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.

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...

Oregon's snowpack is meager so far, and fears are growing that this summer's wildfire conditions will be dire. With about half of the state's land managed by the federal government, Sen. Ron Wyden is pushing the Trump administration to provide some answers on its plans to do to prepare.
Every Republican that stands in the way of my bill is complicit in the Trump administration's coverup for Epstein. I have no intention to go away. I'm going to keep at it until we have justice.
-More information about Epstein’s patterns: how he controlled women and girls by controlling their accounts
-How Epstein’s henchmen, including those who still control his estate, assisted in his crimes.
Here's what's buried in those files that Republicans don't want you to see:
-Who funded and enabled Epstein.
-Where Epstein’s payments went.
-Any connections between Epstein and organized crime.
I've been trying to get the Treasury's hidden Epstein files turned over since 2023. Last night I tried again to get them disclosed and Republicans blocked my bill to do so.
Today around 5 PM ET I'll be forcing a Senate vote on my bill to force Scott Bessent to hand over the Treasury Epstein files. Tune in here:
Donald Trump is unilaterally dragging us into another costly and deadly war in the Middle East that the American people don't want. Trump and Hegseth are putting American lives on the line to make themselves feel powerful, while our military families pay the real price.

Senate Democrats, including Oregon's Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday demanding the administration refund businesses that paid tariffs to import goods into the United States. buff.ly/exsITfc
This document is proof that it’s essential to keep following the money. I’m convinced there’s a mess of financial crimes running throughout the Epstein story, and a lot of other people who were directly involved are still walking free. That’s unacceptable.
This investigation was up and running from 2010 until at least 2015. We need to know the results. Did it result in any charges being brought against the targets? Why did it end, and when? Did the first Trump administration squash it?
The document is a 69-page memorandum written by a highly specialized DOJ task force charged with busting transnational organized crime. It’s way too heavily redacted. First off, I want the complete, unredacted memo.
