The Wyden Siren: Senator’s Cryptic CIA Letter Follows A Pattern That’s Never Been Wrong
If you've been paying attention to surveillance and civil liberties issues over the past fifteen years, you've likely learned to recognize a particular pattern. Senator Ron Wyden will occasionally send a public letter that essentially says "hey, I can't tell you what's happening because it's classified, but something really bad is going on and you should all be paying attention."

"ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history, we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police."

JUST IN: Before announcing he’d step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett said trade can be weaponized as an “act of war.” Let that sink in—one of the most trusted voices in American business just called out Trump’s tariffs what they really are: economic warfare.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Pete Hegseth just said he will examine the promotion of “fat” people to leadership positions in the military and seek to stop them. There's a very fat orange man who's Commander in Chief. Can we start with him?

Trump lashes out at Fox News, calling them ‘Trump Hating' with their 'Fake Pollsters’ after survey reveals record-low job performance approval ratings of 44%, in the first 100 days in office. This is compared to Biden's 54% and Obama's 62%. Trump calls this 'Fake news' in his online temper tantrum.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

A trade deficit doesn’t mean the U.S. is losing money. It simply means foreigners are sending the U.S. more goods than the U.S. is sending them. Americans get cheap goods, and sell foreigners financial assets, like bonds and tech company stocks. An economist explains: buff.ly/ydSPvIL

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.

Over 2yrs, the Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel only tested 9 rape kits. NINE. Then he rushed to clear the backlog just before he was up for reelection. Brad Schimel is comfortable delaying justice for victims of sexual assault. That should have been the end of his career.

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

For those not on the hellsite… The official Department of Defense Rapid Response government account posted a clip of Hegseth attacking the journalist casting doubt on the authenticity of the Atlantic story only to get community noted that the White House confirmed the authenticity of the reporting💀
Tweet from the official government account of the Department of Defense Rapid Response showing a clip of Pete Hegseth trying to cast doubt on the authenticity of The Atlantic story saying: 

.@SecDef response to the @TheAtlantic article....

"You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited "so-called journalist"

Only to get community noted with a note that said: 

“The White House has confirmed the authenticity of the Atlantic's reporting” with a link showing so

Zelenskyy calls for the creation of a #EuropeanArmy: “We must build the armed forces of Europe, so that Europe’s future depends only on Europeans,” the creation of a unified European force outside of NATO comes after the US elected a Russian asset making it no longer reliable or to be counted on.
