House Rejects Bill to Extend Spy Power, All but Assuring a Lapse

The latest: Members of Congress departed Washington on Thursday without acting to extend one of the government’s most powerful surveillance authorities for collecting information on foreign threats overseas, all but assuring that the law will expire. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

Today I voted NO to extend FISA 702 – which would authorize warrantless searches to sweep up data on American citizens on American soil.    The vote ultimately failed 198-218, with both Democrats and Republicans voicing serious privacy concerns. (1/2)

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Act was not vetoed, but rather it was not extended (=not renewed) Still a good thing as it likely will be DOA this Saturday www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

This is good-keeping this tool out of this Admin’s hands (a tool that was dangerous from its start and inc sweeping up Americans data even when supposedly prohibited). Glad Dems stood their ground #fisa #privacy 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

House Rejects Bill to Extend Surveillance Power With FISA Section 702 Set to Expire

Does anybody seriously believe that a piddling thing like THE LAW will prevent the Trump regime from continuing to surveil foreigners abroad without a warrant to acquire foreign intelligence information, or surveilling Americans for that matter? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...
