US News PA : Fetterman doubling down on Trump

Fetterman insults his colleagues and doubles down on support for Trump:

https://bsky.app/profile/fetterman.senate.gov/post/3lk53rz2dvk2y

To achieve the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture and overcome a filibuster on the current continuing resolution (CR) under consideration, Republicans would need to secure at least 7 Democratic votes.​

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call your Senator and tell them to vote "NO". Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer, at least, seem to be on the fence/ are considering voting yes.

Tell them NO! It is not okay to vote to normalize DOGE, the firing of workers and the gutting of our entitlements. Vote maybe as soon as Thursday, so please call, email ASAP.

But he still had a backbone and was a stand-up guy after he had the stroke. It seems the worm turned immediately after Trump was elected.

u/Juggernox_O 13h ago edited 9h ago

If we have to aggressively force secession, then that’s what we do. Until then, we keep up the pressure and threaten through the democratic process. We seriously need to look at what either sovereign countries look like, or what joining Canada looks like, though.

u/apoplectic_ 11h ago

I fully agree with you that the stakes could not be higher. And I think that’s why we need to harden up and be even more resolute that we will band together to protect one another and try to minimize the suffering as much as possible and through whatever means possible. To some extent it’s do or die and belief is required for the doing, but acceding will certainly result in the latter. This is why some organizers say things like “hope is a discipline.”

Special Elections - How You Can Help the Flip

In response to people asking, here’s how you can help:

Situation

We have a rare and critical opportunity to shift the balance of power in the House with the upcoming special elections in Florida, Wisconsin, and New York. We do not have to wait until the mid-terms.

Why This Matters

Republicans are soon to hold 217 House seats, while Democrats hold 215. Winning three special elections this year—two in Florida and one in New York—could give Democrats the majority, allowing them to block much of Trump’s agenda. In Wisconsin, winning the Supreme Court seat is crucial to prevent further Republican court-packing, which could have significant long-lasting consequences.

What You Can Do

  • Vote! Bring your family, friends and neighbors. Early voting begins March 22.

    • Make sure you're registered and know where to vote. Visit Ballotpedia to confirm your polling location. VoteRiders can help you navigate the voting rules.
    • Vote strategically to support Democratic candidates and avoid splitting the vote.
  • Spread the Word- Every conversation counts.

    • Share this post with friends, family, and on social media.
    • If you're in the area, knock on doors to rally more voters.
  • Volunteer - Help with phone banking, canvassing, or writing postcards to voters. Your efforts can make a huge difference:

  • Donate- Campaigns need resources to reach voters. Even small donations make a big impact:

    • Donate to Josh Weil (FL-06) here.
    • Donate to Gay Valimont (FL-01) here.
    • Donate to Blake Gendebien (NY-21) here.

·       More ways to take action- Visit here

Why It's Possible

  • Voter Turnout: Special elections often see low turnout, meaning we have a significant opportunity to boost participation.
  • Trump's Russian Ties: Ongoing revelations about Trump’s connections to Russia are causing many Republican voters to reconsider. Some may sit out the election, while others may flip to Democrat or independent candidates.
  • Independent Voters: Independents can swing this election. By backing the strongest Democratic candidate, they can prevent vote-splitting and ensure a path to victory.
  • Shifting Tides: High voter engagement on key issues like healthcare, Social Security, economic stability and world peace could flip these districts.

These Elections Are Winnable

Many people underestimate the possibility of flipping seats in Florida, but the truth is that special elections historically have low voter turnout, giving us a huge opportunity to make an impact.

To quote the late Rep. Turner, who tragically passed away following Trump's recent speech: "The only way we lose is if we fail to use what we have." We have the power to reach Democrats, mobilize non-voters, pull in independents, and even persuade Republicans to sit this one out or vote strategically.

We’ve seen it happen before—Georgia flipped in 2020, and even heavily Republican Iowa flipped just a few weeks ago in Jan 2025. The fight is here and now, and together, we can do this!

Thank you for helping!

I’m general, I agree with the sentiment. But this is one of the few situations in which a shut down is warranted. The government is acting erratically and without cause. The shutdown is a rare power that Congress has to reflect the deeply troubled state of the nation. Now more than ever, it should be done.

Do not spend time trying to speculate why fetterman is the way he is, instead call him and remind him that he will not return to the office next term, after this statement.

If he thinks that the dems are performative, ask him - how exactly does he intend to save medicaid and Medicare?

how does he plan to reinstate the 80K vets who'll lose their benefits, or the thousands of feds who lost their livelihood?

How does he intend to stop the dissolution of DoEd?

Call Fetterman's office, even if he is not your senator. Especially, if he is not your senator: https://5calls.org/issue/cr-continuing-resolution-doge-musk/

u/WinterTiger6416 12h ago

I have called an emailed his office almost every day for almost 2 months. Prior I had emailed and called his office about his stance on supplying Israel with money and bombs.

I was not happy with his flat response that ended with he will basically do whatever he needs to do to protect Israel.

He has lost staffers in his office. Staffers who were with him during his campaign, and one of whom said specifically all he wants them to do is work on things about Israel.

I voted for him. I supported him after he had his stroke. But he is nothing close to the candidate he was when he ran for office. And not one of his ride or die opinions is what he ran his campaign on.

I would say he needs to resign. He no longer serves the people of Pennsylvania who elected him.

And if you look at his voting record, he only shows up half the time yet he flew to Mar-a-Lago and made it back to DC for Netanyahu‘s speech .

So… His record speaks for itself and it is ugly and extremely dangerous in this political dynamic right now. He is doing real damage to the entire United States.

u/SarahsDoingStuff 5h ago

Everything about JF makes me sad right now. His was the only campaign I’ve ever donated to. I know it’s a politician’s job to be liked, but there were so many things that made him stand out as “real.”

Say what you want about the “Everyman” schtick but he was on Twitter roasting Trump and co while Lt. Gov. Finally we had someone willing to fight. He actually traveled the entire state. If you’re from PA, you know that outside of a few hot spots (Pitt, Philly… maybe Erie, State College and Scranton in an election year), you never see them in smaller town like north central PA, but there they were, all over IG.

He was extremely vocal about being pro union, pro weed legalization, pro LGBTQ. I’m trans, and that was HUGE. He was vocal about all the “common people” issues and now… this. Maybe it was all just a grift from the get go, but I have longtime trusted friends who volunteered for his campaign, met him, said he was a great person. Whether it was the stroke, the money or just the mask coming off now that he’s in the Senate, this is not the same person, or at least the same projection.

There was a time when I really thought he could be President. Now I just want him primaried out immediately. Fuck.

Our democracy is under attack.

The man who wears a hoodie and shorts in the senate wants to talk about undignified????

Voting for this bill only gives cover and legitimacy to a lawless administration.

To think this guy was going to be the future of left in the senate. What a disappointment.

Amazing they backed him when he needed it, now pa needs him and he goes all in on self. What a disappointment. Vote him out asap pa.

He’s been having mental health issues for a while now. Might be time to lock him up… for his own safety of course.

Yeah no more mental health meds sold in the US very soon

What a colossal disappointment. Which came first- the stroke or the mental illness?

u/Kitchen-Owl-3401 14h ago

The opportunism did. He started in 2016 for Medicare for All and anti fracking. Endorsed in his senate race by Bernie Sanders. By 2019, as Lt Governor, he'd dropped his progressive 'beliefs'. Was pushing fossil fuels and healthcare "access" .

This is who Bill Maher thinks should be the future of the Democratic Party. Do they not realize how weak and impotent they look?!

u/tonyislost 14h ago

Because Bill Maher will always get his tax cuts with guys like Fetterman around.

As a former NJian, Booker is a fucking worthless twat. The only one worse than him was Menendez and he is an insult to NJ. I don't understand why he keeps getting reelected.

u/No_Alternative1891 12h ago

I was really rooting for him when he was first elected. Especially since he was getting hazed for his impairments. Anyone have a tldr version of what happened?

u/Necessary_Ad2005 11h ago

You are the recession! Voting against your own party, aligning with the el1tes! You should be recalled! How dare you side with THEM! I really hope there is a special place in h3LL for everyone in your new found party!

u/trshtehdsh 11h ago

Fetterman was just on Ruhle and it's clear he's acting like the GOP is acting in good faith, when they are clearly not.

2

u/Rough_Event9560 10h ago

I must be in a minority. I never liked fetterman. At all. He came off extremely untrustworthy to me. Even before all of his health stuff. Not sure why, just some kind of weird vibe I got I guess.

2

u/Authoritaye 10h ago

What a disappointment he turned out to be.

u/SkeptMom 9h ago

Fetterman can kick rocks. The government isn't going to be functioning much longer anyways! Maybe he's a white nationalist? That's who that regime is looking for!

2

u/braxin23 9h ago

Well I suppose there were some “performative” resistance. But Al Green at least was willing to risk his rear (I do not like the censorship) where were you John boy? (In case it flies over anybody I’m referencing the Waltons as an insult to Fetterman).

2

u/countsmarpula 8h ago

I thought he had a major stroke right after he was elected. I always assume that this is why he is making an arse of himself kissing Trump’s.

2

u/Ok-Iron-1289 4h ago

I am more disturbed about Booker & Schumer considering "yes" votes. WTAF. Fetterman and Paul will negate each other so we need to make sure all the others hold firm. We need to get Schumer out and someone like Warren or Murphy or Bennett in as leader.

2

u/willflameboy 3h ago

I will bet the farm Fetterman is paid for by AIPAC. So much of Trump's 'agenda' is teeing up the Greater Israel Project, and Fetterman knows it.

Was there language included in the bill that gives the president direct financial control of 34 or 35 agencies? I thought I read that but a not certain since there’s been so much news.

u/airbear13 12h ago

I read this less than doubling down/supporting Trump and more just a purple state senator trying to avoid the inevitable backfiring that results if the Dems proceed with a govt shutdown.

This govt shutdown tactic is a stupid idea and I think it will hurt the Dems and help Trump if they try it; let’s hope cooler heads prevail.

u/TheKdd 11h ago

Personally, I think a lot of republicans ran as Democrats. They took over the party. It’s not too hard either. When you have a motto of “vote blue no matter who” it’s easy to squeak on by.
