Fetterman aligns with Trump on AI push, warns China benefits from US 'overreaction'
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Saturday dismissed "AI doomsdaying," warning that China benefits from "overreaction" by the United States as the two countries compete for dominance in artificial intelligence.
Fetterman shared an article on X highlighting a Bloomberg analysis examining what it described as the narrowing U.S. lead over China in the AI race and the faster pace at which Chinese companies are deploying advanced models.
The Pennsylvania Democrat reacted to the report by arguing that advancements in AI are critical to national security.
"AI supremacy and energy dominance underpins our national security," Fetterman wrote.
CHINA IS BUILDING AN AI WAR MACHINE. WASHINGTON MUST WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE
Fetterman added that pulling back on the emerging technology would only benefit America's competitors.
"China continues to fuel and benefit from our overreaction," he wrote. "I reject the political pandering and hyperbole over data centers or AI doomsdaying."
Saturday's post was Fetterman's latest call for the U.S. to aggressively pursue AI development.
SEN BERNIE SANDERS: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS COMING FOR THE WORKING CLASS. WE MUST FIGHT BACK
Fetterman's stance puts the Pennsylvania Democrat largely in step with Trump on the need to accelerate AI development and expand the nation's data center infrastructure.
Earlier this month, Fetterman reacted to an article reporting that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was eyeing a potential pause on AI development, arguing such a move would be welcomed by China.
"America must lead in the development of AI, otherwise we live under China's rules," Fetterman wrote. "That must not happen."
Fetterman has also championed the development of data centers. In March, he pushed back against the prospect of imposing a moratorium on new AI data centers in the U.S., blasting the proposal as "China First."
His comments came after President Donald Trump earlier this week encouraged governors and local officials to welcome the construction of AI data centers.
AMERICA NEEDS THOUSANDS OF BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS TO MANUFACTURE OUR AI FUTURE
"The construction jobs are enormous. We're building the biggest plants anywhere in the world. And I can say, if I were the mayor of a town or the governor of a state, and I had a chance to get a big plant in an AI plant or a data center, I would absolutely want it because the jobs are enormous, and the money paid, the taxes paid are just enormous," Trump said at the White House on Wednesday.
The president also said the AI industry needs "a little public relations help" as Americans have expressed concerns about data centers being built in their communities.
A Gallup poll from May found a majority of Americans opposed the construction of new data centers near where they live.
Those surveyed who opposed the facilities cited concerns including their electricity and water consumption and potential environmental impact.
THE WAR ON DATA CENTERS JEOPARDIZES OUR ECONOMY AND NATIONAL SECURITY
Trump signed an executive order in July aimed at expediting the permitting process for data centers.
Regarding the regulation of AI, Trump suggested the industry "may be bigger than the internet."
"We're leading by a lot with AI. We want to keep it that way. We want to regulate, but we want to have regulation where they can continue to lead, not regulation that's going to stifle a very important industry," Trump said.

Bear crashes couple's anniversary getaway, rummages through Tennessee tea shop before jumping on counter
A couple's anniversary getaway took a wild turn when a bear strolled into a Gatlinburg tea shop and began rummaging through merchandise before suddenly jumping onto the counter in a startling encounter caught on video.
The couple, Victoria Puyol and Joshua Card, were visiting Gatlinburg to celebrate their seventh anniversary when they stopped at The Spice & Tea Exchange on Friday, which is where Card spotted an unexpected visitor near the entrance.
"There's a bear," Card recalled saying.
At first, Puyol said she didn't quite process what was happening, but when Card and the store clerk repeated themselves, she turned and saw the animal standing in the doorway.

The couple recalled guidance to back away from bears, but as they stepped away, the bear ventured farther into the store. The clerk directed them behind the register, where they had access to an emergency exit.
The curious intruder appeared particularly interested in the shop's inventory, tearing into a sweet-tea blend and investigating tea diffusers as a crowd gathered outside. An employee from a neighboring store sounded an air horn, the couple said, but it appeared to have little effect on the bear.
Card began recording as the bear approached the counter.
"Hey, what you doing there, buddy?" Card can be heard saying in the video.

The bear then turned and jumped onto the counter, prompting Card to step backward.
"He's talking to this thing like it's a puppy," Puyol recalled. "It's a bear. It's not a puppy. It's a bear."
Card said he initially thought the animal might have been a "show bear" on a leash with a handler nearby because they were in such a populated area. He quickly realized it was a wild bear.
Card, a military veteran who also has experience as a lifeguard, said his background dealing with emergency situations helped shape his reaction. He described feeling uncertain about what the young animal was capable of and whether he should intervene or simply give it space.
"This didn't really feel like an emergency," Card said. "It felt unpredictable to me."

Card said the bear appeared more curious than aggressive.
"He didn't really seem threatened," he said. "Even when he jumped up on the counter, I was like, okay, well, I'm going to take a step back."
Puyol said she was more shocked than frightened.
"I wasn't scared," she said. "I was just shocked."
"I wasn't like, 'Oh my God, it's a bear, I'm going to die,'" she continued. "No, it was like, there's a wild animal, like eight feet away from me."
Adding to the irony, Puyol said she had repeatedly told Card before the trip that she hoped to see a bear during their anniversary getaway.
"Be careful what you wish for because I wanted to see a bear, not that up close and personal," she said.

The clerk eventually told the couple about another exit through the second floor, but the bear suddenly ran out before they needed to use it. Card and the clerk then shut the door and waited to make sure it was safe before leaving.
Puyol estimated the entire encounter lasted roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
The couple said store employees told them the bear appeared to be a repeat visitor and had entered the business earlier in the week.
The shop also posted a photo of a bear earlier in the week with the caption, "This young bear came into our shop today, snagged some sugar and came back for more!"
Now that they made it out safely, the couple said the encounter made for an anniversary they will never forget.
"The trip has been filled with oddities, and so this just kind of ... fuels that whole experience," Card said.

Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell combine for big nights as Fever fall short against Liberty
New York had to earn this one down the stretch.
Two-time WNBA Finals MVP Breanna Stewart scored 22 points and Leonie Fiebich made an immediate impact in her first game since July 3, adding 20 as the Liberty held off the Indiana Fever 109-102 on Saturday night. Jonquel Jones chipped in 19 points and 10 rebounds for New York, which improved to 23-15.
The game was tied at 100 before Stewart split a pair of free throws to put the Liberty in front. After an Indiana miss, Fiebich converted a basket through contact with 57.5 seconds remaining, though she missed the ensuing free throw.

Caitlin Clark had a chance to answer on the other end, but her driving layup would not fall, and Fiebich came down with the rebound. Astier then drew a foul with less than 30 seconds remaining and sank both free throws to give New York a five-point cushion.
Both teams knew how important this game was, with playoff positioning at stake and the standings tight from third through eighth place. New York led by four at the half, and then Sabrina Ionescu and Fiebich got going. The pair combined for 19 of the Liberty’s 31 points in the period as New York extended its lead to 85-78 heading into the fourth.
Indiana rallied to tie it on Kelsey Mitchell’s 3-pointer with 1:44 left. Mitchell finished with 25 points. Aliyah Boston had 22 and Clark 21.
New York finally had its full lineup healthy for the first time in nearly six weeks as Fiebich played her first game since suffering a foot injury. Jones was back after missing most of the Liberty’s last game against Chicago on Tuesday with a tweaked left ankle.
SPARKS STAR CAMERON BRINK HELPED OFF THE COURT AFTER BRUTAL COLLISION WITH BREANNA STEWART
With Indiana visiting, there were rallies outside the arena before the game both for and against transgender women in sports. Fever reserve Sophie Cunningham had said in an ESPN profile published last month that she was opposed to transgender girls and women competing in girls’ and women’s sports. Cunningham was met with a mixture of boos and cheers from the sellout crowd.
Jones got going early, as she’s done ever since the All-Star break. The Liberty’s 6-foot-6 center had 17 points and seven rebounds at the half as New York held a 53-49 advantage.
The Fever are in the middle of a brutal stretch of five road games in eight days. They have gone 2-2 so far.

Police make arrest after gunfire during California high school football game leaves 1 dead
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in connection to a gang-related shooting that left a 17-year-old dead during a high school football game in Bakersfield, California, authorities told Fox News Digital.
The shooting happened shortly after 8 p.m. Friday at Independence High School as the school hosted Centennial High School for its season opener, according to the Bakersfield Police Department.
Neither the suspect nor the victim attended Independence High School, police confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Police said that while the shooting was not directly related to the football game, it happened while the game was underway. The shooting occurred within the exterior fence of the football stadium, but outside the chain-link barrier surrounding the field and track.
CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION SHOOTING KILLS TEEN, INJURES CHILD AND TWO OTHERS
Officers found the 17-year-old suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to Kern Medical, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities have not publicly identified the victim.
Police announced the arrest of the 15-year-old suspect Saturday on suspicion of murder, firearm-related offenses and participating in a criminal street gang, police told Fox News Digital.
POLICE ANNOUNCE ARREST AFTER 5 WOUNDED IN VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY SHOOTING: REPORT
Investigators said the suspect and victim knew one another and that the shooting "was not a random act of violence."
Police said a fight involving several people happened before the shooting. The gunfire erupted while the game was underway, sending players and spectators from the area, according to reports from the scene.
The game was canceled following the shooting.
Police told Fox News Digital that the gun used in the shooting has not been recovered. Investigators do not believe there are any additional suspects outstanding.
Officers from the Kern High School District, Bakersfield Police Department and Kern County Sheriff’s Office responded to the campus after reports of gunfire.
"Our deepest sympathies remain with the family and loved ones of the 17-year-old who tragically lost his life. We also recognize the impact this incident will have on the family of the 15-year-old who was arrested," the Bakersfield Police Department said.
"Two young lives and two families have been forever changed by an act of violence, and we extend our compassion to everyone affected by this tragedy."
STUDENTS' PRE-PROM GATHERING TURNS INTO DEADLY NIGHTMARE AS BULLETS FLY
Kern High School District Superintendent Dr. Michael Zulfa said Independence High School staff and members of the district police department responded immediately after the shooting to protect students and spectators, and assist law enforcement and emergency personnel.
The school district said it is working with law enforcement as the investigation continues and will review the circumstances surrounding the shooting, Zulfa said. Counseling and other support services will also be available to students and staff.
"Friday night should have been an evening of school spirit, friendship, and community—a time for students and families to come together and celebrate the beginning of a new school year. Instead, an act of violence forever changed the lives of those who were there and has deeply affected our entire District," Zulfa said.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Fox News Digital also reached out to the Kern County District Attorney's Office for additional information but did not immediately receive a response.
Bandido, Athena put on a show at Ring of Honor's Death Before Dishonor in Philadelphia
Ring of Honor’s (ROH) Death Before Dishonor event returned to the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia on Friday night and the fans in the iconic pro wrestling venue got to witness some of the best matches of the year.
Title changes were few and far apart on the show, but it wasn’t for the lack of trying.
COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK
Bandido put the Ring of Honor World Championship on the line against Nick Wayne. The two pro wrestlers put on one of the best matches of the entire year. Wayne was left bloodied after his face was scraped against the side of the steel steps.
The "Most Wanted" man and "The Prodigy" were building momentum to an insane finish. They each hit German suplexes on each other before Wayne nailed a cutter on Bandido. The sequence continued with a poisonrana from Bandido, but Wayne ate it and planted Bandido with a crucifix driver.
Wayne thought he was going to win the match at the end. He hit Bandido with the Prodigy Plex but Bandido was able to catch him off guard and roll him up with a crucifix pin.
Bandido’s victory was just an appetizer for the main event.
Athena was looking to continue her historic Ring of Honor Women’s Championship reign against Stardom’s Hazuki. Two of the best women’s pro wrestlers in the sport right now, Hazuki seemed to have an answer for everything Athena was throwing at her.
But it was pure grit that kept the "Fallen Goddess" alive in the match. She took a huge splash from Hazuki while lying on the announce table. Hazuki also hit her with a suplex on the aisle of the entrance ramp. Sure, Billie Starkz and Diamanté may have been at Athena’s side to back her up, but that’s what they were supposed to do.

Athena finally got a chance to hit the O-Face and pinned Hazuki for the win. Athena’s title reign is up to 1,350 days.
Meanwhile, two ROH championships changed hands.
Action Andretti received help from Hook and Anthony Bowens to help defeat Lio Rush and capture the ROH TV Championship. It is Andretti’s first singles championship as a member of the Ring of Honor roster.
In a Fight Without Honor match, Andretti did what he could to leave Rush bloodied and a little more broken than before he came into the ring. Andretti nailed a gnarly 450 splash on Rush through the table.
Earlier in the night, The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and Dalton Castle put the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship on the line against Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, Blake Christian, Lee Johnson).
Christian was able to get the pinfall with the help of Lethal’s leverage on the outside.
The intensity of the crowd felt familiar as the chants of "this is awesome," rang out through the arena consistently. Now, Ring of Honor looks toward the fall in what’s shaping up to be a solid end of the year for some of its key wrestlers.
Woman in her 30s who pretended to be a child and lived with family found guilty of fraud
A woman in Brazil was found guilty this week of living with a foster family for more than a year while pretending to be a child, officials said.
Amanda Maria Souza de Oliveira, who is in reality 37 years old, was convicted of fraud and false identity on Thursday, according to a translated release from the Court of Justice of Santa Catarina in Brazil.
Oliveira, who the family took in as their daughter for 14 months until her scheme was uncovered, claimed she had fled abuse.
The woman later admitted to creating a false identity and age, the court said.
Oliveira had been living falsely as a child for 15 years in an "elaborate fraud," the Washington Post reported, using a high-pitched, childlike voice and even telling people she had been forced to get hormones to make her look older.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPION WHO WORE WIGS IN FRAUD SCHEME PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGES
She was sentenced to one year, six months and 10 days in prison, along with four months and 18 days of detention.
One of her lawyers, Lúcio Sousa, said that Oliveira’s scheme was how she "survived."
"She admits that she invented an identity," Sousa said before the verdict, according to the Post. "It was the way she found to survive. But she has been a vulnerable person for more than 20 years.
"She has lived on the streets, and there has been no allegation that she obtained any financial advantage, or committed robbery or theft, which, in theory, means the elements of fraud have not been established."
Oliveira said she never meant to hurt anyone.
"Of course, I deceived people, I lied," she said, according to police, the Post reported. "But I didn’t intend to scam anyone."
She said she wanted to experience the love she never got as a child.
"There was a certain void in me, a need to have that kind of care, so I always sought it out," she said.
After the verdict, Sousa said in a statement on Instagram, they would "pursue all appropriate legal measures and appeals before the higher courts."
Hasan Piker sings mocking 'We Are Charlie Kirk' song at live podcast show
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker was seen and heard singing the meme song "We Are Charlie Kirk" at a stop of his "Fear& LIVE" tour over the weekend, drawing a strong reaction online.
Leading a cheering crowd, Piker sang, "We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We'll fight for the Gospel, we'll honor his name," while his co-hosts could be seen laughing on stage. At one point, Piker could appear to be heard saying it was one of the most surreal moments of his life.
Piker, in addition to his streaming on Twitch, co-hosts the weekly comedy and pop culture podcast "Fear&," along with three others. Their live show is on a West Coast swing that began Friday in San Francisco, where the video appeared to be shot, according to a photo Piker shared online of him and his co-hosts.
The song, thought to be AI-generated, was released on Sept. 18, 2025, shortly after Kirk's assassination in Utah. It is in the style of a Christian power ballad, with lyrics like, "He spoke the truth when the cost was high / He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die."
WHO IS HASAN PIKER? MEET THE FAR-LEFT STREAMER WHO IS STIRRING UP CONTROVERSY AND DIVIDING DEMOCRATS
It is frequently used online in memes to mock Kirk and conservatives.
Piker, who has become a political lightning rod for his controversial rhetoric and hard-left views, quickly went viral with the song that appeared to be mocking Kirk, who was revered by many on the political right for his founding of Turning Point USA and work in Republican politics.
"Hasan Piker is engaging in pure, unadulterated evil," Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet wrote on X. "Whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. Proverbs 17:5."
"He’s just a trash human being. Piker was supposed to debate Charlie Kirk a few days after he was assassinated. Piker actually talked about how much the shooting shook him. Now, he’s mocking it all for the pleasure of his loser fans," the Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross wrote.
"[Hasan] Piker making fun of Charlie Kirk on stage… absolutely disgusting," another account wrote.
Piker appeared to make a nod to the song after the show, posting a photo of the show with the caption, "carried the flame tn." One of the song's lyrics is, "We carry the flame."
FLORIDA SOCIALIST ANGIE NIXON SAYS SHE DOESN'T ‘REALLY KNOW’ HASAN PIKER
Piker also reposted an account going after his critics, which read, "The same conservatives crying over Hasan singing a meme song were openly celebrating the murder of American citizens. These people don’t care about anything."
Kirk founded the conservative group Turning Point USA as a teenager and was known for his viral debates on college campuses, in addition to becoming a close ally of President Donald Trump and was a key figure in his 2024 re-election. Kirk also previously debated Piker on socialism.
Piker's influence over the Democratic Party as democratic socialists are ascendant in the 2026 cycle has become one of the top media stories of the cycle. He has campaigned alongside several prominent candidates, including Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
Fox News Digital reached out to Piker for comment.
Deshaun Watson booed by Browns fans, fires back after poor outing opens door for Shedeur Sanders
Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns fan base weren’t shy about showing their disdain for each other Saturday, even as the quarterback is locked in a competition with Shedeur Sanders for the starting job.
So Watson is effectively fighting a two-front war now.
Browns fans don't like that Watson has delivered only 19 touchdown passes in 19 games during his $230 million contract. They don't like that his time with the team has been punctuated by a suspension, a season-ending shoulder injury, a season-ending Achilles injury and another Achilles injury that kept him out all of last season.
Watson is not their guy even though he's on their team.
And in Watson's first game at Huntington Bank Field since 2024, he heard it from the fans as they booed him lustily.
"It sucks," coach Todd Monken said of the fan reaction.
Watson, meanwhile, made it clear that if Browns fans don't like him, the feeling is mutual.
"It's a disrespectful thing," Watson said of the fan reaction. "So, yeah, I mean, I'm going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that.
"Last time I played on this field, I tore my Achilles. And that same fan base, they cheered when I got hurt. So what does that have to do with anything about performance when a person gets hurt, especially for your own city?
"And they cheer."
Watson said he's tried to earn the love of the Browns fans. He thought being effectively away with injuries, doing charity work in town and working hard to get back on the field would endear him to the fans.
"I guess it hasn't," he added. "So that's why I say it's more, it's personal. It is what it is and there's only so much you can do to change that."
That's a huge problem for Watson right now. But that's not his only issue.
The fans who dislike him get an opinion from their seats and then they go home and nothing else happens. But Monken decides who will win the starting quarterback job between Watson and Sanders.
And he thinks it is all definitely about performance.
"They don't want to get booed, it's about playing good football," Monken said. "Let's play good quarterback. Let's play good on offense, play good as a team, and then you don't have to worry about all that.
"When we play good football, everybody will be fine."
So who played "good" this game? It was Sanders over Watson.
The statistics clearly leaned to Sanders who completed 9 of 11 passes for 74 yards with 1 TD and 1 interception. Sanders started the game and played the entire first half, mostly with Cleveland's backups against Buffalo's backups.
Then Watson took over in the third quarter and played with second- and third-string guys against Buffalo's second- and third-string defenders, and he struggled. He completed 5 of 12 passes for 36 yards and threw an interception.
Watson may have collected more boos than passing yards.
Monken, with the help of other leadership within the Browns organization, wanted to pick a starter by the start of next week. That timetable is uncertain now.
Watson only half-jokingly said that if he earns the job, he’ll feel like he’s playing 17 away games this coming season based on the reaction from Browns fans. That won’t necessarily happen because Monken said Sanders offered "a lot there to like" with his performance.
"He plays with a certain amount of confidence," the coach added. "He has gotten a lot better at getting rid of the ball. He wants to make a play."
And he didn't get booed by Browns fans, for what it's worth.
Connecticut police officers shot, suspect killed after attempted arrest sparks hectic chase
Two Connecticut police officers were shot, and a suspect was killed, after an attempted arrest led to a car chase and exchange of gunfire near Hartford late Friday, authorities said.
Hartford police officers were investigating what the department described as illegal activity at about 11:07 p.m., when a male suspect ran from the scene.
An officer chased the suspect and attempted to take him into custody. During a struggle, the officer felt what he believed was a gun in the suspect's waistband, according to Hartford police.
The suspect managed to get into a car and drive away, prompting officers to chase him through the city as information about the vehicle was shared with surrounding police departments.
The chase eventually reached Webster Court in Newington, a town south of Hartford near the Rocky Hill town line.
After the suspect got out of the car, there was an exchange of gunfire that left two officers wounded and the suspect dead, police said.
The wounded officers were identified as Hartford Police Officer Alex Diaz and Rocky Hill Police Officer Jon Escobar.
Both officers were taken to a hospital following the shooting and were later released, according to local authorities.
NYPD OFFICER SHOT, GUNMAN KILLED AFTER ARMED BARRICADED STANDOFF IN BROOKLYN: POLICE
Hartford police said Diaz was released from the hospital Saturday and was recovering at home.
A gun was recovered at the scene, police said.
Authorities have not publicly identified the suspect or provided additional details about the activity Hartford officers were investigating before the attempted arrest.
The circumstances surrounding the exchange of gunfire, including which officers fired their weapons, remain under investigation.
The Connecticut Office of Inspector General is investigating the use of deadly force.
Hartford police referred Fox News Digital's questions about the investigation to the Office of Inspector General.
The Office of Inspector General did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The investigation remains ongoing.
