Fox News: Fetterman maverick persona doesn't translate as senator helps block trans sports bill
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., is gaining a reputation as a maverick in the Senate for opposing his party on certain issues, yet his voting record shows alignment with Democratic leadership, particularly in blocking a bill to prevent biological males from competing in women's sports. Polls indicate that a significant majority of Americans, including 67% of Democrats, support such measures.
Despite his outspoken style and some bipartisan actions, including co-sponsoring immigration enforcement legislation, Fetterman's votes largely reflect party lines, aligning with President Biden 97.3% of the time. His recent criticisms of Democratic behavior in Congress further illustrate the tension between his public persona and legislative actions.

The Mirror: Trump says ‘monster’ nukes could be ‘end of the world’ in grim war warning
Donald Trump has expressed concern over the vast nuclear arsenals of the US and Russia, warning that they could lead to the "end of the world." He criticized the expenditure on new nuclear weapons, suggesting that existing stockpiles are already sufficient to cause widespread destruction.
Trump proposed a meeting with leaders from Russia and China to discuss cutting military budgets in half, emphasizing the need for negotiations rather than escalation. He also indicated a willingness to take military action against Iran if negotiations fail.

Khamenei's comments reflect ongoing tensions following Trump's withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018.
The strained relations have led to significant sanctions on Iran and retaliatory actions, including attacks on maritime assets and the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020.

Fox News: DAVID MARCUS: Confusion reigns as Canadians confront Trump’s tariffs
Canadians are increasingly feeling the impact of President Trump's tariffs, viewing them as a personal affront rather than just a business decision. Conversations reveal a sense of economic attack, with calls to boycott American goods and rising nationalism amid the trade tensions.
The situation has contributed to political divisions in Canada, with many expressing frustration towards Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and concern over the cost of living. While the tariffs dominate Canadian news, they receive less attention in the U.S., leading to a growing strain in U.S.-Canada relations.
