The House of Representatives voted Friday to reauthorize FISA and warrantless spying on Americans, with Speaker Mike Johnson casting the tie-breaking vote. Johnson had said a confidential briefing had made him change his mind on support for FISA. As we reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna requested a "rare procedural maneuver" that would force a second vote on Monday.
The House has one last chance to vote down the expansion of Biden's surveillance state.

Please tell your representative to vote “no” on the motion to table the motion to reconsider.#GetAWarrant
The House has voted again to authorize warrantless spying.

There is absolutely no reason to waste a perfectly good Tuesday in November on Republicans anymore.

If your "Representative" is on this list, find someone to primary them. It can literally be the homeless guy from the street. That would be better than what we have now.

So this time, more voted for it... this is like openly mocking us all

With the exception of its capacity and willingness to do us harm, our government is no longer worthy of being taken seriously.

Maybe Johnson could give us just a hint of what he learned in that classified briefing that made him overlook "hundreds of thousands of abuses" of FISA by the FBI.
