I’m all in to support Vice President Harris to build on that impressive record and defeat Donald Trump – a convicted felon who wants to yank America backward with his checkered and erratic past of right-wing extremism on women’s health care, dirty energy and more. Onward.

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:

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.

The issue with Arizona reverting to an 1864 law on abortion isn't that it's old but that it is a product of an era with very different views of morality and personhood.

Don't believe me? Consider some of the other laws created alongside that one.
Analysis | Here are some other laws Arizona had on the books in 1864
The Arizona Supreme Court’s decision to let a circa-1864 law barring abortion go into effect renders it useful to get a sense for the mores at play in the then-territory.

Thank you Ron Wyden for saying what needs to be said. It's “Utterly Ridiculous” to Renew Warrantless FISA Surveillance Without Congressional Approval.

The results of my investigation are shocking. If data brokers can help extremists target misinformation to patients at Planned Parenthood, right-wing prosecutors in red states could use that same information to put women in jail. Protecting Americans' private health data has never been more urgent.

The scale of the bombing campaign, internally called Operation Menu, was kept secret from the American public for many decades, though leaked and declassified records have revealed that Kissinger personally “approved each of the 3,875 Cambodia bombing raids.”

Taxing billionaires is a good start.

We need a better distribution of wealth.
1,000 millionaires is better than 1 billionaire.
We all know billionaires don’t pay their taxes. But you know what’s worse? It’s perfectly legal for them not to.

I just introduced my Billionaires Income Tax bill to close loopholes in the tax code that let ultra-wealthy Americans LEGALLY avoid paying their fair share.

My staff on the Senate Finance Committee has uncovered new, damning information about Clarence Thomas' loan from his friend Anthony Welters to purchase a luxury RV.

Turns out, he never repaid a significant portion of the loan and then failed to disclose it on his ethics filings.

The justice failed to repay much, perhaps all, of the $267,230 loan. His benefactor wiped the slate clean, with ethical and potential tax consequences.
