Justice has spoken in the courtroom today, but that won't change the fact that one of our country's two largest political parties is backing a convicted felon as its nominee in a presidential election. Democracy is on the ballot this November.

Big week in the Wyden office for oversight. Today I'm expanding my Big Pharmra tax investigation with an inquiry into Pfizer. The U.S. is by far Pfizer's largest market, but it regularly books all taxable income offshore to avoid paying what it owes. More here:

Big news this Monday morning: Automakers are swearing they can’t find any forced labor in their supply chains. Somehow, my Senate Finance oversight staff uncovered what multi-billion-dollar companies apparently could not: that BMW and Jaguar failed to remove forced labor from their supply chains.

I have been engaging with KOSA's sponsors, the Commerce Committee and leadership to make these final improvements before advancing the bill.

The bill should clarify that the FTC can't sue for mere content recommendations, and that privacy-preserving features like auto-delete and end-to-end encryption aren't unreasonable or harmful designs. It's possible to protect children from harmful platform design without sacrificing user privacy.

Some thoughts on KOSA... Before I can support KOSA, the bill must not unnecessarily encourage services to censor discussion of sensitive topics like reproductive health or LGBTQ issues, or to stop offering privacy-protective features.

The potential ramifications of this in post-Roe America can't be overstated. This means law enforcement in a red state where abortion is illegal could get access to a woman's location data and weaponize it against her if she sought out-of-state abortion care.

Fun fact, back in 2018 I led the investigation that exposed this practice by mobile carriers and led to massive fines against them. I’ll continue to watchdog it, but it’s another reason why Congress needs to get it together and pass comprehensive privacy legislation.

Already on it. In fact, just last week I released the findings of my investigation into how automakers handle information requests from law enforcement. I'm calling on the FTC to investigate and take *real* action to protect drivers' privacy.

As the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I can say with confidence that this bill is the biggest expansion of the government's warrantless surveillance power since the PATRIOT Act. I encourage everyone to call your Senators and urge them to vote NO on expanding FISA.

After a historic passage in the House, it’s time for the Senate to pass the Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act and close the databroker loophole once and for all.

Can confirm. This is a huge and necessary win for Americans' privacy, particularly after the Supreme Court gutted privacy protections under Roe. Now it's time for the Senate to do its job and follow suit.

Thanks for asking. Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 before April 19 and tell them to vote NO on expanding warrantless government surveillance under FISA.

An update: Just minutes ago the Senate voted to bring the expanded FISA bill to the floor for consideration. Full Senate vote on this bill to expand the government's warrantless surveillance power is coming in the next day or two. I'll be working down to the wire to stop it.

Congress wants to make it easier for the government to spy on you without a warrant. Scared? Me too. Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 before April 19 and tell them to vote NO on expanding warrantless government surveillance under FISA.

Some news: After last week's reports that convicted felon Paul Manafort may rejoin Donald Trump's campaign, I'm asking the DNI to declassify details about Manafort's connections to Russian operatives from a Senate Intel report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump.

DOT Secretary Pete and the Biden Administration deserve credit for working alongside me to launch a new initiative to renew the privacy practices of major U.S. airlines. Traveling on a major airline is costly enough without having to sacrifice your personal privacy.

I'm well aware of how China and other foreign governments can purchase huge amounts of our private data from data brokers. That's why I have a bill that would take a more effective approach by regulating and preventing the export of Americans' data to high-risk foreign countries.

Regarding the TikTok bill: I'm still reviewing it. I have serious concerns about any app that gives the Chinese government access to Americans' private data. But I'll also say this: history teaches us that when lawmakers rush to legislate on tech and social media, mistakes get made.
