About this episode
The episode discusses the impending expiration of FISA and Trump's demands for a Pentagon reconciliation package amidst political resistance.
FISA is headed for a cliff as Democrats oppose even a short-term extension ahead of Friday’s expiration — all while Trump’s push for a $350B Pentagon reconciliation package faces serious resistance. Anna and Jake break down the latest. Plus, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer backs Rep. Haley Stevens — and what Schumer told our reporters about Democrats’ “multiple paths” to the Senate majority. Watch this episode on YouTube here! Punchbowl News is on YouTube.
