Congress didn’t reach an agreement last night.💖

“A plan to vote on two competing House bills that would reauthorize a powerful surveillance authority ran into trouble Monday evening, with Republicans at odds over proposals that take different paths on privacy protections.”

“Republicans exiting a meeting Monday evening spoke against quickly holding floor votes on the two longer-term reauthorization bills.”

“And there’s a ready off-ramp to avoid an immediate floor showdown. A “clean” extension of Section 702 through April 19 is part of the final version of the fiscal 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, which both chambers look to take up this week.”
