Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.
Good summary of last night's ultimately failed shenanigans on FISA from @jamesjbaratta.bsky.social. Reform advocates are in the best position they've been maybe ever. prospect.org/2026/04/17/m...
I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads:

I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs.
1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702.
2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law.
The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
“Over the past 15 months, the [Trump] administration laid off more than 7,500 Social Security employees, which worsened Americans' access to their earned benefits and gave DOGE free rein to pilfer their most sensitive data.” – Sen. Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov
Sen. Wyden: Trump is suing the IRS over his tax returns being released. Will you recommend the taxpayer pay him? IRS CEO: I'm not involved in the matter Wyden: What advice did you get from your ethics office? IRS CEO: Advice from my ethics office being what? Wyden: This is a conflict of interest
WYDEN: Are you gonna recommend the US taxpayer pay Trump $10 billion? BISIGNANO: I'm not rendering an opinion WYDEN: Give me your opinion! You're ostensibly somebody who is supposed to be doing stuff
These issues cut across party lines. Trump and Stephen Miller need both Republicans AND Democrats to keep these powers. If all of this scares you, I encourage you to make your voice heard.
My bill, the Government Surveillance Reform Act, would close all of these loopholes and finally provide real privacy for Americans. Congress must pass the reforms in this bill and restore Americans’ rights against advances in AI and surveillance tech.
Everyone should be able to agree: The government has no business buying up data on Americans with no checks and oversight. The government has no business using *foreign* surveillance powers to spy on Americans.
I’ve been fighting these abuses for years. But few administrations have posed as big a threat as this one. Congress CANNOT rubber-stamp more unchecked spying powers for any President, let alone Trump.
These powers are terrifying. ICE shouldn’t be able to buy lists of protestors. Kash Patel shouldn't be able to spy on women getting abortion medications. Stephen Miller shouldn’t be able to spy on critics, claiming connections to foreign “antifa” threats."
That’s not all. Current law also lets the Feds buy all sorts of sensitive data on you from shady data brokers, with just a credit card. The Feds can feed that data into powerful AI systems to spy on you. Kash Patel recently confirmed to me he’s buying your location data.
There is a little-known law called Section 702 of FISA. The federal government has abused it over and over to try and spy on Americans, including protestors, elected officials – one NSA employee even spied on people he met through an online dating app.
The federal government – ICE, FBI, and more – is spying on you without a warrant. This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is responsible for a huge share of intel collected by the U.S. Lawmakers and civil liberties advocates are worried it enables warrantless spying on U.S. citizens. n.pr/41wU5YA
Sen. Wyden: Republicans and the Trump administration specifically killed the direct file program and put those workers back at the mercy of the tax software giants, who overcharge for a service that ought to be free.
