Today’s Headlines: House Republicans, led by Matt Gaetz, sabotaged a procedural vote to start debate on the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, citing concerns over an exclusionary amendment that Trump claimed would protect Americans but others argued would dismantle the program. By blocking the debate, any chance to advocate for the amendment was effectively quashed. Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy hinted during an interview at Georgetown University that Gaetz's actions contributed to him losing the chance to become Speaker, referencing allegations of unethical behavior involving a 17-year-old. In other news, a shooting during a Ramadan event in West Philadelphia left three injured, including the 15-year-old suspect who was subsequently apprehended by police. Additionally, Donald Trump stated he wouldn't endorse a national abortion ban, while South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem faced backlash from Native American tribes for offensive comments, and the New York state director for RFK Jr’s campaign openly discussed diverting votes from Biden in favor of Trump. Sunday’s Women’s NCAA Basketball National Championship game became the most watched basketball game since 2019.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: The Hill: Group of Republicans blocks FISA bill with spy powers deadline looming Axios: McCarthy takes shot at Gaetz scandal when discussing his ouster CBS News: Shooting at Ramadan event in West Philadelphia leaves 3 injured, 5 in custody, police say The Hill: Trump says he wouldn’t sign a national abortion ban The Daily Beast: South Dakota Gov.
