Democratic senator says there ‘needs to be space’ for Fetterman in party as Republicans come to his defense

Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego defended beleaguered fellow Democrat John Fetterman Saturday, saying «there needs to be space» in the party for the Pennsylvania senator.
Fetterman, who won election to his seat in 2022 despite having a stroke on the campaign trail, has been under fire from Democrats, even former staffers who claim to have witnessed erratic behavior.
But Fetterman has also clashed with his party’s progressive wing on Israel and other issues, and his supporters say it is his independent streak that is prompting the whispers.
«There needs to be space for Fetterman and for other senators in our caucus,» Gallego said in an interview in Pennsylvania Saturday, Politico reported. «He still is a senator that fights for working-class people. We may not be 100% in agreement a lot of times in a lot of areas, but we don’t have to be.»
LEAKS TO MEDIA ABOUT FETTERMAN ARE A COORDINATED SMEAR CAMPAIGN, HILL COLLEAGUES SAYS
Gallego was referring to Fetterman’s stance on Israel, his suggestion that Democrats need to work with President Donald Trump, not against him, and occasionally voting for the president’s nominees when other Democrats won’t.
The senator, who spent more than a month in the neuropsychiatry unit at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in 2023 receiving treatment for depression, has also been the subject of several media stories recently that claim he has exhibited strange behavior that has concerned Democrats.

«This is so blatantly coordinated,» media observer and Fox News contributor Joe Concha wrote on social media this week. He shared a link in his post to a Politico report claiming an internal Democratic poll found Fetterman’s popularity faltering in his part of the Keystone State.
The report claimed Fetterman had fallen below 50% in Democratic voter support in Pittsburgh, just a few miles west of Braddock, where he was previously mayor.
Fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican, called the reports «vicious, personal attacks.»
«He is authentic, decent, principled and a fighter,» McCormick said. «These disgraceful smears against him are not the John that I know and respect.»
Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas wrote, «The radical left is smearing him with dishonest, vicious attacks because he’s pro-Israel, and they only want reliable anti-Israel politicians.»

SENATOR SAYS DEMS ‘EAT THEIR OWN’ AS FETTERMAN FACES RENEWED SCRUTINY
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa posted to X, «The media ought to lay off Senator Fetterman.»
Gallego on Saturday warned that the GOP is defending Fetterman with the hope of bringing him further right.
«In the Marines, we call these f—-f— games,» Gallego said, according to Politico.

When asked by an audience member during the town hall why he did a fundraiser with a pro-Trump businessman, Gallego said the man runs «the largest venture capital firm in Arizona.»
«We got so pure that we started kicking people out of the tent. It ends up there aren’t enough people in the tent to win elections,» he added.
But Gallego also had harsh words for the Trump administration.

«Be mad, stay mad and we fight,» he told Democrats during the town hall of how to deal with Trump’s presidency. «How do we fight? We fight them in the courts everywhere we can. We fight in the courts because we believe in the Constitution of the United States. You believe in it, and the country believes in it. … We believe in the United States.»

Congressman whose DC apartment complex was robbed blasts Democrats for criticizing Trump crime crackdown

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Congressman Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, blasted Democrats and the members of the media who have been critical of President Donald Trump sending the National Guard to the streets of Washington, D.C., in an effort to curb the rampant crime plaguing the city.
Hunt also revealed that his own DC apartment complex in the Navy Yard area was broken into last year, leaving a front desk attendant robbed of her belongings just several floors away from the congressman’s own unit.
«Downstairs in my apartment complex, there was a woman who was robbed,» Hunt told Fox News Digital. «She had her computer stolen, her phone stolen, and her iPad stolen right behind the desk, and we were all blocks away from the Capitol.»
«I was a three-minute drive away from the Capitol when this happened,» Hunt added. «Across the street from our complex was where Henry Cuellar was robbed at gunpoint. I don’t understand what these [critics] are talking about. It’s not safe.»
Hunt insists that the city is not safe. (Andrew Leyden/Getty Images)
MS-13 GANG MEMBER ARRESTED IN DC AS BONDI TOUTS ADMIN’S ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ CRIME CRACKDOWN
Trump’s military intervention to combat crime in D.C. has been widely criticized by Democrats, with House Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., introducing a resolution last week to prevent the president from keeping servicemembers in the district.
Because Washington, D.C., is not a state, Trump was able to invoke Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, allowing him to declare a public emergency and deploy federal resources into the area.
«Just like I took care of the Border, where you had ZERO Illegals coming across last month, from millions the year before, I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN,» Trump stated in an August 11 White House fact sheet on the emergency declaration. «Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again.»

DC POLICE ACCUSED OF CHANGING CRIME STATS JUST WEEKS BEFORE TRUMP FEDERALIZED CITY
Hunt also noted the actions of several Democrat governors who used their respective state’s National Guard to combat various issues.
«Tim Walz used the National Guard to implement COVID restrictions on people, not to take care of the murder capital of the United States,» Hunt told Fox. «Gavin Newsom is willing to clean up downtown LA in California for the President of China to come visit, but you won’t clean it up just for everyday citizens when all this crime is happening?»
The White House has also touted the success of the military presence in the nation’s capital, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt telling reporters during a Tuesday press briefing that 465 arrests have been made since the start of the operation, including an MS13 gang member illegally in the US with convictions for drug possession and driving while intoxicated (DWI).

«Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the outstanding work of both federal and local law enforcement, dangerous gang members like the one picked up last night will not be allowed on the streets of our nation’s capital,» Leavitt told the press.
As for the residents of DC, James Laverty, a staffer on Capitol Hill, told Fox News that the military presence has made a «noticeable difference» in the nation’s capital.

«In certain areas, like Navy Yard and U Street, it feels much safer than it did just a week ago,» Laverty told Fox. «This past weekend, there was a noticeable difference in the vibe late at night, and I think it goes without saying that the impact of the National Guard on the streets is the clear reason for the newly found safe sentiment in DC.»

El boom global de las carreras STEM: adolescentes eligen ciencia y tecnología para construir su futuro

Laboratorios repletos de proyectos, aulas interactivas plagadas de dispositivos y conversaciones familiares donde se habla de inteligencia artificial o energías renovables: el fenómeno es mundial. Cada vez más adolescentes de diferentes regiones están apostando por las carreras STEM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas) y la tendencia muestra una fuerza inédita que trasciende fronteras culturales y económicas. Hoy, hablar el lenguaje de los algoritmos, la robótica y el análisis de datos ya no es una curiosidad, sino una necesidad para quienes imaginan su futuro en el mundo contemporáneo.
Según un análisis de The Conversation, el auge de las carreras STEM es evidente en varios países y responde a factores tanto económicos como sociales. En Reino Unido, el interés por estas materias alcanzó un récord histórico en 2025: matemáticas, química y biología se consolidaron como las opciones más populares entre los estudiantes de nivel secundario. Este crecimiento no se limita a Europa. En Estados Unidos, las universidades registran un flujo sostenido y creciente de estudiantes en ingeniería, ciencias aplicadas e informática.
La decisión de orientar la formación hacia carreras STEM tiene un sustento práctico indiscutible. The Conversation y The Guardian revelan que los egresados de áreas científicas y tecnológicas acceden a mayores beneficios económicos y mejores tasas de empleabilidad que quienes optan por otras disciplinas. Los sectores más dinámicos del mercado, desde inteligencia artificial y análisis de datos hasta energías renovables, ciberseguridad y desarrollo de aplicaciones, exigen competencias avanzadas en matemáticas, tecnología y ciencias.

La amplitud de salidas profesionales multiplica las oportunidades para los adolescentes: las ciencias abarcan desde la astronomía y la biología marina hasta la informática, la ingeniería ambiental o la medicina. En este escenario, las posibilidades para quienes eligen STEM se expanden a medida que surgen nuevas necesidades económicas y sociales vinculadas a la digitalización, la sustentabilidad y la innovación.
El boom de las carreras científicas y tecnológicas no solo responde a variables económicas. La cultura digital convirtió a las STEM en una parte ineludible de la vida cotidiana y de la creatividad. Artistas, arquitectos, fotógrafos, músicos o chefs incorporan tecnología, conceptos de física o biología y análisis de datos en procesos creativos y prácticos. Aplicaciones móviles para la salud, sistemas de navegación GPS o la automatización en tareas domésticas son apenas una muestra de cómo el conocimiento científico y tecnológico se ha vuelto indispensable más allá del ámbito académico.
Esta familiaridad con la tecnología y los conceptos matemáticos no solo prepara para empleos calificados, sino que también otorga herramientas esenciales para la toma de decisiones y la adaptación al entorno digital y globalizado que define la vida de las nuevas generaciones.

El auge de las STEM tiene raíces profundas en las transformaciones culturales, sociales y educativas internacionales. La preocupación por la crisis ambiental conduce a cientos de miles de adolescentes a interesarse por la ingeniería ambiental, la biotecnología o las ciencias naturales. De manera simultánea, la omnipresencia de empresas tecnológicas y plataformas digitales refuerza la percepción de que las competencias informáticas son tan necesarias como las habilidades tradicionales en cualquier profesión.
Medios de comunicación y productos culturales cumplen su rol: Blue Planet, presentado por Sir David Attenborough, movilizó el interés global por la biodiversidad marina y la contaminación por plásticos, mientras documentales sobre inteligencia artificial o salud digital disparan el entusiasmo por las disciplinas científicas dentro y fuera de las aulas.
La percepción de que la ciencia y la tecnología constituyen herramientas versátiles, útiles y adaptables se afianza en todos los continentes. Elegir una carrera STEM ya no es solo una estrategia individual para mejorar la empleabilidad: es, para muchos jóvenes, una manera de conectar con los desafíos globales y contribuir activamente al bienestar colectivo.
Desde aprender a programar hasta investigar soluciones para el cambio climático o desarrollar inteligencia artificial ética, las ciencias y la tecnología dejan de ser opciones de nicho para consolidarse como el nuevo lenguaje común de la juventud mundial.
Hoy, los adolescentes que apuestan por STEM no solo buscan transformarse a sí mismos, sino también transformar el mundo que heredan y en el que desean dejar huella.
