The House of Representatives has just voted down a bill that would have extended the intelligence community’s warrantless surveillance powers by three weeks.
The measure, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, failed to even get a simple majority, with 198 voting in favor and 218 voting against.
quote:
“There’s really not a negotiation until the president backs away from Bill Pulte,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, told Punchbowl News. “And that is a near-unanimous belief in this building. That is not a Democratic thing.”

I'm glad they voted down FISA. But what's the deal with Pulte? I don't know much about him.

All this tells me is Trump made the right move by appointing Bill Pulte.

Sounds like a win to me.

Pulte looks like a win-win.

I'm glad they voted down FISA. But what's the deal with Pulte? I don't know much about him.
The scion of a homebuilding fortune built by his grandfather, he attended Northwestern University and graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism. He started a private equity firm that invests in home services-related business and ran a non-profit which worked with Detroit and surrounding cities to clear blighted lots.
Pulte and his wife Diana were quickly becoming Republican mega-donors. Less than two months prior, the Pultes made a $500,000 contribution to the Trump-aligned "Make America Great Again, Again!" super PAC.
By the end of the 2024 election cycle, the family had given roughly a million dollars to Republican candidates and party-aligned groups.
After Pulte helped boost Trump's presidential return, the president-elect named Pulte to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
The agency was created after the 2008 recession to bolster the health of U.S housing finance markets, ensuring the safety and accessibility of mortgage loans. In his perch as the agency's director, he's gained a reputation for making abrupt policy announcements on X and has drawn scrutiny from industry leaders and investors over his muddled promises about the future of the federally controlled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

So he won’t be signing on to letters saying hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Fantastic

Wrong. He is acting director. Trump has said he will not be the nominee.
ETA: He is also the supposed hatchet man to fire those needing firing.

Don’t know.
But the fact that he is, is a positive.

Trump could nominate the Cookie Monster and the usual suspects would be in here saying “I like the pick because the Dems hate it. They must be scared of what he’ll find”, and “I mean he fricks up cookies, let’s see how he does fricking up [whatever role Trump assigned him]”
