The CFTC is taking its first steps towards becoming our national gambling czar. Demand Progress Education Fund, @RealBankReform & @Public_Citizen call on the agency to reject prediction markets like Kalshi & Polymarket and close the door to unfettered, nationwide gambling.

Congress just passed a short-term FISA bill. This means efforts to pass a long-term extension w/o privacy reforms failed again. This is a win for bipartisan privacy champions & a warning to Congress: Next time, come to the table w/ actual privacy reforms or this happens again.

Great piece by @jamesjbaratta on the FISA mess, calling out the Dem collaborators. While everyone's talking about warrantless spying on Americans, James highlights a possibly bigger issue: unleashing AI on the massive dragnet of intercepted communications. prospect.org/2026/04/30/ai-…

Senators should take @RonWyden’s deal for a short-term FISA extension in exchange for declassifying the secret FISA court opinion. Opposing this deal means keeping Americans in the dark about government surveillance and plunging the Senate into chaos. demandprogress.org/wyden-to-force…

JUST NOW: @SenTomCotton threatens @RonWyden for trying to declassify a secret court opinion on systemic FISA abuses before any long-term extension.  “One of these days there are going to be some consequences, and it may be while I’m the chairman of this committee”

SHAME! 42 House Democrats just voted to give Donald Trump the unreformed surveillance power that he asked for. Now we move to the Senate where bipartisan reformers like @SenatorDurbin, @BasedMikeLee, @RonWyden & @RandPaul are fighting for real privacy reforms for FISA.

House floor debate is HAPPENING NOW on FISA Section 702 reauthorization. I’ve seen a new email from @jahimes’ staff confirming that “Ranking Member Himes will vote ‘yes’” on the revised bill this afternoon.

Americans want real solutions that will make their lives materially better, but just the same old politics. That's why Demand Progress is so excited about the @USProgressives New Affordability Agenda to lower costs for working families by taking on special interests.
Congressman Greg Casar@RepCasar

Today we are announcing the Progressive Caucus’ New Affordability Agenda. Donald Trump lied about bringing down costs. We need an actual plan to make things cheaper by taking on corporations ripping people off. Under this plan, every American family saves money. Here's how -->

As the FISA bill implodes, Rep. Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee, was encouraging his colleagues to vote for a bill that did not include warrants for spying on Americans. buff.ly/kUJAsnV

Emails obtained by @LeverNews show how @jahimes is whipping votes behind the scenes to support Trump's and the defense-industry's FISA surveillance bill. His support comes after a 2022 ODNI memo that found agents conducted 278k "noncompliant" searches. With @veronicaricco
