Not another dollar to Donald Trump to make our streets less safe. I voted no.

🚨 Senate passes bill to resolve shutdown clash, punting on DHS for two weeks 71-29. Now to the House—expected to vote Monday. This deal funds most of the government through Sept and gives DHS a new deadline of Friday, Feb. 13 as Democrats push to restrain ICE/CBP. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Here’s @wyden.senate.gov on this absurd, corrupt lawsuit and Trump’s phony sense of false victimhood:

“Donald Trump is a cheat and a grifter to his core, and for him to abuse his office in an attempt to steal $10 billion from the American taxpayer is a shameless, disgusting act of corruption. While Trump is weaponizing taxpayer privacy laws for his own benefit, his Treasury Department is flouting those exact same laws to send tens of thousands of individual tax records to his anti-immigrant henchmen at ICE. It is the height of hypocrisy for Trump to pretend he cares one bit about taxpayer privacy.”

First, Trump demanded that the Justice Department put $230 million in his pocket. Now he also wants $10 billion from the IRS. Among the questions: Will he try to approve a taxpayer-financed payoff to himself? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Rolex and Gold Given to Trump Before Swiss Deal Queried by Senator

US Senator Ron Wyden asked for a detailed account of Donald Trump’s acceptance of a Rolex table clock and one-kilogram gold bar from Swiss businessmen shortly before the president slashed tariffs he previously imposed on Switzerland.

Agreed

I’m working on it

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJan 27(source)

The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government needs a warrant to get phone location history from cell providers. But it's still legal for it to buy up the same data from shady data brokers that harvest your data from apps, etc. That's the legal loophole my legislation would close.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJan 27(source)

For YEARS I've been on the forefront of trying to pass real privacy reforms to stop an agency like Trump's ICE from weaponizing your private data. Now it's happened, but it's not too late to act. If you care about this as much as I do, please let your members of Congress know.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJan 27(source)

3. ICE is using government data from state DMVs and federal agencies and refuses to answer questions about how that data is used. I'm also leading that fight in the Senate to rein them in, and warned states that care about their residents to stop sharing DMV data with ICE.

Dem governors unwittingly share DMV data with ICE, lawmakers warn

40 congressional Democrats are urging blue-state leaders to block ICE access to a database containing residents’ driver license and registration information.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJan 27(source)

2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.

1. ICE is using Palantir apps to collect biometric data on protestors. I'm working closely with @markey.senate.gov to stop this.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

This video shows Donald Trump’s lawless federal agents again out of control. The Senate cannot vote to keep funding this. Every single agent complicit in these horrors should be put on trial at the state level for real accountability.

Quoting @wyden.senate.gov: "It makes a mockery of the idea that ICE is trying to make our country safer. Rather, agents are reportedly picking people to deport from our country the same way you'd choose a nearby coffee shop."

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

I always assume you start first with following the money, and Senator Ron Wyden is doing that.

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

Republicans cut funding for health care to pay for Trump's lawless militia. Giving more money to use 5-year-olds as bait and shoot unarmed mothers is unacceptable. I will not vote to give more money to ICE until there is accountability and an end to these abuses.

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

Thank you for coming!
