‘Dangerous and Shameful’: 42 House #Democrats Help #GOP Send #Trump Spying Bill to Senate
“It was these Democrats’ responsibility to stand up against this administration, and they voted to stand down instead,” said one campaigner.
Jessica Corbett, Apr 29, 2026
Excerpt: " 'The 42 Democratic votes to advance Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump’s #surveillance agenda are dangerous and shameful,' she declared.
" 'These Democrats defied their constituents and common sense to undercut meaningful privacy reforms in the House and instead voted to hand over sweeping spy powers to the Trump administration,' she stressed. 'This means continuing #warrantless backdoor searches and allowing an increasing number of federal agencies to exploit the data broker loophole to supercharge #AI and fuel mass #DomesticSurveillance.'

Um, let's give them "some guidance," eh?
Dem Leaders Aren’t Even Bothering to Rally Caucus Against #Trump #DomesticSpying Powers
Grassroots opposition to renewing #Section702 of #FISA is building, thanks in part to fears about #AI used to sort Americans’ data.
Matt Sledge, April 14 2026
"The House of Representatives is set to vote Wednesday on renewing a spy power that grants the Trump administration warrantless access to thousands of Americans’ communications.
While uniting against President Donald Trump on many fronts, Democrats are split on what to do over the domestic spying power — and the party’s leadership isn’t giving much guidance, according to a congressional notice obtained by The Intercept.[...]

If you’ve followed Wyden’s career, you know this is not a man prone to hyperbole — and you know his track record on these warnings is perfect, this “directly affects the #privacy rights of #Americans.”
