House Passes $886 Billion National Defense Authorization Act
The bill extends Section 702 of FISA, which allows mass warrantless surveillance of Americans

On Thursday, the House passed the $886 billion 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which funds the Pentagon and some military spending for other government agencies. The NDAA has already been passed by the Senate and now heads to President Biden's desk.
The NDAA includes a provision to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence, which allows mass warrantless surveillance of Americans. US government agencies portray the law as designed to target foreigners outside of the US, but it allows the collection of any communications they have with Americans, including emails and text messages.
Section 702 was due to expire at the end of this year, but the NDAA extends it to April 19, 2024. According to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), the House only needed 143 votes to strip the extension out of the NDAA, but only 118 House members voted "nay," including 73 Republicans and 45 Democrats.
"Here are the 118 Representatives who voted to protect your right to privacy. (Nay to FISA warrantless surveillance as part of NDAA)," Massie wrote on X with a picture of the roll call. "We lost but it was close. We needed 143 votes (1/3) to stop FISA since they suspended the rules to bring it to the floor."
