Breaking: Senator John Fetterman stunned the Democratic Party by declaring he’s the only Democrat willing to keep the government open, insisting, “I remain the one Democrat that refuses to shut our Government down. Our military won’t be paid.” Fetterman framed his stance as a refusal to permit a shutdown that would withhold military pay, positioning himself against colleagues who may support funding standoffs. His announcement triggered fierce backlash from liberal activists and Democratic lawmakers, who accused him of grandstanding and undermining party unity. The development raises immediate questions about Senate strategy and the prospects for averting a government shutdown now.
