Rand Paul , a Kentucky Republican, objected to its passage. “The people in New York and New Jersey have a lot of questions, and they’re not getting good enough answers,” said Schumer. “The utter confusion surrounding these drone sightings shows that the feds can’t respond all on their own.” Schumer has also called for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify the drones and their operators. The Senate bill would have also enhanced some federal agencies’ authority to act on drones, as well as started a pilot program to allow states and local authorities to disrupt, disable or seize a drone without prior consent of the operator. “This bill would ensure that law enforcement has the technology needed to quickly and clearly identify exactly what the reported sightings of drones across the country actually are,” said Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat who sponsored the bipartisan bill. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference or a public safety threat. But they can’t say with certainty who is responsible for the sudden swarms of drones over parts of New Jersey, New York and other eastern parts of the U.S. Some U.S. political leaders, including Trump, have called for much stronger action against the drones, including shooting them down. Paul, the Kentucky Republican who often advocates for limiting governmental powers, said that he was objecting because it is not clear there is a threat that warrants urgent action. He said the bill would “expand federal authority to intercept communications and disrupt drone activity — powers that raise serious concerns for Americans' privacy, civil liberties, and Fourth Amendment protections against unwarranted search and seizure.”

The 49ers have ruled out quarterback Brock Purdy for Sunday’s game against the Packers. It appeared to be trending that way when Purdy wasn’t on the field for the start of Friday’s practice. Purdy has a right shoulder injury that kept him from throwing the ball Wednesday and again Thursday, which was a surprise to the team. He was listed as limited the first two practice days before not practicing Friday. “I don’t want to say there’s long-term concern,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. “You know, got the MRI on Monday and thought he just needed some rest and really weren’t concerned about him not being good this week. But when he started up Thursday, surprised him, surprised us how it felt, so we had to shut him down. So, I really don’t know what to think of it. The MRI doesn’t look like that, but the way it responded this week is really up in the air for next week. We will have to see Monday.” Brandon Allen will start this week, with Joshua Dobbs as his backup. Allen has not started a game since 2021 and has played only 16 games with nine starts in his career. Purdy appeared to injury the shoulder when his hand hit the arm of Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as he released a pass early in the fourth quarter Sunday, though Shanahan said Purdy doesn’t know when he injured it. Purdy did not miss time with the injury in Sunday’s loss. “Just complaining about how tight it was throughout the game,” Shanahan said. “It sort of happened throughout the game. That’s why he was warming up a lot more than usual. He said he had a hard time keeping it loose. Then, after the game is when it really started to hurt, and Monday morning is why we did an MRI for it.” Purdy has thrown for 2,613 yards with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season. The 49ers also ruled out defensive end Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), giving them another concern as they face what feels like a must-win game at Green Bay. Cornerback Charvarius Ward (personal), punt returner Jacob Cowing (concussion), linebacker Tatum Bethune (knee) and defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin) also won’t play this week. Left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and center/guard Jon Feliciano (knee) are questionable. Williams did not practice this week.
