During last week's Senate floor debate on RFK, 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 — again — 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 these months, when we witnessed the elected GOP's complete and catastrophic collapse of courage.
They'll write about these Senators' rubber-stamp confirmation of Trump's worst nominees.
They'll write about their dereliction of duty during an unprecedented attack on the role of Congress as a co-equal branch of government.
Jason, as Trump elevates 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 know better. You can see it in their faces. They look ashamed. They still vote 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 re-election 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
