A Pennsylvania Democrat has called for Senator John Fetterman to resign, citing his growing alignment with the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. In a guest editorial published by PennLive on March 22, Matt Roan, chair of the Cumberland County Democratic Party, criticized the senator from Pennsylvania for what he described as an abandonment of Democratic values. Newsweek contacted Fetterman for comment via email on Monday. Why It Matters Fetterman's efforts to work with Republicans, including being the first Senate Democrat to meet Trump after his election victory, follow his break with progressives on issues such as support for Israel

Comments:

Dems are getting terribly desperate. So far Fetterman seems unfazed by the constant yapping.

Pennsylvania's problem isn't necessarily John Fetterman. The critic from their democrat party needs to look in a mirror.

This is the new democrat party. Agree with the agenda 100%, or your out. Deviating from the agenda will be "approved" only if, A: it's necessary to save your seat. And B: your vote won't make a difference. Fetterman votes with the democrats almost 100% of the time. But, that's not enough.

Perhaps Matt Roan didn’t notice but Cumberland County went red and John Fetterman is the only sane Democrat in the Senate.

These progressives all think they're supposed to be in a shooting war with conservatives. There's no such thing as "negotiate", "compromise", or "work together". It's their way or the highway. They don't believe in a "common good". If they could exterminate us, they would in a heartbeat. They are sick. They are basically mad dogs, foaming at the mouth, looking for the next bite. Sad...

Beyond his bright blue suits, Pete Hegseth's
unconventional style is 'operator casual'

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is known for steering clear of the traditional, somber attire expected in Washington, DC, playing the suit game by his own rules. But he's also got a second kind of unconventional look — operator casual. It's a different vibe from the conspicuously bright blue suit he wore at the recent NATO summit, drawing criticism, but it shares some similarities to some of his other preferred flair, like flag-linings in his suits, patriotic socks, and a star-spangled pocket square. The style gained momentum during the Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, though earlier versions date back to

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has drawn the ire of Democrats due to his role in the Trump administration‘s efforts to cut waste in the federal government, with some New York lawmakers targeting his company with a new piece of legislation. Tesla has been the target of protests and attacks from Democrats in recent months as their opposition to Musk has intensified. In the New York legislature, Democratic state Sen.

Tesla has become a lightning rod for violent attacks and vandalism in the months since CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration. Now, people who disagree with Musk’s role in politics are hoping to channel their emotions into something peaceful: a day of mass nonviolent protests at Tesla locations nationwide. More than 200 protests are scheduled to take place Saturday during what organizers are calling a global day of action, part of a campaign called “Tesla Takedown.” The organizers are hoping to damage Musk’s political standing by hurting the sales and stock price of the electric-car maker, the foundation of

Lawmakers and union members gathered on the Minnesota State Capitol steps on Thursday to speak out against Gov. Tim Walz’s plan for thousands of state employees to return to the office. Walz sent out a memo on Tuesday notifying government employees that starting on June 1, at least half of their shifts will have to be in person. The policy would affect about 15,000 of 40,000 state workers. “Workers are angry. Workers are threatening to quit over this,” said Rep.

An activist group, Mondays Without McCormick Pittsburgh, is planning a protest with Indivisible Pittsburgh this Saturday, urging both Pennsylvania senators to listen to their concerned constituents and host a town hall. Meanwhile, Fetterman's 2022 Democratic primary contender, former Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussed the size of their recent political rally in Denver, Colorado, a data expert and entrepreneur raised doubts about the size and supposed grassroots nature of the crowd. (Snip) According to GPS, there were only 20,189 devices at the rally, meaning the crowd size appeared to be smaller than what Sanders had claimed.

WASHINGTON — The dustup over the future of the Democratic Party and how lawmakers should blunt President Donald Trump’s grip on Washington showed little signs of abating this week, with Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, still playing a central role. Former Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, who finished second to Mr. Fetterman in the state’s 2022 Senate primary, accused the senator on Friday of “collaborating with — rather than fighting” the president and his Republican Party, which controls both chambers of Congress. Mr. Lamb said Mr. Fetterman — who has slammed Democratic protests of Trump and last week voted in favor

Four months after losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, Harris led the competition in the survey in a mock 2028 Democratic primary and the results were not close. Harris, who has not announced any intention to seek another presidential nomination, led a pack of 19 candidates with the support of 36%.

"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued.

Late last night, President Trump signed an executive order "to end collective bargaining with Federal unions" at more than two dozen government agencies. In theory this puts an end to collective bargaining for more than half of all federal workers. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government. The White House cited national security concerns for terminating workers’ ability to bargain collectively, but the order applies at agencies with both direct and indirect links to national security.

The footage captured her aggressively harassing the young man, causing a scene, and branding him a racist for no reason other than his choice of headwear. And the best part? She ended up humiliating herself in the process when she chased after him off the subway and wound up face-planting on the platform. Well, that woman has been identified.

Democrats calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth got more fodder for their demands when a major media outlet dropped a story that he brought his wife to “sensitive” meetings, adding fuel to the “Signalgate” fire. According to The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer Hegseth attended a March 6 “high level meeting” with her husband and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, a day after the U.S. said it would suspend sharing intelligence with Ukraine in NATO’s proxy war on Russia. According to the outlet, Mrs. Hegseth also attended a NATO meeting during a trip to Brussels in February,

Someone familiar with the matter, however, says the vaccine regulator was forced out of his position. In his Friday resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks alleged that vaccine confidence has been undermined, calling it “irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation’s health, safety, and security,” according to a report by NBC News.

“This is NPR.” Unfortunately for National Public Radio, that proved all too true this week. In one of the most cringeworthy appearances in Congress, Katherine Maher imploded in a House hearing on the public funding of the liberal radio outlet. By the end of her series of contradictions and admissions, Maher had made the definitive case for ending public funding for NPR and state-subsidized media. Many of us have written for years about the biased reporting at NPR. Not all of this criticism was made out of hostility toward the outlet — many honestly wanted NPR to reverse course and adopt more balanced coverage. That is why,
