"FISA Renewal Bill Clears House Hurdle Despite Republican Revolt"

The House passed a modified surveillance bill, reauthorizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, after an earlier version failed. The bill now goes to the Senate, with a two-year reauthorization instead of five years. House Speaker Mike Johnson, facing challenges to his leadership, organized a classified reading room for members to view information ahead of the vote. The final vote was 273-147, with bipartisan support. The White House reiterated its support for the reauthorization, emphasizing its importance for national security.
