From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Salland on today's episode. We're going to be talking about FISA reauthorization. Congress just temporarily reauthorized FISA in Section 702. We're going to break down exactly

what happened. Share some views from the left and the right, and then you'll get my take.

Before you do, though, I do want to give a quick shout out to Aidan Gorman, our associate

producer on the YouTube channel who published a new video that went up this morning on air

channel that is very much worth your time. Maritime issues have been a constant in the news this year,

we tend to focus on the issues that involve American vessels or the U.S. military, but Aden wanted to dig into a story about what could be the largest fleet in the open ocean, Chinese fishing vessels.

Aidan goes deep on the issue talking to experts and surfacing the context in the latest video on the Tangle YouTube channel.

You can check it out with a link in today's episode description or just look up Tangle News on YouTube and find it there.

With that, I'm going to hand it over to John for today's main topic, and I'll be back

for my take.

In recent months, Chavez-Dremmer was accused of misusing federal funds for personal expenses and having an affair with a member of her security team,

prompting an inspector general probe. Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling will serve

as acting secretary until a replacement is confirmed.

Number two, President Donald Trump set an informal deadline of Wednesday evening for U.S.

and Iranian negotiators to reach a peace deal, saying it is

highly unlikely he would support extending the current ceasefire if no deal is reached by then.

Number three, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Cash Patel filed a $250 million lawsuit

against the Atlantic, alleging the magazine defamed him in a report

claiming the director has engaged in excessive drinking and erratic behavior.

Number four, the Supreme Court agreed to take up a case challenging Colorado's restrictions
