Breaking news on the FISA warrants...Trump
House passes FISA reauthorization despite Trump tweet criticizing the program
House passes legislation to renew key NSA surveillance program after Trumps contradictory tweets

CNN)The House of Representatives passed legislation reauthorizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is a key tool of the US intelligence community, despite President Donald Trump's tweeted criticism of the government's surveillance program.
The vote was 256-164. It now goes to the Senate for consideration.
House Republican leaders and top administration officials believed early Thursday morning that they were in good shape to pass the plan, even though it faced opposition from the right and the left and is always a heavy legislative lift.
And then Trump tweeted.
The President's tweet at 7:33 a.m. ET that questioned the already contentious program came at the worst time for GOP leaders who spent recent weeks rounding up the votes and combating demands for changes from conservatives and libertarian elements of the conference. The White House and law enforcement agencies have also been working the Hill and securing support from both sides of the aisle.
Why are all of these Republicans retiring or not seeking re-election?
What are they afraid of? It's weird to me cause if your 'party' is in power why leave?
from the book...
You need a son of a bitch as your chief of staff. And you need a son of a bitch who knows Washington, Ailes told Trump not long after the election. Youll want to be your own son of a bitch, but you dont know Washington. Ailes had a suggestion: Speaker Boehner. (John Boehner had been the Speaker of the House until he was forced out in a Tea Party putsch in 2011.)
Whos that? asked Trump.

CDC to hold briefing on preparations for nuclear war

The CDCs got some handy tips on what to do in the case of a nuclear blast.
The Centers for Disease Control is holding a briefing on Jan. 16 to share what public health programs have done to prepare for the catastrophe.
While a nuclear detonation is unlikely, it would have devastating results and there would be limited time to take critical protection steps, according to the CDC website.
Despite the fear surrounding such an event, planning and preparation can lessen deaths and illness. For instance, most people dont realize that sheltering in place for at least 24 hours is crucial to saving lives and reducing exposure to radiation, the CDC said.
Among the presenters for the CDCs monthly webcast next week are radiation experts, emergency response officials, and Deputy Director and Chief Medical Officer Dan Sosin.
Fears of a nuclear war have intensified as President Trump continues to trade barbs with North Koreas leader Kim Jong Un.
After Kim declared he could launch a nuclear warhead with the help of a button on his desk, Trump responded on Tuesday by tweeting, I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
While officials stress an attack remains unlikely, Hawaiis emergency management authorities have released guidelines on what to do, while a monthly statewide siren test was resurrected on Dec. 1.
