In their wildest fantasies about Hunter Biden, Republicans didn't come up with anything half as corrupt as what Kushner is doing in front of our eyes every day. He's handling US foreign policy at the exact same time that he's taking billions from the Saudi dictator.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
The government can legally scoop up and read Americans' emails and texts, track everywhere they go, and feed huge amounts of data into AI without court oversight. Next month, Congress will have a chance to rein it all in. I'm leading a bipartisan bill to restore real privacy.
The USPS has quietly been making changes that will have a big impact for people who mail their tax returns and ballots in this consequential election year. I've got questions about how these changes will hurt vote-by-mail states like Oregon this November.

Wide-scale changes to when the U.S. Postal Service collects mail and postmarks envelopes could jeopardize timely tax returns and the ability for voters in Oregon and other states to have their ballots counted, Oregon’s senior U.S. senator warned Thursday. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/wyden...
I've long been sounding the alarm on Section 702 of FISA, and secret, legal loopholes the government uses to spy on Americans. The program is up for reauthorization in April and I'll be fighting like hell to make sure the current program doesn’t get rubber stamped.
Sen. Ron Wyden says there's secret classified info in 702 surveillance program about Americans' privacy
“The American people are going to be stunned that it took so long and that Congress has been debating this authority with insufficient information"

As the U.S. gets dragged into yet another endless war in the Middle East by Donald Trump, at a bare minimum the American people deserve someone heading up the NSA who won’t have to learn on the job while defending our country against cyber attacks.
He also has no experience in national cyber matters. The country needs someone who is prepared on day one to protect this country from cyber adversaries like Iran, China and Russia.
Donald Trump is weaponizing agencies like ICE to surveil and target American citizens. The Senate has no business putting someone in charge of the NSA who won’t commit to protecting Americans’ constitutional rights.
During his confirmation hearing, I pressed Rudd on the NSA's sprawling surveillance powers and whether he would spy on Americans. During that questioning, he showed no understanding of the Fourth Amendment and the basic constitutional right to privacy of every American.
This week the Senate is going to vote on Joshua Rudd to be Director of the NSA. He's a dangerous nominee to lead an agency with a history of abusing domestic surveillance capabilities. Here's why:

“See you at Nuremberg 2.0,” Sen. Ron Wyden posted on BlueSky, referencing the Nuremberg Trials, where Nazi leaders were prosecuted in the years after World War II.

With every new development in this story I am even more gobsmacked that Epstein and his co-conspirators escaped accountability over and over and over again. There's more to come from my investigation. Stay tuned.

If these prosecutors aren't busy how about they go after some pedophiles
BREAKING NYT:
The Justice Department, in the wake of Trump calls to criminally investigate President Biden, scrutinized whether Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents — but couldn't move forward with making a case.

Senator Ron Wyden and Rep. Shontel Brown are calling for an investigation into the vulnerability of modern computers to what the NSA calls TEMPEST: spy techniques that pick up devices' accidental electromagnetic/radio/acoustic emissions to learn their secrets. www.wired.com/story/how-vu...
