While serving in Congress, Gabbard co-sponsored legislation alongside Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., that sought to reform FISA and revoke the Patriot Act. She has since been all but forced to change her position on FISA, seemingly to gain support from some Republican senators.
Gabbard was asked about her evolving position on the law by the committeeās ranking member, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va.
President Trumpās pick to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has never been shy about sharing her criticisms of Americaās surveillance state.

I think that we should have a new category of āConspiracy Theoristsā.
I donāt actually form many theories, but I am interested in learning the truth and picking it out amongst the background of bullshit, propaganda, and intentional misdirection.
Iām not a theorist.
If anything maybe Iām a conspiracy observer, or conspiracy evaluator.
But Iām not always convinced everything is a conspiracy either (though it often is).
How about āInformation evaluationistā?
"How do you know diversity caused this?"
"Because I have common sense"
My Norwegian aunt kept giving me sarcastic congratulations for Trump, Vance and Musk.
She brought up the "abortion ban", but got pretty shocked when I told her that my home state of Oregon allows 39 week gestation abortions, no need to document health risk.
I explained to her that it is up to the states, some people want a federal ban on abortions, but they are unlikely to succeed.
Norway has 3 months as a time limit for choosing to have abortion, more conservative than most blue states.
It is disgusting.
