Ron Wyden

The President's personal lawyer and his former campaign chairman are now confessed or convicted felons.

These big fires, they do not know any kind of boundaries.

I hope sometime soon to get home again to talk to the communities that have been getting clobbered.

I think folks at Crooked River understand how serious this is as it relates to fire.

It seems to me it is clear that this is going to take some work before we get this out of Committee.

As I indicated, we don't take a back seat to anybody in terms of reducing fire risk.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I will be brief. I know colleagues have been waiting as well.

A recent investigation by Senator Wyden revealed that wireless carriers were providing customer location to private companies without verifying that users had consented to this disclosure of private information.

That doesn't make any sense.

Before my colleague leaves the floor, I want to thank her for her thoughtful remarks in recognizing that as we talk about the future of Medicare and Medicaid, what we see is a constant need to update these terrific programs for the times…

I was not the decision maker with respect to the IRS's recent decision to exempt dark money groups from disclosing donor information.
