Emboldened Senate Democrats block even bipartisan bills in hardball approach to counter Trump
Senate Democrats are blocking bipartisan bills, including a key surveillance law, as a hardball strategy to counter President Donald Trump's policies and personnel choices. They allowed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to lapse, citing leverage against Trump, while Republicans argue the move threatens national security ahead of major events.
