Summary
Trump’s latest gambit on FISA Section 702 could unravel a critical surveillance tool—demanding election reform attached to its renewal, a move Senate leaders deem unrealistic. With a June 12 deadline looming, GOP leadership pushes for standalone passage, hoping Trump will sign it without the politically shaky bill. The chess match intensifies as Trump’s shifting stance on short-term extensions and Mike Lee’s SAVE America Act adds chaos, while Democrats brace for fallout from the acting director drama. National security vs. political theater—this could reshape the landscape. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
