Good point from @wyden.senate.gov: Trump's corrupt BLS firing is now on congressional Republicans. Dems need to hang this around their necks mercilessly.

Feel like we moved on too quickly from the fact that the Trump administration openly announce it's trying to privatize Social Security

Top Dem calls on Trump’s IRS to investigate Epstein bank records: ‘Follow the money’ Ron Wyden’s sprawling bank probe demands Trump administration investigate financial transactions surrounding Epstein’s trafficking case

Epstein made $$$ billing himself as a tax wizard. Here's the catch: he wasn't an accountant or lawyer. His financial advice was ordinary at best. It looks like a cover story to hide his sex trafficking. My question: why didn't investigators follow the money?

The Trump administration is pulling investigators off of child exploitation and sex trafficking cases. Given Donald Trump's track record with Jeffrey Epstein, it shouldn't be a surprise that he's willing to let sex traffickers off the hook.

Democrats implore Trump to step up role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza Senate Democrats are imploring President Donald Trump's administration to step up its role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is getting worse by the day. I've joined my Senate colleagues in calling on the Trump administration for a massive expansion of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and to resume diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and end the war.

The Senate just passed my bill by UC to release this report to the public, to end this cover-up by CISA. Now the House needs to pass my bill so the public can see how shockingly insecure our phone system is. Then the government must hold phone companies accountable for failing cybersecurity 101.

Republicans aren’t even trying to defend their bill anymore. Just straight up lying and hoping people fall for it.

Wyden secures deal to shield Oregonians from out-of-state surveillance via traffic cams The agreement is aimed at protecting Oregonians' data from being misused by law enforcement agencies in other states, such as in cases with abortion and immigration.

I've successfully pressed Flock, a license plate surveillance company, to protect Oregonians from abusive queries of data by out-of-state law enforcement. This surveillance is a massive privacy problem, and I'll keep working to expand these same protections to every American.

"Epstein clearly had access to enormous financing to operate his sex trafficking network, and the details on how he got the cash to pay for it are sitting in a Treasury Department filing cabinet." https://trib.al/ZTn3IyO

My investigators also found that several ultra-wealthy Wall Street financiers, including Leon Black, paid Jeffrey Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars. There's a clear paper trail here between Epstein and these guys, and DOJ needs to follow the money to figure out why.

Trump's DOJ needs to demand more documents and more answers from banks that worked with Epstein. That includes investigating how Epstein used shady, sanctioned Russian banks to send hundreds of millions of payments likely linked to sex trafficking.

This from Wyden is striking:

"Epstein clearly had access to enormous financing to operate his sex trafficking network, and the details on how he got the cash to pay for it are sitting in a Treasury Department filing cabinet."

He lays out roadmap for DOJ to follow:

“I am convinced that DOJ ignored evidence found in the Treasury Department’s Epstein file [involving] mountains of cash Epstein received from prominent businessmen...to finance his criminal network,” Wyden says.

Wyden's investigators viewed these documents:
