59 members of the Senate voted in favor of my amendment to block warrantless government (failed by 1 [View all]

Fifty-nine members of the Senate just voted in favor of my amendment to block warrantless government surveillance of Americans' browser history. It failed by just one vote. McConnell is that much closer to giving Bill Barr the green light to spy on Americans' private information.

Mitch McConnell is forcing a Senate vote on his amendment to give Bill Barr warrantless access to Americans’ browsing history. I’ve heard a lot of bad ideas in my lifetime, but this is one of the worst.





These are the Dems who voted against our privacy rights, and for helping give traitor Barr the green light for snooping, SMDH
