Congresswoman Debbie Lesko
@RepDLesko
I am very disappointed that I was unable to be in Washington, D.C. today due to having the flu. Had I been able to vote, I would not have supported today’s FISA reauthorization without protections against warrantless searches of U.S. citizens’ communications in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) 702 database.

Some of the comments are brutal.
The problem isn’t Democrats or liberals. The problem, and its a massive one, is the Rinos in the GOP who become Uni Party once they get to DC.
I’ve been screaming this for months. Maybe a few People will finally wake the HELL UP and see this too!!!!!!
The Deep State also arranges honey traps for heterosexuals and fudge traps for homosexuals. One way or another, they will control you.
the problem is the electorate ...
You’re right, Gran ... the replies to Debbie Lesko’s ‘sorry, I didn’t vote, I have the flu’ tweet ARE (rightly) brutal ...
(Hubby said the same thing that many of these are saying) ...

Congresswoman, I hope you’re feeling better.
I do hope that the motion is reconsidered & you’ll be able to vote for a warrant when you return to DC.
Please understand that every single vote is critical & that our rights are on the line.

Pathetic. The bare minimum requirement of your job is to show up and vote. If you can’t handle that, you should not be in the role.
Have the sniffles? Set up a bed in your office, take some Tamiflu, stay hydrated, and get your ass on the floor to vote.

OUCH!!
Blunt Truth.
Rep. Madison Cawthorn exposed them and look what they did to him.
We know what is going on, stopping it is another story.

Very true, Gran.
So don’t moan and groan about liberals or dems anymore. Throw your comments on the idiots who votes these Rings into office!
I’m not angry at you at all. Its just time its time for accountability.
So glad Michaelah was interviewed, by Lawrence, on F&F.
She gets to clap back at any (unhinged) distractors.
Thx for those links.
Trump Calls on Arizona to Use ‘HEART’ and ‘COMMON SENSE’ to ‘IMMEDIATELY’ Pass Pro-Choice Legislation in Arizona
Mediaite ^ | April 12, 2024 | Isaac Schorr

President Donald Trump called on the Arizona legislature to use “HEART” and “COMMON SENSE” and pass a pro-choice bill in a post on Truth Social Friday.
“The Supreme Court in Arizona went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864. So now the Governor and the Arizona Legislature must use HEART, COMMON SENSE, and ACT IMMEDIATELY, to remedy what has happened,” wrote Trump. “Remember, it is now up to the States and the Good Will of those that represent THE PEOPLE. We must ideally have the three Exceptions for Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mother. This is important! Democrats are the EXTREMISTS – They support Abortion up to the moment of birth, and even execution of Babies, in some cases, after birth. This should not be. Arizona Legislature, please act as fast as possible!”
Earlier this week, the state Supreme Court in Arizona decided that an old law predating the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade outlawing abortion except for when the mother’s life is threatened was still valid. Trump’s call for the expansion of abortion rights in the Grand Canyon State comes just days after he promised not to back any pro-life legislation if he retakes the White House this November and represents an implicit retraction of his call for states to navigate the abortion debate on their own.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it. From a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state,” explained Trump in a statement earlier this week. “Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others. And that’s what they will be at the end of the day. This is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart or in many cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself. Do what’s right for your children. Do what’s right for our country, and vote.”
Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Senate in Arizona, has also called for pro-choice legislation in the state and promised not to support any federal bans on abortion if she’s elected.

is anyone watching the presser with TBE Speaker and President Trump on RSBN?
Yes, I am.
Waiting for the question on FISA.

@DC_Draino
Few people realize what FL Rep @realannapaulina did today
The FISA bill was passed by the House without extra warrant protections to stop the FBI from spying on Americans
So Rep. Luna requested a very rare procedural maneuver to force a re-vote on Monday and it worked
Remember, the warrant amendment failed by only 1 vote and a GOP Rep was out with the flu today
Rep. Luna may have just singlehandedly saved American civil liberties
The fight continues Monday…

@realannapaulina
You cannot have a free and open society with the warrantless spying of Americans. Today, the bipartisan vote to force intelligence communities to get a warrant was lost by one vote. In an effort to stop this, I requested a rare procedural maneuver that will force a second vote on Monday. Hopefully we can change minds. I will be writing all 435 members over the weekend. Please help me. Talk to your reps. We have one last shot at this.

Thx for finding and posting this DC Draino tweet, Gran.
Will be sharing.
Johnson and Trump speak at Mar-a-Lago—starts at 1:05:29
This was at 5:06 pm EDT
I’m not sure I am totally understanding what APL did, some on our side are really confusing the issue.
But I’m going to hold out hope that the 86 pubbie votes for FISA get their phones and e-mails fried.
Debbie Lesko better have a miraculous recovery and get her fanny to DC for the Mon. vote.
If there is still hope of killing it they better get ‘er done.
As Trump said at MAL today, I hate FISA!
You know they spied on my campaign.
And I say, they probably are doing it now too, Mr. President.
