Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) vowed Monday to work to block the $14.9 billion sale of U.S. Steel Corp. to Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel, which he described as an “outrageous” move.
The deal was announced Monday, prompting the stock prices of U.S. Steel to jump up 25 percent. Fetterman criticized the sale, saying in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that the move was “wrong for workers and wrong for Pennsylvania.”

This means the Japanese forgot to make their campaign contributions to Fetterman.
Fetterman is now a populist.
Well, we’re living here in Allentown
And they’re closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem, they’re killing time
Filling out forms, standing in line
Not used to seeing Fetterman with an actual brain that is functioning.
I’d guess this is the fetterman body double...
And I won’t believe otherwise until we see a fingerprint match.
I was struggling to find a word to describe Fetterman as he is today. I think “populist” might be it. And his stances are evidently genuine. Here he is at a pro-Israel rally, draped in an Israeli flag. Folks who are just playing games wouldn’t do that.
However, Fetterman probably still has all his socialist ideals. Time will tell if he moves more to the left or more to the right. Given how “different” Fetterman is, I wouldn’t bet much either way.
“John Fetterman would make a better Senator than Dr. Oz” was not on my Bingo Card.
Fettermunster taking a page out of the ol’ Kyrsten Sinema playbook. Dude may be more populist than I thought, but certainly no conservative.
You could be onto something...maybe the stroke killed the progressive side of his brain.
I 100% support forbidding sale of US Steel to a foreign company.
An argument can be made he's more MAGA than Dr. Oz ever would've been.
I truly believe had he been elected, Oz would've immediately denounced Trump and joined the Romney/Collins/Murkowski wing of the GOP Senate.
He’s a rutabaga; he doesn’t know what he wants.
It was a fatty, subcutaneous cyst; it was removed surgically.
The Japs will produce better steel, be more profitable and make a better work environment for the workers.Let me tell ya, the Japs know how to make steel with the best quality.
Take a peek at post #26. Can you imagine Mehmet Oz doing the same thing? Draped in the Palestinian flag, maybe. The Israeli flag, not one chance in a million.
......I think his atture predilections in going to work in the Senate “probably” reflect his degree of respect for the institution.
That said, I wish the Senate deserved the respect that people like Grassley think it does.
In a conversation this morning, I remarked that I THINK that the number of CLEAN Senators and Representatives (out of 535), as determined by a hard, aggressive, no holes barred investigation, could probably all be put inside one school bus. That’s how much respect I have for them.
U.S. Steel is a mere shadow of its former self, but it is still one of about two dozen Fortune 500 companies with its corporate headquarters in Pennsylvania.
Switch parties?
The rats are not very honorable. Fetterman does seem to have some of it in his DNA.
Talk’s cheap. Watch how he votes.
