      Classic Democrat maneuvre. Watch, they’ll also remove the filibuster right before getting voted out of office.

      Trump is actually against this and wants his supporters to vote against it. I hate when I agree with him…

    The same guy who helped pen the IoT Cybersecurity bill. This may be worth an eye on.

    If this is about the FISA/RISAA bill, an article is probably a better source of info than a tweet!
