The Public Record
Ron Wyden is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from Oregon, a position he has held since 1996. A member of the Democratic Party, Wyden has been a prominent advocate for civil liberties, healthcare reform, and technology policy. Throughout his tenure, he has focused on issues such as privacy rights, government surveillance, and access to healthcare, often emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in government actions.
Just so we are clear, there is authority to continue the protections for the American people already. We will have that debate. I am eager to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle. We have to recognize that the only path forward…
We’ll be damned if we let Donald Trump change the way our state runs its elections.
I have made a number of requests specifically for the information that my colleague has now described as something that is going to come out. I will believe it when I see it. What I do know is the Treasury Department has stonewalled us…
Takes a reasonable protection against government surveillance and wraps it in an unacceptable giveaway of your tax dollars to Republican senators
What my colleague seems to be stressing-- and it is something I share--is that there is an urgency here. In my State, we have a couple with premium hikes of 500 percent. They feel like they are getting hit by a healthcare wrecking ball…
Our country’s technology advantage is not worth giving away just so Trump can get a few headlines.
Giving China access to cutting edge AI chips in exchange for raw materials is a terrible deal for America’s national security.
My colleague has richly earned a few hours of sleep tonight, but I am going to make sure that here in the Senate and across the country, people understand that this is the beginning of further discussion, not the end. I want to thank my…
It seems to me America is the last bastion of liberty in the world. There is nowhere to flee to, no mighty republic that stands if American democracy fails. I want to commend my partner from Oregon for taking this exceptionally important…
Without stronger oversight and real accountability, these contractors are just going to get a jumbo windfall for creating systems that actually harm Americans trying to get health care.
They're essentially health care middlemen that are in the business of red tape, and they profit when Americans don't get health care.
I simply believe it is unfortunate when the Senate will pass privacy protections for ourselves but not for all Americans and that only shady data brokers, would-be murderers and stalkers, as well as foreign adversaries buying data on U.S…
My message to Donald Trump is this: we don't need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
I urge Oregonians to reject Trump's attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city.
Robert Kennedy has elevated conspiracy theorists, crackpots and grifters to make life-or-death decisions about the health care of the American people.
Every single day, there’s been an action that endangers the health and wellness of American families.
Be sure to thank Donald Trump, JD Vance and their stooges if your ID now gets stolen thanks to their stupidity.
Every day that goes by makes it clear that the Republican agenda is making Americans sicker and poorer.
Not only did Republicans give massive tax breaks to corporations and the ultra-wealthy, not only did they make the largest cut to American healthcare in history, but now it is clear Republicans have brought Social Security closer to…
Calling this a five-alarm fire is an understatement, and between Bessent’s comments and the harm DOGE has already done to the agency, it’s clear Trump was lying all along about protecting Social Security.
