Obligatory:

Trump effectively ended the Patriot Act this year.

On March 10, 2020, Jerry Nadler proposed a bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and it was then approved the majority of US House of Representatives after 152 Democrats joined the GOP in supporting the extension.[14] The surveillance powers of the Patriot Act needed renewal by March 15, 2020,[12] and after it expired, the U.S. Senate approved an amended version of the bill.[13] After President Donald Trump threatened to veto the bill, the House of Representatives issued an indefinite postponement of the vote to pass the Senate version of the bill; as of June 2020, the Patriot Act remains expired.[259]

I remember back in 2015, listening to a history podcast (can't remember which one), and the guy was wondering what would happen when the patriot act was reversed and used to reveal the private lives of powerful people instead.

Now we know. IT UNLEASHES THE MOFUCKIN KRAKEN.
