This story doesn't mention it, but it was @wyden.senate.gov who uncovered the scheme where cellphone carriers shared customers' location data with shady data brokers, sheriffs, bounty hunters and more. Now carriers face MASSIVE fines. Original complaint here: www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
CHRIS WRIGHT: What happens when the wind blows right now? We turn down natural gas plants and we save 2 cents in reduced natural gas price. We pay a 4 cent subsidy and save 2 cents
WYDEN: What you are describing is fiction
That’s because Americans overwhelmingly want the warrantless spying to stop. When polled, 76% of Americans favor a warrant requirement for backdoor searches and 80% want to see the data broker loophole closed. 18/20 demandprogresseducationfund.org/new-polling-...
It is abundantly clear that if there were an orderly process that allowed members to vote on real reforms—such as requiring a warrant for backdoor searches and restricting the government’s purchase of Americans’ sensitive data from data brokers—these reforms would pass. 17/20
A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.
Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
WYDEN: Are you gonna recommend the US taxpayer pay Trump $10 billion?
BISIGNANO: I'm not rendering an opinion
WYDEN: Give me your opinion! You're ostensibly somebody who is supposed to be doing stuff
Seems fine for dems to ok this!
I see a red panda i click a heart
trump directly making life more expensive for everyone. The numbers are bad You don't even need fancy economists just look at gas prices bro
Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office.
Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.
vini oof
“Donald Trump illegally fired members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board — now the only board member left is a former Trump appointee,” Sen. Ron Wyden told Nextgov/FCW.
Wallace: What is happening to these criminal cases? Are they just dismissed and the criminals go back out into the community?
MacFarlane: In so many of these cases, they're not launching the prosecution. They're declining what federal agents are bringing them.
Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
Republicans across the country want you to forget that they spent the last year supporting Trump's tariffs that are causing prices to skyrocket and the economy to falter.

SCOOP: Senator probes DOJ's deal to end historic Iran sanctions case
Giving a pass to a record-breaking Iran sanctions-busting scheme during the war smacks of "rank incompetence" — or worse, Sen. Wyden told Scott Bessent. buff.ly/NAswRNO
booooooooo
A new bill from @wyden.senate.gov and @balint.house.gov would give real teeth to an important federal law meant to protect journalists from searches and raids.
We’re proud to endorse this update to the Privacy Protection Act.
In contrast, @wyden.senate.gov placed holds on two officers up for promotion due to their links to war crimes, and a third who appeared on a racist, antisemitic podcast

Congress may soon expand surveillance powers that allow the government to collect Americans’ data without a warrant.
Sen. Ron Wyden says Donald Trump is the last person who should get that power.
NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap.
Lawmakers who've done the math want answers.
My latest @wired.com:
I’m working on it
this war is going great
momentum builds for the government surveillance reform act
worth a watch!
Cannot say this enough
