Overview

  • Sen. John Fetterman was spotted Monday night dining with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon for about 20 minutes at Butterworth’s, a popular MAGA hangout near Capitol Hill.
  • Fetterman condemned anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles on X, branding their actions “anarchy and true chaos” and calling on Democrats to take a firmer stance on immigration enforcement.
  • He is the sole Democrat to introduce the Laken Riley Act, legislation that would permit the detention of undocumented immigrants accused of nonviolent crimes such as theft or burglary.
  • In January, Fetterman also dined with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago, a meeting that drew criticism from fellow Democrats over his drifting alignment.
  • A recent internal report reveals that some of Fetterman’s staff have privately expressed concern over what they describe as increasingly erratic behavior.
