The political elites are once again manipulating public policy for their own gain while hanging American taxpayers out to dry, with Speaker Mike Johnson ramming through $95 billion in new foreign aid spending with the help of Democrat votes. Meanwhile, Congress has just renewed FISA, prolonging one of the greatest threats to the civil liberties of American citizens. Erik explains how the latest reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act should really be called DISA, because it functions more like a Domestic Intelligence Surveillance Act, complete with expanded definitions that allow the federal government to spy on Americans even more broadly. Not only do tech and communications companies have no choice but to do the government’s bidding, but they’re not even allowed to inform citizens when the government accesses our information.
