    This doesn’t bode well for the prospect of Jeffries keeping his caucus together once he’s anointed as Speaker after the midterms. This is pitiful.

    Yeah, they’re terrible people that have betrayed their electorate – but that’s nothing new unfortunately.

    What kind of bribery/kompromat is going on behind the scenes to make these assholes vote in favor of warantless spying on American citizens?

    I don’t want to ever hear again how Dems shouldn’t be criticized since Republicans are in charge. This is all the proof needed to show that the Democrats don’t give a fuck about us either

    FISA isn’t a “Trump Spying Bill”.

    Common Dreams is in the Fox News and Breitbart tier of “journalism”, I don’t understand why people keep falling for their shit.

  6. Democrats should be a unified voting block. The Republicans sure as hell do it, and it’s the only way to fight back.

    In a normal world and normal times, I wouldn’t say that. But here we are.

    Did this article really not name the 42? All that shit talking and they don’t even name and shame?

  8. Under this administration, any one of us, for almost any reason, could be investigated and possibly jailed.

    He doesn’t need these powers…he WANTS these powers and he will ABUSE them.

    We should be surveilling them and holding our own elected members of congress accountable. Not the other way around.

    Democrats don’t care about you are me.

    It’s a uniparty.

    And that party is money.

    If you want to change that, make Democrats earn your vote. Don’t vote for them or send them money unless they actually meaningfully oppose fascism and help the working class.

    And you know what directly caused this?

    “Vote Blue No Matter Who” caused this.

    Because when you abandon all standards and just vote for anyone with a pulse and a D next to their name on the ballot, you end up sending cowards and sycophants and collaborators to Washington.

    If you told people to “vote blue no matter who,” you caused this.

  12. The only time you join with fascists is if the threat of not acting is greater than fascism.

    NEVER STOP OPPOSING THE FASCIST GOP.

    42 dems helping reauthorize warrantless surveillance after everything we just learned about the fbi abusing it is genuinely disgraceful. party over country strikes again.

    Given the dysfunction of Democrats I am convinced they have been significantly infiltrated by Republicans.

  15. Might as well vote to allow Trump and his Cabinet to involve the right of Prima Nocta while we are at it.

  16. >FISA’s Section 702 allows the US government to surveil electronic communications of noncitizens located outside the United States to acquire foreign intelligence information, without a warrant. However, Americans’ data is also swept up, and civil society, along with some lawmakers from both major parties, has demanded reforms to prevent further abuse by federal agencies.

    >In the lead-up to the vote, progressives such as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) warned that “this bill has no meaningful reforms to stop warrantless surveillance, directly undermining the Fourth Amendment” to the US Constitution, which is supposed to protect Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures.

    Every day I am more disappointed in the United States

    Why would they be able to pass measures to pull information from noncitizens outside the country? Where are they getting it from? Demanding it from Apple and Microsoft and Samsung and Facebook?

    The Dems: a right wing party in any other nation, helping the Republicans and Maga ratchet the USA ever further toward fascism.

  18. American civilians need to stop identifying as Democrats. You’re not one of them unless you’re a millionaire.
