@ddayen The first thing we should do is pass a federal data privacy law. Shamefully, we’re years behind on that. I don’t think it’s going to pass in the next 13 days. 702 is not going to be the for...

@ddayen For some reason I’m having a hard time making this clear: we absolutely should take up the statutes, rules and regulations governing the purchase of data. We should also pass a federal data...

@sr2ndblack @ddayen @RonWyden No. My position is very clear: the government does not buy data as part of FISA 702. Ever. Not a position. A fact. I’m sure the government does buy data, which is fa...

This is immensely disturbing language from a US President. Donald Trump has already dragged the United States into a wildly unpopular and unnecessary war that has cost 13 American lives. Further es...

@ddayen This is flat out not true. I have maintained over and over again that no data is purchased pursuant to FISA 702. It may be elsewhere under other authorities. All of those are worthy of cons...

@ZachDoe4 @TheJusticeDept Not true. Dayen is the one peddling untruths. Read his tweet. My quote is clear. 702 does not authorize purchase of data. No matter how often you or anyone else says it does.

Since the president’s speech an hour ago, oil prices are up $5 a barrel and stock market futures are down 1%. Going to be a wild night on Truth Social. And I’m still not sure what the hell he s...
