Reuters and AP News highlight Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s role in securing a unanimous short-term extension to prevent surveillance programs from "going dark." While the Washington Examiner frames Thune’s move as a strategic pause for GOP negotiations, the far-right Next News Network criticizes the "quiet" extension for lacking a public debate. Most outlets agree that Thune is positioning the chamber for a difficult legislative battle over permanent reforms.
