“Donald Trump is tightening his stranglehold on the congressional GOP’s policy agenda as he reshapes Republican lawmakers’ party orthodoxy on national security and social issues,” Politico reports.
“Trump’s sway was on full display Wednesday as the House tried to take up a warrantless government surveillance bill that was intended to unite the party. Then, hours after the former president pushed to ‘kill’ the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reauthorization, 19 House Republicans did just that.”
