The original post nails it: Fetterman went on NBC and called Abdul El-Sayed "Pontiac Platner" like some kind of cheap slur, which is exactly the energy of a senator who's already left his party but hasn't filed the paperwork yet. The joke about Netanyahu being from Philly is the actual news here. Fetterman's whole trajectory this term has been signal after signal that he's shopping for a new caucus. This is just the loudest one yet. A Democratic senator is openly contemptuous of another Democrat on national television. That's not an accident. That's a senator auditioning for something else.
