Josh Paul discusses how Congress and Israeli allies are attempting to solidify the current military relationship by embedding it deeply within the Pentagon's infrastructure through Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Amazing! The House just passed a War Powers Act resolution to end the Iran war! It must now go to the Senate, but it won't need a signature from Trump.

This is the furthest any WPR has gone against the Iran war!

A major defeat for those who wish to continue the war, although it doesn't automatically force Trump's hand.

Several Republicans broke with Trump to get this passed:

Massie,
Fitpatrick,
Davidson, and
Barrett.

Several organizations deserve massive credit for this key win:

@justfp
Action Corps
@FCNL
@NIACouncil
@demandprogress
@PeaceAction

Read the room guys. We don’t want to be Israel and we don’t want Israel to lead our military anymore. We are done with this dynamic.

Donald Trump & Stephen Miller want to keep their FISA surveillance authority with NO PRIVACY REFORMS and 42 Democrats voted to give it to them!

A new vote is coming up soon.

Visit Trumpsfavoritedems(dot)org to tell these Democrats to say no to Trump and protect our privacy.

[Demand Progress @demandprogress]

Call and email Trump's favorite Democrats and tell them to support privacy reforms and oppose his surveillance agenda: https://t.co/ybej4ahOYc

Does it:

Require a warrant if the gov wants your communications? ❌

Require a warrant if the gov wants to buy your location data? ❌❌

Give Congress a chance to weigh in if there are more abuses before the end of this admin? ❌❌❌

It’s another retread masquerading as reform.

[Restore The 4th! @Restore_the4th]

With the new month, comes a new attempt by Republican leadership and President Trump to reauthorize FISA. We've received an advance copy, so let us tell you what's in the bill.

ARE. YOU. READYYY???

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Trump is putting his personal henchman in charge National Intelligence.

This isn't about keeping Americans safe -- it's about weaponizing intelligence against Trump's enemies.

No Dem should vote to extend FISA 702 without a real, iron-clad warrant requirement.

[A New Policy @anewpolicyorg]

If this is correct, why are our contacts *in the U.S. Defense Industrial Base* warning us that Section 224 would expose critical military technologies to exploitation? @RepMikeRogersAL you need to hit the brakes on this legislation. Our analysis is here: https://t.co/smSqjaHuXI

🚨NEW: The latest Economist/YouGov poll finds that a majority of Americans across the political spectrum want a deal to end the Iran war as soon as possible.

Even among self-described MAGA voters, support for ending the war far outweighs support for continuing it.

[Demand Progress @demandprogress]

Trump just named the man behind the investigations of Jerome Powell, Letitia James and Adam Schiff as acting DNI director.

@MarkWarner must not sign away warrantless FISA spying powers to the Trump administration when a man like that is the government’s top spy.

[House Freedom Caucus @freedomcaucus]

🚨FISA EXPIRES IN 11 DAYS!

Americans are sick of Big Brother spying on them without a warrant.

House Freedom Caucus members are fighting back — demanding real reforms to protect our constitutional rights.

Protect the 4th Amendment.
Reform FISA.
Don’t Spy On Me.

According to @Politico, it looks like Republican leadership is once again gearing up to try to move a FISA bill forward, also possibly again without any real privacy reforms. Here are some major problems with this:
