We got some quotes from @wyden.senate.gov about his wild report yesterday about banks withholding suspicious activity reports about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking empire because they wanted to keep the lucrative relationship. Crazy conduct and Wyden has some good solutions for it.

Sen. Wyden Report: Banks Systematically Ignored Jeffrey Epstein’s Crimes - The American Prospect

The report shows how employees at Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and JPMorgan helped to hide Epstein’s activities because he was a load-bearing part of their ‘wall of cash.’

It's important to note the FBI's own public service announcement, published late Thursday evening, prominently notes "at least seven states" have reported since last weekend attempts to compromise water systems (Rockwell PLCs) "and some of that activity degraded water operations"

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.

this is psychotic.

Sen. Wyden introduces bill to curb Trump's tariff powers

Jay Clayton testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that SDNY followed proper procedures when it subpoenaed information about NY Times reporters. Today, SDNY withdrew the subpoenas after admitting to massive errors with their process, misrepresentations and failure to follow the procedures.

Inner City Press@innercitypress.bsky.social · 2w ago

3:11 pm Buckley: The Government is prepared unilaterally to withdraw the subpoenas at this time. If under Gonzalez we find it appropriate to seek new subpoenas, we'll come to the court. Judge: Moving forward, we would have the issues that have plagued it so far

This is an utter disaster for SDNY. the head of this office is supposed to lead our entire intelligence operation??

OK - now hearing on SDNY's subpoenas for reporting about the non-use of the Qatar-gifted jet as Air Force One coming back from Turkey - hearing before Judge Subramanian, who also has Live Nations (and Inner City Press' FOIA case www.courtlistener.com/docket/73400... ) - will live skeet, thread below

Sen. Wyden: I was just home for town hall meetings in rural Oregon, where Trump got over 70% of the vote, and the farmers told me they're barely hanging on to family farms. Small businesses are closing after tariffs made their businesses impossible. The Trump tariffs cost the average family $1,700

smoot-hawley tariff act mention, drink

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., on Wednesday introduced a bill that would rein in President Donald Trump’s broad tariff powers by eliminating some of his statutory tools to set import duties and giving Congress a greater say over the ones that remain. Full details: cnb.cx/4ffMXHD

Wyden cites subpoenas against NYT reporters as a reason for his vote against Jay Clayton to oversee U.S. intelligence agencies, saying there are “credible allegations that he provided false testimony … about intimidation subpoenas sent about New York Times reporting.”

The only election interference happening in this country is coming straight from the White House, and no amount of pathetic late night rambling from a failing, fading president will change anyone’s mind

Pressed by Wyden on his past comments that there's "one group who is using mail voting dishonestly," Clayton plays dumb: "I would like to see where you're pulling those quotes from. I'd like to see the whole passage."
