A $10 million procurement reviewed by 404 Media indicates ICE is buying records related to immigrants’ tax identifiers. “It looks for all the world like Trump is trying to skirt the law and a court order to fuel his mass-deportation campaign,” Senator Ron Wyden said.
This is a big sleeper issue. Nitazenes are the next wave of the opioid crisis, and the Trump administration has been undermining and defunding the federal programs that study, prepare for and respond to emerging drug threats. I’ve been leading the charge on this to mobilize a federal response.
A drug up to 40 times more potent than fentanyl and 500 times stronger than heroin is increasingly being detected in the US. Bellingcat produced the most detailed account yet of how nitazenes are infiltrating US borders and destroying lives. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/06...
US troops are dead and gas prices are sky high. The Trump administration wants you to believe that Iran having nukes is a good thing to distract from Trump's colossal failure of a war

@hcrichardson.bsky.social "One of the few Democrats to raise the alarm was Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, then-chair of the Senate Finance Committee, who attempted to pierce Affinity’s veil of secrecy once it became clear that Trump would be the Republican nominee" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Gutting $1 trillion from Medicaid wasn’t enough to appease the greedy billionaires.
Now, Republicans are coming for our Social Security and Medicare.

It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. FISA 702 can’t be renewed without real reforms. Case in point: Trump’s latest nominee for director of national intelligence was peddling election conspiracies just a few days ago.
Republicans just blocked a five week FISA extension in order to cover up ongoing FISA abuses

Ron Wyden tells of ‘grave concerns’ over plan, first revealed by Guardian, to hold families at sprawling Louisiana facility
I'll be fighting like hell between now and June 12 to ensure Congress doesn't cave and renew Section 702 of FISA without real reforms. Security and liberty aren't mutually exclusive, and it seems like Congress is finally starting to understand that.
We have never seen a coalition like the one that stood up against the plan to rubber-stamp this spying authority. Elected officials from both sides of the aisle are waking up to the fact that NO president should have this power.
Bill Pulte's appointment to be Acting DNI was the final straw. Pulte has no business overseeing a warrantless spying program for Donald Trump, Democrats understand that. That said, anyone Trump nominates to this position will likely be a disastrous steward of these powers.
An update on where things stand on FISA:
Early Friday morning, we successfully defeated a bill in the Senate to rubber-stamp the Trump administration's authority to spy on Americans without a warrant. This is a big win on privacy.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), "..warned that Pulte could use Section 702 as a political weapon, abusing surveillance powers for purposes of blackmail, smear campaigns, or attacks on lawmakers, nonprofits, or activists."

Sen. Wyden: As of now, every American is subject to audit except for Trump and his family.
Reposted bySenator Ron Wyden
SEN. WYDEN: “Trump has set the new high water mark for public corruption… everybody in 🇺🇸 is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.”
Reposted bySenator Ron Wyden
“The most brazen abuse of power ever.”
SEN. WYDEN grills BESSENT on Trump giving himself and his family immunity to cheat on their taxes. A “scam” and an admission of guilt.
Reposted bySenator Ron Wyden
“Every American is subject to audit except Donald Trump and his family. I think that’s absurd.”
Senator @wyden.senate.gov confronts Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Trump’s corrupt IRS deal to give his family immunity from tax audits.
WATCH:
Bill Pulte appears to be unburdened by intelligence or any semblance of ethics. His appointment at ODNI is one more reason every single Democrat should vote against rubber stamping the Trump administration's FISA Section 702 spying powers.
I won't trust this until there's detail on paper about dropping it permanently. Don't forget the settlement also let Trump and his entire family off the hook for any tax crimes they've committed. That needs to go too.
