Successful reforms from last year’s reauthorization of FISA Section 702 may sell a clean extension in 2026, writes Preston Marquis. There's just one hurdle: Nobody knows whether President Trump even wants one of the intelligence community’s most powerful authorities renewed.

"What is obvious, however, is that the Democrats who both voted to initiate the shutdown and then caved in the face of no material change of circumstance were either wrong 41 days ago or are wrong now." @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org assesses what the government shutdown has accomplished.
