Rep. Thomas Massie is breaking with his party again over warrantless surveillance.

Massie said on X that he votes with the GOP 91% of the time, but that's about to drop to 90% because he won't vote to let federal agencies spy on Americans without a warrant. He paired the statement with a screenshot of an email from the White House Office of Legislative Affairs pushing Congress for a clean reauthorization of FISA Section 702, which expires April 19.

The Trump administration is asking for an 18-month extension with no reforms. The House is expected to vote on it next week.

Section 702 lets the NSA intercept communications of foreign intelligence targets that pass through U.S. infrastructure. The controversy is what happens next, federal agencies can then search the resulting databases for information on Americans who communicated with those targets, all without a warrant. The FBI has been repeatedly cited by the FISA Court for misusing the authority to query U.S. citizens, including protesters, political donors, and a sitting member of Congress.

A bipartisan group including Ron Wyden and Warren Davidson is pushing to add warrant requirements before any extension passes. The White House and former national security officials argue a lapse would create a gap adversaries could exploit.

Massie remains one of the few consistent voices in Congress treating the Fourth Amendment as non-negotiable, even when it means voting against his own party and the president. https://blossom.primal.net/9a0d91434e97a3567658b0804c5c6d3e2031a539ea9c19cba3942e411fb62a99.jpg
