The House Judiciary Committee has unveiled its long-awaited, bipartisan Section 702 reform bill. Like the Government Surveillance Reform Act—but unlike the House and Senate intelligence committee proposals—this bill would provide real, meaningful reform. 1/12

Lawmakers released this massive investigation today in response to our reporting @themarkup, finding tech companies acted “with stunning disregard for taxpayer privacy” xitter.cf/SenWarren/status/16791…
Today I released a new 54-page report revealing that Big Tax Prep companies have recklessly shared personal and financial data of millions of taxpayers with Big Tech for years. Regulators need to fully investigate and prosecute those who violated the law.

Unbelievable. Richard Glossip was minutes from death at the hands of the state of Oklahoma. incredible coverage of his case for years by @LilianaSegura and @chronic_jordan. Incredible work by the law firm Reed Smith in uncovering powerful evidence of his innocence.
BREAKING: Oklahoma AG files request to vacate conviction of Richard Glossip, almost 25 years after he was first sent to death row for the murder of Barry Van Treese. Glossip has always insisted he is innocent. Story to come with @chronic_jordan
