DOJ is spying on lawmakers who are reading through the Epstein files. If they can do that to members of Congress, imagine what they are doing to you. This is Trump’s surveillance state.
Visitors to our country should not face a digital shakedown. @wyden.senate.gov and I are calling on CBP to reverse its invasive proposal to collect five years of social media history from travelers from trusted partner nations.

Column by Geoffrey A. Fowler and Kevin Schaul
La administración de Trump está atacando sistemáticamente a niños no acompañados para expulsarlos, deteniéndolos durante largos periodos en condiciones inhumanas y desmantelando protecciones. Esto es inadmisible. Los niños deben estar con sus familias–no tras las rejas. Pongamos fin a este terror.
The Trump administration is systematically targeting unaccompanied children for removal, detaining kids for long periods in inhumane conditions, and dismantling child-friendly protections. This is vile and unconscionable. Kids belong with their families—not living behind bars. End this terror.
Trump’s SBA is ratcheting up its discriminatory attacks on immigrants. The result? Local economies and small businesses are suffering. The Small Business Administration must rescind its draconian citizenship rule and give entrepreneurs a fair shot at the American dream.

I am calling on ICE to immediately release Seamus Culleton. It is appalling that Seamus has remained in detention for 5 months in dire conditions, away from his family. As a spouse of a U.S. citizen with strong Massachusetts ties, there is no justification for keeping him detained. Release him now.
Our nation’s largest public utility with its MAGA Republican appointed board is prioritizing dirty coal on behalf of our dirty President—driving up energy costs and polluting air and water for the 10 million Americans who live in the Tennessee Valley. The TVA must change course.
Get ICE out. Lawless thugs are terrorizing entire communities, have murdered and injured innocent people with impunity, and are surveilling and targeting protestors. Not another dime for ICE. Defund. Abolish.
