HPSCI and SSCI leadership overcame @DevinNunes' objections by stripping out intelligence whistleblowing reforms, passed through HPSCI and bipartisanly through SSCI. I'm going to write about the reforms with specificity, had been waiting to see the final bill, but I'm not happy.
Whistleblowers are our government's eyes and ears on the ground. During a global pandemic, their voices are critical to oversight. A lack of test kits? Ventilators? Endangering federal employees or the public? Each whistleblower has a story to tell and the right to be heard. 1/5
