  1. Yesterday, the House voted for a funding bill with an extension of the Patriot Act hidden within it. Instead of debating the merits of warrantless data collection, leadership used the threat of a shutdown to get members to vote for warrantless spying.

  2. Trump campaigned & won on a less interventionist foreign policy. This has emboldened some Republicans to follow their conscience on this issue. But sadly, at the same time, it’s caused the media & some congressmen on the anti-war left to switch positions.

  5. The House just rushed through a funding bill (CR) with an extension of the hidden within it. Members were given less than 24 hours to read it. Americans deserve better. Kudos to the 10 Democrats who voted against this bill. Roll call:

  6. 230 members of Congress just voted to waive the rule that gives us 72 hours to read the Continuing Resolution. Why is that significant? This CR contains a last minute unrelated provision to extend the Here’s the roll call for the rule change:

  8. Join me at 11:05 AM on the to hear about Congress’ plan to sneak an extension of the Patriot Act into the Continuing Resolution funding bill today. The mainstream media isn’t covering this. SAD!

  9. I predict Democrats will vote on a party line to suspend the 72 hour rule to pass this. But after the rule is suspended, I suspect several Republicans will join most Democrats to pass the CR with the Patriot Act extension. Here’s a phone directory

  10. The scam here is that Dems are alleging abuse of Presidential power, while simultaneously reauthorizing warrantless power to spy on citizens that no President should have... in a bill that continues to fund EVERYTHING the President does... and waiving their own rules to do it.

  11. Today, while everyone is distracted by impeachment drama, Congress will extend warrantless data collection provisions of the , by hiding this language on page 25 of the CR that temporarily funds the Govt. To sneak this through, Democrats are suspending the 72 hour rule

    The deep state was an inevitable consequence of the administrative state. Bureaucratic experts are not magical humans devoid of political opinions. They have enormous power, it was always foolish to think they would wield it in some kind of bizarre apolitical neutrality.

  16. We have created a situation of dependency in the Middle East where any withdrawal will be considered 'untimely' by the establishment in Washington, D.C. At some point, we have to start correcting these mistakes. Watch the video below from a recent hearing on US policy in Syria:

  18. The folks who swarmed the SCIF didn’t even get near the machine. Thank goodness. Also, I would provide a picture but I’m not allowed to take a camera in.

  19. I’ll be a swamp pariah for exposing this but I can’t keep the secret any longer... The best coffee machine in Congress is inside the secret room (SCIF) where Intel Committee hearings take place. It has 3 kinds of coffee beans that can be ground up to make any ☕️ your ❤️ desires.

  20. Thank you for standing up for fairness and making sure could answer my question. The chairman definitely wanted to shut down her powerful testimony, even though just moments before they allowed the Democrats to go 2 minutes beyond the timer.
