… I don't believe anything he says. No, he has voted with Republicans repeatedly. He has confirmed Trump nominees. He has gone against the party, and to do this is really, really crazy.

Supports. The Hill reports that Fetterman and McCormick launched a joint fundraising committee, Common Ground PA, filed with the FEC, and describes it as a political action committee sponsored by both senators.[2]
Supports. Medill and the Inquirer/PennLive both report that the committee was formed or established in July 2026, and Medill reports it raised nearly $250,000 by the end of September.[1][3]
Supports. The Washington Examiner and NewsNation report that the senators formed the joint fundraising committee in July, and NewsNation describes it as a newly formed political action committee.[4][5]
Context. The post's "last month" framing, given its September 12 posting date, points to August, while the sources place the formation in July; this is a minor timing discrepancy rather than a contradiction of the core claim.[1][2][3]
