A key provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire Friday unless it is reauthorized by Congress. Section 702 allows for the warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals believed to be outside of the U.S., yet, in practice, it also sweeps up and stores vast amounts of data from people inside the country, including their emails, texts and cellphone data. The FISA provision was enacted in 2008 to legalize George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program that was developed after 9/11.
A bipartisan group of senators is opposing the reauthorization of Section 702 due to President Trump's naming of MAGA loyalist Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, to replace Tulsi Gabbard, who announced her resignation in May. Pulte has no known background in intelligence. He currently serves as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, where he has used his position to carry out Trump's campaign of retribution against his political enemies.
"It took this nomination of a completely unqualified guy to get enough members of Congress to really stop [Section 702]," says Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "It's time to take a look and listen hard about the privacy protections that are needed, at a minimum, for this program to go forward." Cohn notes that the "massive national security surveillance state that was built after 9/11 has always been a threat to freedom."

Amnesty International's 2025 report on the global use of the death penalty finds that executions have surged to their highest recorded number in over 40 years, driven largely by the expanded use of political executions in Iran to "create a climate of fear and intimidation in the society and deter dissent." Amnesty recorded 2,707 executions in 2025. But the data excludes China, believed to be the world's top executioner, because its government does not release any public data on executions. While the majority of countries around the world have banned the use of the death penalty, Raha Bahreini, who contributed to the report, says the 17 countries that carried out executions last year "keep insisting on the use of the death penalty as a tool of control and repression."
