US lawmakers today approved an $886 billion defense policy bill that includes a four-month extension to Section 702, the controversial surveillance tool that allows American intelligence to potentially spy on its citizens and permanent residents.
It's a massive piece of legislation that will fund among other things pay raises for soldiers, and new ships, aircraft, and weapons. The act also authorizes additional support for Ukraine. President Biden is expected to sign it into law.
