Reporting from @politico suggests House intelligence committee leaders want at least part of the floor debate on Section 702 to happen IN SECRET. If true, these are bush league tactics and a new low for opponents of surveillance reform. 1/8

1. FBI Director Christopher Wray just told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Congress (1) MUST reauthorize FISA 702, and (2) MUST NOT impose a requirement that FBI obtain a search warrant before conducting “backdoor searches” of American citizens through the 702 database.

Bipartisan, bicameral #GSRA would stop the surveillance abuses that have run roughshod over our privacy, civil liberties, and Fourth Amendment rights for years. This is how Congress can #fixfisa.
The bipartisan Government Surveillance Reform Act would stop warrantless surveillance as a condition for Section 702 renewal.
The bill has diverse political support, including @ACLU, @EFF, @FreedomWorks, @Restore_the4th, @NACDL, @iDueProcess, and others:

The bipartisan, bicameral #GSRA will create new safeguards for government surveillance, reform outdated surveillance laws, establish protections for Americans, and enforce accountability for abuses. This is the landmark bill Congress needs to #fixfisa.

NEW: A bill introduced today aims to reform #FISA Section 702 to protect privacy w/o compromising #NationalSecurity.
"If passed, it would be the most significant surveillance reform legislation since FISA itself."

Demand Progress Policy Director @SeanVitka on #GSRA: "The Government Surveillance Reform Act meets this once-in-a-generation moment, and threads the needle. It creates a path, the only path forward for #FISA, and it meaningfully restores Americans’ privacy."

🗣 MPD is set to buy drones and we are 7 days away from the public hearing!
Council is not voting up or down so this hearing is our only chance to intervene.
It’s true many police depts across MN have drones–but they aren’t MPD.
ALT Mpls public hearing on drones, Aug 24th 1:30pm City Hall
