Tomorrow, the Senate is holding a confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton’s nomination to be Director of National Intelligence. We’re urging senators to push for answers on closing the backdoor search loophole & the data broker loophole. He should commit to defending your privacy.

“From the expansion of facial recognition technology to buying Americans’ data from third-party data brokers and building tools of mass surveillance for ICE, we’re witnessing an intense assault on our foundational Fourth Amendment rights." -@DonBellCT prismreports.org/2026/07/07/tec…

America turns 250 today. We're celebrating the only way we know how: by doing the everyday work of building a government that answers to the people — not to any one person. Happy birthday. Now let's keep it. bit.ly/4gQMgpg

🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that police conduct a Fourth Amendment search when they obtain data through a geofence warrant, holding that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location data.

How much more does Congress need to see to understand that reform is the only path forward?

FISA is set to expire today—but what does that mean for our national security and Americans’ privacy?🧵

Wyden already put a UC request on the floor to extend FISA 702 for several months with simple transparency measures added. Cornyn blocked it. They’d rather let FISA 702 expire than open the door to any meaningful reforms
Alex Bolton@alexanderbolton

Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso says Republicans will make UC request on Senate floor this afternoon to pass a temporary extension of FISA 702 powers. "There will be a unanimous consent offer and the goal is to get this completed so we don't put the country at risk," he says.

Huge win today in the FISA reform fight: a bipartisan majority of the House has REJECTED a “clean” reauthorization that would have done nothing to protect your privacy. We need to keep pushing Congress to do the right thing. Make your voice heard: act.pogo.org/a/tell-congres…

@Restore_the4th That’s exactly right. Should’ve dropped in the quotes 💯💯 Enough members seem to be finally waking up to the reality of how much of a disaster FISA has been for our Constitution and rights, but waking up isn’t enough—we need real reform now.

@ConPro Truth is, 702 was never "designed for foreign surveillance", but to preserve some form of George W. Bush's illegal mass domestic surveillance program. The foreign "targets" exist to give 702 constitutional cover. The aim was ALWAYS to get at domestic comms without a warrant.

Reminder: the reauthorization of a program designed for foreign surveillance can’t pass…because members of Congress want the government to get a warrant if they engage in surveillance of Americans. Surveillance hawks won’t even allow a vote. They know they’d lose.
Burgess Everett@burgessev

Sen. Wyden is offering some FISA extensions, one would require a warrant for queries of US citizens Sen. Cornyn is objecting, says it "makes no sense whatsoever"
