Johnson’s House Wins Hit by Intra-GOP Chaos as Senate Looms

House Republicans logged wins under Speaker Mike Johnson by advancing a budget framework to restart DHS immigration enforcement funding and a three-year FISA reauthorization, but the path faces Senate resistance and internal GOP battles, especially over the Farm Bill’s ethanol provision (E15) and a side deal to decouple it from the bill.

Himes pushes court review guardrails on Section 702 searches amid FISA extension debate

Jim Himes proposed an amendment to the Section 702 FISA extension requiring FBI to obtain five-day approval from a special court before collecting Americans’ communications data, with emergency exceptions and a possible data purge if the search is later found improper. The measure underscores a tense fight over privacy safeguards as the House prepares to vote on an 18‑month extension of 702, with Speaker Mike Johnson resisting floor amendments and the White House seeking a clean bill ahead of the April 20 deadline.
