Welcome to the Daily Briefing. Here\u2019s what\u2019s breaking this morning:
Nicole Fallert and Jane Onyanga-Omara<\/em><\/strong> here. We have Friday’s news to know.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will expire on Friday after the House of Representatives couldn’t pass an extension<\/a>.
Why not?<\/strong> The vote was doomed from the start<\/a> over Democrats’ opposition to President\u00a0Donald Trump’s new acting spy chief.
Why does this matter?<\/strong> For nearly two decades, the statute has authorized U.S. spy agencies to collect the communications of foreigners \u2013 and, privacy hawks argue, sometimes Americans. Intelligence authorized by the provision makes up the bulk of the president’s daily security briefing, lawmakers say. Top lawmakers have been sounding the alarm about the lapse.
World Cup<\/span><\/strong>
The 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> began last night with the first of three opening ceremonies in Mexico City (and Shakira’s performance<\/a>). Tonight, USA brings the show with a star-studded line-up at SoFi Stadium before the USMNT takes the pitch<\/a>. Here’s how to watch Team USA kick off<\/a> their tournament run tonight.
Movies<\/span><\/strong>
Armed with a spectacular cast<\/a> for \u201cDisclosure Day,” Steven Spielberg takes an imaginative look at what it would look like if humanity actually found out it wasn\u2019t alone in the universe, and the efforts by some to keep that information hidden. The film in theaters on Friday is classic Spielbergian fare, given that it\u2019s a movie much more about us than intergalactic beings. USA TODAY Film Critic Brian Truitt gave it a \u2605\u2605\u2605\u00bd out of four stars<\/a>.
