Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has once again emerged as the his party’s «voice of reason» after he denounced the Los Angeles riots for their «anarchy and true chaos» and Democratic colleagues attempt to characterize the anti-ICE riots as «peaceful protests.»

«John Fetterman is once again a voice of reason within the Democrat party,» University of Pennsylvania grad Eyal Yakoby, who has frequently spoken to the media about antisemitism on college campuses since 2023, posted to X Monday. 

Fetterman issued a strong message on X Monday evening denouncing the riots in Los Angeles and included a now-infamous photo showing a rioter standing on a car while waving the Mexican flag surrounded by raging flames. 

«I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that,» Fetterman posted. «This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.»

The message received strong support among conservatives who have balked at Democrats attempting to portray the riots as peaceful and only turning violent and chaotic when President Donald Trump activated the National Guard over the weekend.

«We conservatives were wrong about John Fetterman,» one social media commenter posted, referring to how conservatives were quick to denounce Fetterman’s 2022 Senate run. «He seems to be the only voice of reason on the left at this point.» 

«You are welcome to come to the winning side like the rest of us…» comedian Rosenne Barr responded.

«He is 💯 correct. As I have always said, anyone who engages in this type of conduct, whether in LA, in Minneapolis, in Portland, or on January 6th should be arrested and prosecuted,» New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler responded. «Causing violence, physical damage or harm is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated.»

«Why aren’t more democrats saying this?» Republican Minnesota politician Joe Teirab posted. «To me, this is obvious and common sense.»  

«Senator John Fetterman should lead the Democrat party,» another account posted.

«Sen. Fetterman appears to be the only prominent Democrat to denounce the rioting. Everybody else is as quiet as a mouse (or as a clenched fist). Didn’t they tell us that ‘Silence is Violence’?» another wrote. 

«True,» former Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker posted in response to Fetterman’s message.

«Once again, my friend @JohnFetterman is simply telling the truth,» Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt posted in response.

This is far from the first time Fetterman has found himself being praised by conservatives and typical critics of the Democratic Party. Fetterman was among a handful of Democrats to denounce anti-Israel protests that took over college campuses after war broke out in Israel in 2023. He praised Trump for ending the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran and re-imposing sanctions against the nation in 2018.

FETTERMAN CALLS OUT ‘ABSOLUTELY ABSURD’ PANDERING TO FAR-LEFT DEMOCRATS

Fetterman was vocal about Democratic missteps during the 2024 presidential election, remarking in the lead-up to Election Day that Trump support in the Keystone State was «astonishing» and condemning Democrats who slammed Trump as a «fascist» after the election. 

Conservatives are praising Fetterman as the Democrats navigate their future after a disastrous 2024 election cycle that saw Joe Biden exiting the race with just over 100 days left in the cycle and Kamala Harris launching a truncated presidential campaign that failed to rally support against Trump’s bid.

Republican senators roll out DOGE budget proposals for Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

EXCLUSIVE: A group of DOGE-minded lawmakers is rolling out a series of budget proposals to add to the Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act narrowly passed by the House.

The effort, led by Senate DOGE Caucus Chairwoman Joni Ernst, will include several major proposals forged by Republicans from both chambers, seeking to help offset trillions in extant government spending.

While a $9.4 billion rescissions package, a formal request from the executive branch to codify its DOGE cuts, is in the works, proponents of the Senate DOGE package say their total estimated savings would accentuate that and also surpass it in value.

«We have a ‘big, beautiful’ opportunity to reduce reckless spending and save billions of dollars,» Ernst told Fox News Digital Thursday. 

«Defunding welfare for politicians, stopping bogus payments and ending unemployment for millionaires are just the start of my commonsense solutions to continue rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. Washington has lived high on the hog for far too long, and now is the time to tighten the belt,» the Senate DOGE chairwoman added.

Senate DOGE addendums to the Big Beautiful Bill Act during negotiations will include a plan from Ernst called the ELECT Act, which she said claws back hundreds of millions of dollars treated as «welfare for politicians.»

While $320 million from the fund was diverted to the Secret Service last year, the current $17 million sitting in the account is expected to rise to the $400 million it typically sat at by the end of the year, Fox News Digital has learned.

Partnered in that first piece of the DOGE package is also language stripping former presidents of certain perks like additional taxpayer-funded office space and non-security-related staff.

More than a dozen Senate Republicans also signed onto that portion of the package.

«The federal government must be held accountable for every tax dollar spent,» said co-sponsor Mike Lee of Utah.

House DOGE Caucus Chair Aaron Bean, R-Fla., also contributed to the package. The Senate version of his DOGE in Spending Act will be included in Senate negotiations.

That portion requires any government expenditure to be accompanied by a tangible record to be provided to the Treasury after DOGE found $160 billion in taxpayer funds being distributed without an identification code or in a fraudulent manner.

«The American people deserve a government that is efficient, accountable and fiscally responsible. That’s why the House successfully advanced DOGE reforms through reconciliation that will safeguard America’s financial future,» Bean told Fox News Digital.

«I encourage the Senate to build on the work we’ve done in the House to deliver lasting fiscal responsibility to the American people.»

Other pieces of the Senate’s DOGE package include ending what proponents call «unemployment for millionaires,» disqualifying people earning more than $1 million per year who lose their jobs from any unemployment support.

More than $271 million had been disbursed to that bloc between 2021-2023, proponents said.

Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., a former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is leading the Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallet Act in the lower chamber. The bill’s language, which ends taxpayer-funded union time when government workers negotiate their contracts while on the clock, will be included in the Senate DOGE package.

Another portion will compel the sale of six unused or underutilized federal buildings in Washington, D.C., that lawmakers say would free up $400 million in savings annually.

The final portion will «snap back inaccurate SNAP payments,» Ernst said.

The effort will work to identify errors, force collection of overpayments to SNAP recipients and hold states with high levels of their own payment inaccuracies accountable for their negligence.

In 2023, approximately $11 billion in SNAP funds were overpaid, but the package’s authors noted individual errors of $54 or less aren’t included in the tally.

Democrats have been critical of DOGE efforts and the separate rescissions package. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., told Fox News Thursday a successful version of the latter hasn’t passed since the first Bush administration.

«Congress’ role in setting spending would be done away with, so this first rescission should be defeated,» he said.

Los Ángeles: así funcionan los grupos de WhatsApp que se organizan para avisar de las redradas migratorias

Published

on


El mensaje llega a través de las redes sociales y se replica en pocos minutos en cientos de grupos de WhatsApp. Son avisos de alerta. En pocas palabras, activistas de organizaciones defensoras de los derechos de los migrantes advierten a los vecinos de Los Ángeles sobre la presencia de patrullas del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) en determinado punto de la ciudad.

“En estos momentos ay (sic) mucha actividad de ICE en Baldwin (Hills)”, escribió el miércoles 11 en su página de Facebook la combativa organización conocida como Unión del Barrio, que tiene casi 300.000 seguidores en esa red social.

No fue el único mensaje del día. Otros fueron acompañados por videos que alertaban sobre la presencia de agentes de migración en South Gate, Firestone Boulevard y Downey, entre otras zonas de la ciudad militarizada por orden de Donald Trump para reprimir las protestas contra las redadas migratorias.

La alarma se activa de inmediato. Los vecinos de la zona advertida replican el mensaje en sus grupos de mensajería instantánea y todos se encierran en sus casas. Los que están en camino suspenden el viaje y esperan a que la redada finalice.

“Nadie sabe cómo y cuándo puede caer la migra. La gente sigue trabajando. Lo hacen con mucho temor. Pero los vecinos se han organizado. Entre ellos se comunican cuando hay presencia de agentes del ICE en sus vecindarios”, dijo a TN el director de la American Friends Service Committee´s, Pedro Ríos, una organización que defiende los derechos de los migrantes.

Los vecinos protestan y se organizan para evitar las redadas migratorias

Miles de personas salieron a protestar en los últimos días en el centro de Los Ángeles contra la oleada de redadas migratorias en distintos puntos de la ciudad. En las movilizaciones hubo disturbios, incendios de automóviles y saqueos. Decenas de personas indocumentadas fueron arrestadas y deportadas, según denuncian activistas.

Trump envió en respuesta a 4000 miembros de la Guardia Nacional y 700 marines para reprimir las protestas.

Pero los vecinos hispanos no solo protestan. También se organizan.

“Han tomado cursos (sobre sus derechos), patrullan sus propias comunidades, se alertan a través de grupos de WhatsApp, se pasan mensajes, se asesoran. Si alguien ve una patrulla de la migra avisan y envían una foto o video”, contó Ríos.

Las organizaciones defensores de los migrantes no solo se limitan a advertir a los vecinos. Su labor es mucho más profunda. Una vez identificado un procedimiento migratorio y alertado a través de sus redes sociales, van al lugar de la redada.

“Usualmente lo que hacemos es ir al sitio. Hacemos presencia y les hablamos a los vecinos por megáfonos para avisarles que no salgan. Los agentes no pueden ingresar a las casas sin una orden. Así evitamos que los detengan en las calles”, contó a TN el activista Oscar Galindo, vocero de la agrupación californiana “Un día sin Inmigrantes”.

La población hispana se muestra agradecida. “Gracias y bendiciones por su labor de estar alertando a la comunidad”, respondió Bernabé Cornejo en un mensaje en Facebook.

“Esto es prácticamente una cacería”

Mientras tanto, en las calles, los agentes del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) “perfilan racialmente” a los transeúntes. “Si tienen caras de mexicanos los detienen. Esto es prácticamente una cacería. Por eso el objetivo es que nadie salga porque la migra no puede quebrar puertas”, dijo Galindo.

Ese componente racial en las razias que denuncian las organizaciones de migrantes llevó a la solidaridad de otras minorías.

“La gente de la comunidad negra en South Central nos está llamando para preguntar cómo pueden ofrecerse voluntarios para defender a la comunidad de ICE”, escribió en un posteo en Facebook el grupo Unión del Barrio.

Una usuaria le respondió con un pedido de ayuda: “Que vengan a Compton. Acá está lleno de guardias por la Alondra y Atlantic”, escribió Cecilia Ramírez.

Son cientos de mensajes en cada posteo en redes sociales. Algunos piden mesura, otros claman por un líder que aglutine la protesta y muchos se encomiendan a Dios.

Para Ríos, Los Ángeles tiene una cultura de resistencia que la diferencia de otras ciudades de los Estados Unidos. Pero las protestas, de a poco, comienzan a propagarse por todo el país. Por lo pronto, ya hubo manifestaciones en Nueva York, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Filadelfia, Boston y Washington.

“Esto se puede agravar. No pueden enviar a las ciudades tropas de combate que no tienen entrenamiento sobre cómo tratar a la sociedad civil”, concluyó.

Los Ángeles, Donald Trump, inmigrantes
