I know the vote to reauthorize FISA’s section 702 is coming up on Wednesday. I strongly oppose a clean reauthorization. I know lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are fearmongering so they can rush this so-called “clean” version through. They’re saying if it doesn’t pass Americans will be less safe because surveillance will “go dark.” That’s a lie. The surveillance section of 702 has already been extended by a judge for another year. There is NO REASON not to pass reforms that will actually help keep Americans safe. I want the data broker loophole closed and an end to backdoor, warrantless surveillance. Any lawmaker who votes for a clean reauthorization will lose my support, because they’ve thrown my privacy under the bus. I will be watching this vote closely. Thanks. Second, we need a War Powers resolution and we need it now. Trump is in over his head; his latest actions show it. Congress needs to re-exert their co-equal authority and get involved in resolving this conflict. No one in Trump’s circle is up to the job. Finally, Donald Trump is failing mentally. He needs to be removed. His post depicting himself as Jesus and his attacks on the Pope are dealbreakers. Impeach him. Remove him. Call for the 25th amendment. I don’t care how it happens— I just want him out.
