@cdarwin@c.imOne of the main areas of pushback that Republican leadership in Congress has faced in trying to pass an extension of "section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" (Fisa) is push to keep the bill “clean”,
-- despite GOP hardliners insisting that reforms and additions are needed.
Some members of the conference, like Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, have said that
if Donald Trump’s sweeping voter ID bill ends up falling off th…

@cdarwin@c.imTrump is pressuring lawmakers to pass the SAVE America Act voter suppression bill
by attaching it to housing and foreign intelligence surveillance legislation currently pending before Congress.
The SAVE America Act would take a giant leap towards the Trump administration’s goals of wresting control of elections away from states.
It would also potentially disenfranchise millions of voters through its provisions requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registrati…

@cdarwin@c.imHouse votes for a short term extension to warrantless surveillance law -- in a setback to Trump plan
The House of Representatives voted early on Friday to briefly extend an expiring and controversial law that grants the US government sweeping powers for warrantless surveillance.
The decision to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa) until 30 April came via unanimous consent
shortly after 208 Democrats and 20 Republicans came together to defea…

@cdarwin@c.imThe US Congress has passed a 45-day extension of a law that grants US intelligence agencies warrantless spying powers.
Bitter infighting over section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in the Republican wing of Congress has repeatedly tanked conservative leaders’ plans to renew the controversial surveillance law for multiple years.
The deadlock continued on Thursday, as the Republican House speaker Mike Johnson refused to include key reforms pushed by hardliners in …

@cdarwin@c.imThe powerful but controversial surveillance program known as
Section 702 is about to expire
and its reauthorization faces political obstacles in the Republican-controlled Congress, despite the White House’s backing.
Administration officials have credited Section 702 with helping to rescue American hostages overseas, enabling the seizure of fentanyl precursor chemicals from China and even preventing a terrorist attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Austria.
