## Resource

Washington’s clock is ticking as lawmakers scramble to reauthorize Section Seventy-two of the FISA Act before it expires Friday — a vital tool for tracking terrorists and foreign spies. But President Trump’s surprise appointment of Bill Pulte, a housing executive with zero national security experience, has thrown a wrench in the process. Top Democrat Jim Himes called it one of the worst moves of Trump’s term, warning it’s effectively killed reauthorization hopes. While the House passed an extension, it’s stalled in the Senate, and Himes is urging the President to reverse course. Even some Republicans are sounding the alarm, demanding contingency plans for intelligence gaps. With the deadline looming, the stakes couldn’t be higher — and the nation’s security hangs in the balance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
