Mike Johnson unleashes on MAGA trio for not backing surveillance of non-Americans

• House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly confronted several Republican representatives, including Anna Paulina Luna, Lauren Boebert, and Tim Burchett, for not supporting the reauthorization of an international spying act.
• Rep. Anna Paulina Luna described the encounter as 'getting a spanking on the floor' from Johnson, who was visibly frustrated by their opposition.
• The representatives refused to vote for the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which permits warrantless surveillance of non-Americans outside the U.S. for foreign intelligence.
• Johnson emphasized the importance of Section 702 for national security, stating that a significant portion of the president's daily security briefing relies on intelligence gathered through it.
• The act is scheduled to expire on April 20, with critics advocating for amendments to include warrant requirements, while proponents argue for its extension unchanged.
