@SpeakerJohnson 19 Republicans withheld our votes in order to preserve Constitutionally guaranteed rights.

By refusing to honor the Fourth Amendment, you’re jeopardizing the continuation of FISA.

Include a WARRANT requirement for US citizens if you want Republicans to pass this bill.

I’d like to see us shift military assets from Iran to Ireland to help the resistance.

Erin go Bragh

Article 61 of the Magna Carta gives people the power to legally overthrow a tyrannical government.

Remember that.

Ohio secretly gave Amazon, Google, and Meta $600 million each in tax breaks to build data centers

The contracts are to last 40 years and cannot easily be undone

[Roberto Shenanigans @Rob_Shenanigans]

The Ohio Department of Development just gave $2.3 billion (likely "significantly higher") in "uncapped" sales tax breaks to Google, Meta, Amazon, and others to build AI data centers in Ohio.

Your state government sold you out again, Ohio.

@GovMikeDeWine Pathetic excuse for a governor

I finally found an issue that the left and right can agree on.

No more Flock cameras.

No more mass surveillance.

We didn't consent to this.

We refuse to give up a little liberty for your so called safety.

You can stick your mass surveillance cameras right where the sun don't shine.

We're a Free country and we'll defend freedom at all costs.

[Rep. Andrew Clyde @Rep_Clyde]

We cannot allow our Sweet Land of Liberty to erode into a surveillance state.

NO clean FISA reauthorization.

Defend the 4th! 🇺🇸

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

We need to stop the backdoor searches of Americans’ data and prevent the government from spying on U.S. citizens without a warrant based on probable cause.

[Rep. Michael Cloud @RepMichaelCloud]

As technology advances, we have to be careful that in solving real problems we do not create new ones. A mandate that turns every American driver into a node for government data gathering is not a safety solution. It is a surveillance infrastructure that intrudes on the privacy of law abiding citizens who never asked to be monitored. Our constitutional liberties do not get suspended just because technology makes it convenient to do so.

[Rep. Scott Perry @RepScottPerry]

Mass surveillance treats every American Citizen like a suspect.

Freedom requires privacy.

DON’T SPY ON ME.

[Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf]

Less 1984. 👁️

More 1776. 🇺🇸

REFORM FISA. DON’T SPY ON ME!

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

A couple of skate punks showing more spine than 96% of the chest thumping “MAGA patriots.”

When regular people start doing this, we don’t just reclaim our privacy... we reclaim the country.
