Daily Wire: House Conservatives Make Spending Demands To Rein In ‘Biden’s Radical Woke’ Government
House GOP hardliners are demanding spending cuts from leadership or they threaten to withhold their votes, potentially leading to a government shutdown. A group of 21 Republicans wrote to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy seeking concessions after a bipartisan deal on the U.S. debt that they believed didn't do enough to reduce spending. They demand that appropriations funding be achieved without reallocating rescissions and want spending to be reduced to pre-pandemic levels. They have drawn a line and will vote against any appropriations bills that exceed the agreed spending level.
The Federalist Papers: Matt Gaetz Spearheading Fight End Illegal Spying on Americans: Allow FISA to Expire
House Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, are calling for Congress to let the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) expire at the end of the year. They argue that FISA gives excessive power to the national security apparatus and infringes on the rights of U.S. citizens. Concerns have been raised over Section 702 of FISA, which allows the surveillance of non-U.S. citizens overseas but can also lead to warrantless searches on Americans. Despite bipartisan criticisms of FISA, Gaetz's resolution is currently backed only by GOP figures, but he hopes to find common ground with progressives to combat government overreach.
Fox News: Second Amendment group files lawsuit against ATF over ‘zero tolerance’ policy for closing gun stores
Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) over their "zero tolerance" policy for gun stores. The policy makes it easier to revoke federal licenses for gun stores. GOA believes this is another example of the administration using federal agencies against their political enemies. The lawsuit aims to support small businesses and demands that Congress defund the ATF.
Internal ATF documents reveal the "zero tolerance" guidelines for shutting down gun stores. The guidelines state that revocation of federal licenses is the assumed action for violations that greatly affect public safety. The ATF does not have to establish a history of prior violations to determine willfulness. The documents also show that losing a license would likely result in the closure of the gun store and the transfer of gun purchase records to the ATF.
