See this:

This is yet more evidence that putting a quack like Bobby Kennedy in charge of public health was a grave error. The Trump Administration has been engaged for months in a campaign to destroy the CDC, America’s preeminent disease-fighting agency. The Administration’s extremism and incompetence are putting lives at risk.

During the Senate floor debate on RFK earlier this year, I argued:

"If the Senate weren’t gripped in this soon-to-be infamous period of total capitulation, I don’t think this nominee would have made it as far as a hearing."

Hours later, Senate Republicans totally capitulated and confirmed to lead American public health a man famous only for his name and his embrace of conspiracist pseudoscience.

Total capitulation.

Historians will fill books about this moment in history.

They’ll write about the destruction of America’s public health institutions — the firing of scientists, the silencing of experts, the gutting of the CDC.

They’ll write about their dereliction of duty during an unprecedented attack on the role of Congress as a co-equal branch of government.

As Trump elevated utterly unqualified zealots and loyalists to the nation's most powerful offices, Republican Senators suspend their judgement, march onto the Senate floor, and vote AYE.

Some knew better. You saw it in their faces. They looked ashamed. They still voted AYE.

That brings me to the 2026 election.

2026 is our only hope to recover Congressional power and reverse this descent toward one-man rule.

And here in Georgia I am the only Democratic U.S. Senator nationwide up for reelection in a state Trump won.

I am therefore MAGA’s #1 target for defeat.

There is no path back without defending this seat — the seat that secured the Democratic majority four years ago.

So I'm asking for your help. Not for me, for all of us.

Please consider contributing to my campaign straight away.

With gratitude,

Senator Jon Ossoff
