The U.S. Congress Republican Party still failed to find a way forward on extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on Tuesday, as divisions between party hardliners and disagreements between the House and Senate have also stalled other legislative agendas. According to POLITICO, the House quickly recessed that morning because Speaker Johnson had not yet convinced the party's hardliners to compromise on the FISA issue, while controversial debates over pesticide provisions in the agricultural bill and budget resolutions related to immigration enforcement funding also persisted. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed frustration over the deadlock, stating he is regularly discussing FISA proposals with House leadership. The provision will expire this Thursday unless Congress takes action. Regarding the Department of Homeland Security, which remains partially shut down, Thune hinted that the White House might need to step in to break the deadlock in the House, emphasizing that the Senate has already "twice" completed the necessary work.
