Fetterman's Assessment of Trump's Support in Pennsylvania Is Not What the Harris Campaign Wants to Hear

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) told The New York Times that the support for former President Trump in his battleground state is “astonishing.”

In an interview with the paper titled “John Fetterman Fears Trump Is Stronger Than Ever,” the Democrat said he “100 percent” agrees that the GOP presidential nominee has a “special connection with the people of Pennsylvania." 

Fetterman was pressed to explain.

"There’s a difference between not understanding, but also acknowledging that it exists," he said. "And anybody spends time driving around, and you can see the intensity. It’s astonishing. I was doing an event in Indiana County. Very, very red. And there was a superstore of Trump stuff, and it was a hundred feet long, and it was dozens of T-shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds of, I mean, it’s like, Where does this all come from? It’s the kind of thing that has taken on its own life. And it’s like something very special exists there. And that doesn’t mean that I admire it. It’s just — it’s real."

That's Gonna Leave a Mark: Israeli Air Force Just Stripped Iran Naked

Israeli warplanes hit Iran over the weekend while I was enjoying my weekly 48-hour news coma, but being late to this story didn't matter because we're only now learning the true damage done. So let me start by assuring you that the headline to this column is no exaggeration, but stick a pin in that thought so you can take in what the Israeli Air Force (IAF) accomplished. 

Reports are that somewhere between one-third and one-half of the IAF took to the skies on Friday night — a remarkable feat in itself if you know anything about what it takes to ready and arm a sophisticated warplane — and every single one of them returned home safely. 

An open-source intelligence writer who uses the handle Raylan Givens — I've followed and trusted him for a couple of years now — gave the rundown on the operation, "courtesy of IDF Radio and with the approval of the military censor."

"The attack destroyed ALL of Iran's long-range surface-to-air missile batteries," according to Givens' translation of the IDF Radio report. "All long-range detection radars were also destroyed. Iran is left with only short-range batteries of local Iranian models."
