Senate Votes to Allow FBI to Look at Your Web Browsing History Without a Warrant

The US Senate has voted to give law enforcement agencies access to web browsing data without a warrant, dramatically expanding the government’s surveillance powers in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The power grab was led by Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell as part of a reauthorization of the Patriot Act, which gives federal agencies broad domestic surveillance powers. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT) attempted to remove the expanded powers from the bill with a bipartisan amendment.

lines are definitely blurred considering the movement between the two.

FOX news contributors joining the Trump campaign & Trump campaigners leaving for FOX news.

they are as close as it gets to state-sponsored media within the major networks IMO.

Would you also agree that when a Dem is president, CNN is pretty close to state-sponsored media in the same way?

It's terrible when someone admits they were wrong....
No, what is terrible is when people make false statements. But for the current administration it is par for the course. What is surprising is that McConnell did admit that he was wrong. It gives one hope that after Trump politics may be able to return to normal. Where politicians will actually think before they say something.

I agree that they are all full of shit. But part of the reason I hate the republicans so much at the minute is that they are so corrupt and so brazen about it all. I was never deluded enough to think that Trump would ‘drain the swamp’, but I am sadly surprised by how low the republicans have sunk.

I mean, both parties are really blatantly corrupt. Both "teams" suck.

Criminal group that hacked law firm threatens to release Trump documents
A cybercriminal gang that hacked a major entertainment law firm claims it will release information on President Donald Trump if it doesn’t receive $42 million in ransom.
The criminal group posted on its blog a threat to publish files related to Trump.

“The next person we'll be publishing is Donald Trump. There's an election race going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry on time,” the group wrote, giving a one week deadline. “And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don't want to see him as president.”
