Lawmakers Demand Details on NSA’s Sweeping Phone Surveillance Operations Nextgov.com May 10, 2019 Six Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday called on NSA to release a public report outlining the current state of the Call Detail Record program. Under the program, the agency gathers phone records on millions of people in the U.S. and around the world. Last year, NSA announced it started deleting records collected under the program prior to 2015 because of technical challenges with handling and storing the data. Since then, lawmakers said, officials have not issued any updates on the program. “A…

We talked politics mostly, a little about Facebook, a bit about our families. When the shadows grew long, I had to head out. I hugged his wife, Priscilla, and…

Meanwhile, land farther from view, like his, has been neglected. “We are literally off the grid,” he said. Makwetu’s father leased this land from the South African…
The White House revoked my press pass. It’s not just me — it’s curtailing access for all journalists. By Dana Milbank Washington Post May 9, 2019 For the past 21 years, I have had the high privilege of holding a White House press pass, a magical ticket that gives the bearer a front-row seat to history. I was in the White House the night Bill Clinton admitted his affair with Monica Lewinsky, and the day he was impeached. I was there on Sept. 11, 2001, and the fearful days thereafter, when we were trained to use escape hoods.…
