Legislative Calls to Action -- June 10, 2026

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) 

reauthorization due June 12, when a temporary 45-day patch runs out, remains a focus in Congress.  


Negotiators are close to a bipartisan deal that would reauthorize FISA Section 702 for three years, according to multiple sources involved in the talks.


This is a Senate-driven process, with Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) seeking to maximize Democratic support. There’s been close coordination with the House and the White House. Senate Republicans tried to take the first procedural step to reauthorize FISA but the vote failed 47-52. Concerns are being raised with Trump’s decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence who has no experience in an intelligence agency, the military,law enforcement or any national security position.

Aides in both parties expect the final product to pass with support from a majority of Senate Republicans and a minority of Democratic senators.


The negotiated bill is expected to include a key sweetener to attract votes from privacy hawks who have long called for reforms to Section 702: a provision that narrows the definition of an electronic communications service provider. An ECSP is the type of company that would be required to provide records to the government. (Punchbowl News)


Weaponization Fund

Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) will launch a discharge petition this week to prevent Trump from creating a weaponization fund. The bill the bipartisan pair are discharging would permanently amend the Federal Judgment Fund Act to prevent any opportunity for abuse, according to sources familiar with the proposal. This discharge petition should quickly gather enough signatures to force a vote on the House floor. Every Democrat will sign on, and a number of House Republicans said they find the idea of the fund illegal and objectionable. (Punchbowl News)


War Powers

House Concurrent Resolution 86: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran. Passed 215-208. All Indiana representatives voted nay except Reps Carson and Mrvan who voted yea. It was received in the Senate and was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (Congress.gov)


Ukraine Support Act

This bill addresses the war between Russia and Ukraine by (1) providing assistance to Ukraine and certain European countries, and (2) establishing penalties for Russia and certain foreign persons (individuals and entities). (GovTrack.us) Passed 226-195. All Indiana representatives voted nay except Reps Mrvan and Carson who voted yea.  (GovTrack.us) The bill has been received in the Senate. (Congress.gov)


The good news! Congress is (sort of) stepping up!

  • Failure in the Senate to pass FISA

  • Passage in the House of the Ukraine Support Act

  • Passage in the House of the War Powers Resolution

  • Scrapping of the $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund”
