Amid an increasingly dangerous world and once-in-a-generation events kicking off in the U.S., Democrats are letting America’s most powerful counterterrorism tool go dark.

The intelligence derived from the FISA 702 program has saved American lives, prevented terrorist attacks, and stopped drug runners from getting into this country.
And Democrats are shutting the lights off. It’s an untenable and irresponsible position.

The Working Families Tax Cut Act allows Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money and unlocks new opportunities.
It is the largest middle-class tax cut in history, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime.
Americans who benefit most from these tax cuts make less than $100K.

Democrats have made it clear this year that for them, it’s always politics over policy.
Republicans will continue to do everything we can to keep our country and our communities secure.

Allowing FISA Section 702 to expire before the World Cup risks American lives.
Democrats need to come to their senses and support this vital national security tool.

Millions of Americans and soccer fans will travel across North America for the World Cup.
To ensure the event’s safety, Democrats should join Republicans and support one of our most effective tools for disrupting threats.

FISA plays a critical component in keeping our country safe and secure. With the World Cup and America250 celebrations underway, now is not the time to put our national security at risk.

Thanks to the Working Families @TaxCuts, 97 percent of taxpayers got a tax cut this year, collectively saving $82 billion on their tax bills.
Almost every one of the 97 percent of American taxpayers who saw a tax cut this year earned less than $200,000.

This is an absolutely irresponsible position for the Democrats to take, one that puts the American people at risk.
FISA Section 702 is a crucial national security tool and cannot lapse.

Last month, the U.S. economy added a robust 172,000 jobs, including 7,000 in manufacturing—fueling a blue-collar boom. The Working Families @TaxCuts and our pro-growth policies are delivering for hardworking Americans. foxbusiness.com/economy/us-j…

Democrats want to defund the intelligence-gathering capability that has been responsible for 90% of synthetic drug disruptions enabled by the CIA and has prevented terrorist attacks.
FISA Section 702 is a tool for national security, and it needs to be reauthorized.

The data is in: The Working Families @TaxCuts’ new tax relief disproportionately benefitted those making under $100,000 - just as Republicans promised.

Senate Democrats have decided yet again to play political games with our national security. FISA Section 702 expires at midnight on Friday.
They are risking American lives if this program goes dark. It’s that straightforward.
