Bernie Sanders, Fetterman now finds himself a target of attacks from his own party.”I have more success in working with the one on the R side of the aisle than I do with the D side of the aisle,” Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., said at a recent event, contrasting Fetterman with Sen. David McCormick, R-Pa.DAVID MARCUS: CAN JOHN FETTERMAN SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FROM ITSELF?

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Congress is one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown after the Senate advanced a new, last-minute deal, but it came at the price of Republicans ceding ground, temporarily, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.The Senate unanimously advanced a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wee hours of Friday morning, 42 days into the shutdown that was spurred by the Trump administration’s immigration operations in Minnesota.It was an agreement that largely gave Schumer and Senate Democrats what they wanted — no funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). But it lacked the stringent reforms they desired, like requiring judicial warrants or requiring agents to unmask.SCHUMER, DEMS BLOCK DHS FUNDING AGAIN, TRUMP INTERVENES TO PAY TSA AGENTS While the deal mirrors previous attempts by Democrats to pass similar legislation that carved out immigration funding, Thune argued that Democrats are still walking away empty-handed in the policy fight over immigration enforcement. “We’ve been trying for weeks to fund the whole thing,” Thune said. “And, I mean, in the end, this is what they were willing to agree to.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! California is “functionally bankrupt,” climate entrepreneur David Friedberg said in a recent interview with “Sourcery,” pointing to pension liabilities, legal constraints, and government spending as drivers of a potential long-term fiscal crisis.Friedberg was asked to share an under-discussed “hot take” on politics and policy. He framed California’s financial outlook as a largely overlooked issue with implications that could extend beyond the state.”People don’t realize how screwed California is, and I worry that if California falls, so does the union,” Friedberg said.He argued that the scale of California’s fiscal exposure is tied directly to its public pension system, which guarantees retirement benefits to government employees and retirees.
