This is "among the most corrupt acts in American political history...a shakedown of the American people by a crook president and his crook lawyers,” says Sen. Ron @wyden.senate.gov. "Trump is a parasite on the American republic.” Why is Wyden this outraged? Click below. I will explain everything.

Suing his own IRS? Creating a $1.8 billion slush fund? What the hell is Trump trying to pull?

Whatever it is, it's staggeringly corrupt, and possibly very dangerous.

From @wyden.senate.gov, who is not a fan of this idea:

“This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history. This lawsuit has never been anything more than a shakedown of the American people by a crook president and his crook lawyers. It’s no more valid than if he had sued the White House kitchen for serving him an undercooked steak. Between this and the ballroom and a thousand other acts of corruption, Trump is a parasite on the American republic.”

Chris Hayes calls it the "Sistine Chapel of Trump corruption." According to ABC News, Trump wants to drop his IRS lawsuit in exchange for a $1.7 billion fund for victims of government “weaponization.”

This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.

They’ll argue about budgets while women miss cancer screenings. They’ll call it policy while clinics close in the places that need them most. This isn’t abstract. Ron Wyden just made that real on the Senate floor.

Congress Passes Another Short-Term Extension of Expiring Surveillance Law

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 30(source)

Big update: I secured a commitment that the FISA court opinion revealing abuses of Americans' rights will be DECLASSIFIED before Congress votes on reauthorization. The more Americans know about these abuses, the more they’ll demand real reforms.

This is a big win. Congress is waking up to the insanity of letting the government spy on Americans without a warrant. The only path forward on FISA is reform.

Teen suicide rates are down 11% since I helped create the national teen suicide hotline. Republicans are actively trying to defund it so they can pay for Trump's war in the Middle East. They don't care if kids die as a result as long as they get their oil.

Nearly 4,400 fewer U.S. teens and young adults died by suicide than projected in the first two-and-a-half years of the 988 mental health crisis hotline, a sign the program is working even as it faces long-term funding challenges. https://to.pbs.org/4cFt4ao

Any member of Congress that votes for a clean FISA reauthorization is voting to hand Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Donald Trump the power to spy on Americans without a warrant on a silver platter.

House leaders are selling a new FISA deal as reform. A careful read shows the "Fourth Amendment" section bars conduct that's already illegal, the new oversight office is a fraction of what Patel just shuttered, and the FBI can still search Americans' comms without a warrant.

The Latest Push to Extend Key US Spy Powers Is Still a Mess

A US surveillance program that lets the FBI view Americans' communications without a warrant is up for renewal. A new bill aims to address mounting lawmaker concerns—with smoke and mirrors.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

I’ll continue fighting like hell to sound the alarm and throw up roadblocks. But if the thought of the Trump administration having these powers scares you, now’s the time to make your voice heard.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

The deadline to renew the law is coming up next week. Trump needs both Republicans AND Democrats to vote to reauthorize this law. Anyone with a pulse ought to see that in no world should Trump and Kash Patel have these powers.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

But rubber-stamping these powers for Donald Trump poses a unique and chilling threat to Americans’ most basic constitutional rights.
