends, my husband Chasten, all here instead…everyone is spread apart at the CDC-recommended distance…this is disappointing, because as you all know, I love to crowd surf,” he said during the opening monologue.

He also poked fun at his presidential run: “I really thought we had a shot. Turns out, I was about 40 years too young and 38 years too gay,” he said.

He also interviewed Sir Patrick Stewart and Tony Hale during the show.

Pete Buttigieg is heading to late night!

The 38-year-old former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana announced on the Today show that he will be guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! later this week.

“We’re lining up a great slate of guests,” Pete shared via Deadline. “Patrick Stewart is coming on, so we are very excited about that.”

Host Jimmy Kimmel will be taking the night off as he’s in production for new episodes of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Today host Craig Melvin asked Pete what he has in store for his opening monologue.

“Hopefully some funnier minds than mine will be doing some writing for that,” Pete replied. “I think it is going to be fun. The thing about running a presidential campaign is you will have been focused on one thing and one thing only. It is nice to be able to zoom out and come back at life.”

Pete‘s hosting gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live! comes a little over a week after he dropped out of the Democratic race for president and endorsed fellow candid Joe Biden.

Pete Buttigieg‘s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be airing on Thursday, March 12 on ABC.
