Congressional Republicans are racing to extend a controversial spying program before it is scheduled to lapse Friday at midnight. House lawmakers voted 235 to 191 in a bipartisan manner to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for the rest of President Donald Trump's term.The vote split Republicans with more than 20 GOP privacy hawks voting against a three-year extension of the warrantless surveillance program.The successful vote leaves the Senate little time to act before the fast-approaching April 30 deadline.SPEAKER JOHNSON ONE STEP CLOSER TO RENEWING CONTROVERSIAL SPY PROGRAM AFTER CONSERVATIVES FALL IN LINEA swath of House conservatives voted against the FISA renewal bill, citing concerns that the measure does not include more stringent privacy safeguards, such as a requirement for intelligence agencies to obtain a warrant before accessing Americans’ data. The spy law — considered to be one of the government’s most powerful surveillance tools — allows the U.S. government to gather intelligence on foreigners abroad who are using U.S. platforms, even when those communications involve Americans."We should all be standing up for the Fourth Amendment," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a leading GOP privacy hawk, said during debate on the FISA renewal bill Tuesday.House leadership attempted to win over some conservative holdouts by adding language permanently banning the Federal Reserve from issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDC) to the FISA renewal bill.But Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has warned that the sweetener for privacy hawks will be interpreted as a poison pill in the Senate, where Democrats fiercely oppose a CBDC ban."They know that," Thune told reporters Tuesday, referring to House Republicans.

- Florida Democrat Protests With Color-Coordinated Bullhorn as GOP Majority Approv...
Screenshot via X. Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon (D) brought a bullhorn to the House floor Wednesday to amplify her protest as the Republican majority voted to approve new congressional maps at the urging of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). The unusual mid-decade redistricting is part of an effort by President Donald Trump to gain advantages for the GOP in November’s upcoming midterm elections, with control of the U.S. House and Senate on the line. Multiple other states, under both Republican and Democratic majority control, have redrawn their maps in various ways under their own laws, sparking partisan rhetorical battles and numerous lawsuits, as the expected impact on November remains to be seen. The redistricting debate has largely followed along party lines, depending on who is in the majority and who will be disadvantaged by the new lines, and as expected, Florida Democrats have vociferously opposed DeSantis’ maps, which has been described as likely to reduce their seats in the state’s congressional delegation by four. That four-seat Republican gain, however, remains to be seen as the calculations were based on the most recent past election and both Trump and the GOP’s popularity have taken significant hits in the polling since his second presidential term began. The immigration policies pushed by Trump and DeSantis have been identified as influencing Hispanic voters souring on Republicans, a potentially election-swinging factor in a state like Florida. The Sunshine State also has a “fair districts” constitutional amendment that was passed in 2010 that is certain to be at the heart of the expected litigation to follow these new maps being signed into law. On Wednesday, as the vote was taking place in the Florida House, Nixon marched down the aisle with a bullhorn in hand, in a bright pink coordinated with her outfit. As the Florida House approved the @GovRonDeSantis map with new congressional districts– Rep. @AngieNixon grabbed a bullhorn and protested the passage on the floor. "This is a violation of the constitution," Nixon shouted. Here's the clip: pic.twitter.com/01iuWl17uR — Forrest Saunders (@FBSaunders) April 29, 2026 “This is an assault on our democracy!” shouted Nixon. “This a violation of the Constitution! It is!” She continued to protest against the “illegal redistricting” as the other House members submitted their votes using the chamber’s electronic voting system, with DeSantis’ maps being approved on a party line 83-28 vote.

Screenshot via YouTube Bloomberg video game reporter Cecilia D’Anastasio revealed this week how online influencer Clavicular, born Braden Eric Peters, shot to fame from relative obscurity in recent months. Clavicular, 20 and a streamer on the gaming platform Kick, has been the subject of splashy profiles in recent weeks in major publications from the New York Times to The Atlantic to GQ, all focused around his highly controversial “looksmaxxing” ideology. Clavicular, whose online persona is closely tied to highly controversial far-right influencers like Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate, has been steeped in controversy in recent months for promoting the use of steroids, drugs, and other extreme body-altering techniques in his clips, often aimed at young boys. D’Anastasio dug into his reach, writing, “Between March and April, 70,000 clips of his content have been viewed 2.2 billion times across short-form video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, according to data posted to X by a marketing firm he works with.” She added: Clavicular amassed such fame without a large, dedicated following. Instead, his name rocketed to the top of social-media feeds due to modern marketing techniques bankrolled by Kick, the site where he is paid to livestream, according to an interview with Anthony Fujiwara, who runs a company, Clipping, that promotes Clavicular’s content online. Kick is a subsidiary of Australian media firm Easygo Entertainment, which owns the multi-billion-dollar offshore crypto casino Stake, which Clavicular promotes in his Kick livestreams. Last week, YouTube banned two of Clavicular’s channels over what the company saw as his promotion of performance-enhancing drugs. Around the same time period, Clavicular was hospitalized after he appeared to overdose during a livestream at a Miami nightclub. “The influencer reaches a wider audience than his follower counts suggest thanks to 1,600 Clipping contractors boosting video clips of his content, according to data posted to X by Clipping,” D’Anastasio noted in her deep-dive report, adding: The contractors are paid by Clipping, which receives money from Kick, where Clavicular earns much of his income from filming himself for hundreds of hours every month, according to Fujiwara. Those contractors, called “clippers,” earn income plucking potentially viral moments from those long Kick livestreams and scattering them across social media. Clipping is a new line of work tailored to changes in social media platforms that reward short videos online, and where anyone with the right clip can see traction with an audience.
