Hey hive mind - can anyone tell me if the infamous Section 702 of the FISA act is currently authorized? I can find a Wired article about a failed vote on Apr 17, and some stuff about S. 1318 (which isn’t law yet)

Trump 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…

Chances were fading on Wednesday for a breakthrough in Congress to salvage a warrantless surveillance law before its expiration this weekend,
after Trump dug in on naming a close ally who has alienated members of both parties to a top intelligence post.
Unless lawmakers act by midnight on Friday, the law, known as
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, will sunset.
It is the legal underpinning for what is widely considered to be the most po…

The 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 …
