Last week, 42 House Democrats voted to reauthorize a little-known law that lets the regime spy on American citizens.
Fortunately, there’s still time to stop this civil liberties disaster — but your senators need to hear from you about Section 702 of FISA.

🚨 BREAKING: the House again postponed a vote to reauthorize #Section702, a controversial #surveillance authority repeatedly abused by law enforcement & intelligence officials to pull up Americans’ private messages without a warrant. @cendemtech.bsky.social has long called for reforms.

JUST IN: Kash Patel parts company with some lawmakers on right and left ( including @BasedMikeLee ) by rejecting a warrant requirement to use surveillance data about Americans #section702 #FISA www.politico.com/live-updates...
Kash Patel says warrant requirement for Section 702 searches isn’t practical
“Having a warrant requirement to go through that information in real time is just not comported with the requirement to protect American citizens,” Kash Patel said.

As @raskin.house.gov noted earlier tonight, the new "probable cause" section in the #FakeWarrant Mike Johnson deal just lets the FBI or other agents determine what "probable cause" is. No judicial warrant needed. It's a joke. #VoteNO #Section702 #FISA

Their biggest hurdle? House Republicans cannot get their shit together long enough to do it.
So let's take advantage of their dysfunction, call Congress, and ask them for serious reforms to Section 702.

Yes, with the vote on #Section702 nominally only a day away, the #FISA games continue. Yesterday, DoJ barely avoided Cato seeking a contempt motion against the regime for its misconduct in this #FOIA case. My latest, out now:
