The House will vote on a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that will extend the program until July 2.

A key federal spy tool, FISA 702, is at risk of sunsetting unless Congress can pass an extension of the authority before Friday.

Congress should stop treating reauthorization as a once-every-few-years standoff and move to a shorter, recurring authorization period.

Democratic support will be crucial to getting an extension of the government spy program across the finish line.

Senators have threatened to withhold votes on a clean FISA extension until Trump nominates a new DNI to replace acting Director Bill Pulte.
