Senator Ron Wyden

“If this administration won’t follow this simple statutory directive, it is unclear why Congress or the American people should trust this administration to follow any of the other legal limits to Section 702," say @wyden.senate.gov & @schiff.senate.gov www.wired.com/story/the-us...

NEW: US lawmakers say the Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding a secret court opinion about the surveillance of Americans, even as it presses Congress to renew America’s most sweeping surveillance program.

Happy Global Encryption Day to all who value their privacy and security. I'll keep fighting to protect and push for adoption of strong encryption to keep us all safe.

Exclusive: Sen. Wyden is urging the Trump administration to close an encryption gap that could let foreign adversaries track visits to sensitive government websites, including the FBI’s tip portal and a veterans crisis line. www.nextgov.com/cybersecurit...

Mark Zuckerberg should understand that Republicans won’t always be in charge. If Democrats take the Senate, he will be forced to answer to Congress about his company’s abuse of tax credits to avoid paying its fair share while it builds AI data centers.

Vote Republican in November if you want more of this

Sen. Ron Wyden is seeking a privacy review report about the HIDTA license plate program.

The administration that continues to cover up for pedophiles simply cannot be trusted with the care of hundreds of unaccompanied children with no oversight and no transparency

68% of Medicare beneficiaries are *ineligible* for the $90 Trump payment dump. Those who won't get the payments include the most in need: Medicare Advantage enrollees, low-income older adults & people with disabilities. @wyden.senate.gov says, "amounting to one tank of Trump-inflated gas."

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Yesterday I tried to fast track my bill to ban data center development on public lands, like this one in Oregon. Republicans blocked it. In case there was any doubt, it’s clear Republicans are all in on Trump’s plan to hijack your public lands for data centers.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ron Wyden says the DOJ and FBI withheld a secret interview with a banker tied to Jeffrey Epstein from the files released to the public. And he says there may be more.

Sen Ron Wyden is accusing DOJ and the FBI of withholding a key record from the Epstein files, demanding that AG Todd Blanche and FBI Dir Kash Patel immediately turn over every FBI interview report tied to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Wyden reveals that his investigators

They aren’t sending their best

Truly no limit to how low this administration will go

Democrats are again insisting that Trump release the text of his deals with drug companies. @wyden.senate.gov: “Here we are, months later, with six written requests, legislation to compel release, and a Cabinet secretary’s commitment. And I have not seen a single page.”

Trump is doing deals with one of Putin’s closest allies just days after signing the Republican Russia sanctions bill into law, which created fake sanctions while simultaneously allowing Trump to do more unilateral tariffs and cut ties with our biggest trading partners.

Turns out the comms tech that the aviation sector relies on was never designed with security in mind. This is a massive national security threat at a time when Trump has already made flying more dangerous than ever. The FAA needs to implement new standards as soon as possible to protect passengers.

US aircraft communications with FAA 'incredibly insecure,' senator says reut.rs/4iGBcvX

Sen. Wyden presses Flock CEO over allegations of surveillance platform abuse

Whether it's the use of data to track patients traveling for reproductive care or its abuse by ICE officials to conduct searches without warrants, the improper use of Flock camera data is dangerous and creating an uproar.

Great to chat with @katiephang.bsky.social about my ongoing work to follow the money on Epstein’s financial transactions.

Literal uterus surveillance

$1.5 BILLION in suspicious financial transactions flowed through Jeffrey Epstein’s accounts. More than $170 million paid by Leon Black to Epstein. @wyden.senate.gov has followed the money & he joins me with details about the obstruction and stonewalling by Todd Blanche: youtu.be/pqeVX4i2HKM?...

Democratic Senators called out RFK Jr. for spending time & resources on his "vanity projects" instead of tackling more pressing public health crises. @apha.org @hassan.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @alsobrooks.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...

US lawmakers urge secretive British court to open up about Apple case

Agree. Every Democrat should reject this bill.

There is a lot of uncertainty right now & people trying to make voting harder. Watch the press conference I just held w/ Gov. Kotek, Senators Wyden & Merkley explaining how we're going to protect every eligible Oregonian’s right to vote: www.youtube.com/live/HhzJXUCZPP4?si=XfeAiJuTsKEqAvib

Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Pramila Jayapal are demanding an investigation into the Trump administration’s use of obscure legal powers to secretly collect records on journalists, nonprofits, and unions without judicial oversight. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Want to know the Republican “solution” for Social Security? Some sort of backdoor commission that rubber stamps benefit cuts– like increasing the retirement age– and avoids accountability from America’s voters. @wyden.senate.gov

Sen. Wyden’s inquiry found over $1.4 billion in suspicious Epstein-linked transfers passed through JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America. “My small team of investigators did what Trump's attorney general and Treasury secretary said was impossible.”

Wyden wants probe over report USDA official sought more firefighting aircraft to his ranch

Senator calls for criminal investigation of RFK Jr after Guardian report

More of this all the time. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Oregon's U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, Dems, demand USDA officials investigate Undersecretary of Agriculture for Natural Resources and Environment Michael Boren for allegedly diverting scarce firefighting resources to a 7-acre fire near his private ranch in Idaho: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/08/28/d...

There’s no bigger threat to your public lands and parks than Donald Trump

A Trump official diverted firefighting resources to a fire on his private ranch. He got 9 aircraft for the 7-acre fire while the 90,000 acre Grasshopper fire in Oregon got about the same. These guys kneecapped wildfire prevention and now they’re diverting what few resources remain for personal gain.

Proof we got RFK lying on the record during his confirmation hearing (a crime). RFK should be referred to the DOJ for criminal investigation, and when Democrats retake the Senate, he will be at the top of the list of Trump officials I will hold accountable for endangering American families.

Exclusive: RFK Jr lied in Senate confirmation hearings, newly revealed documents indicate. Stellar reporting by @bymichellersmith.com based on documents obtained by @theguardian.com and @apnews.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Senator calls for criminal investigation of RFK Jr after Guardian report www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sen @wyden.senate.gov is "pressing Republican colleagues, who currently control the Senate, to issue a criminal referral of Kennedy to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation" Now this is good.

Thanks to @wyden.senate.gov for getting these lies on the record. Evidence of lying, malfeasance, and corruption just keep piling up on Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party.
