Ossoff: American politics is coin-operated. Money goes in, favors come out, and that's why spectacular wealth buys an ever-greater share of power over our national affairs, while the mere citizen is treated with contempt.
Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern American history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money on both sides.
Ossoff: This entire thing is a disgrace… Both of my Trump puppet opponents in their debate last weekend enthusiastically endorsed this and said that they would support this $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan 6th footsoldiers and the President's cronies.
My two opponents: a congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and a coach who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.
Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.
Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.
Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional
Ossoff: They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach, who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.
It doesn't matter which one wins . They're both Trump puppets and we'll beat either one of them in November
Ossoff: What those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves, who rake in billions from foreign princes while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls.
"A wave is building, the kind that comes once a generation, when people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once and all together that enough is enough." – @ossoff
Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, who rake in billions from foreign prices while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is because the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to this president than the defeat itself."
Ossoff: "We see a faithless president self-dealing while he depicts as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation into reckless war, sends prices soaring, and plunders our healthcare to cut taxes for those who already have spectacular wealth."
Ossoff: You all probably saw over the last week that the President of the United States, who sued the U.S. government for $10 billion, then settled that lawsuit with himself to try and create a nearly $2 billion slush fund for the folks who sacked the United States Capitol and attacked those Capitol Police officers and tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power when Georgia ejected Donald Trump from the White House the first time…
You all also probably saw that as he continues his project of turning the White House into his royal palace, he's demanding vast sums of money – your money, the people's money – for his ballroom. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in a pattern of corruption and abuse unprecedented in the history of the Presidency, but you can rest assured that both of my opponents would be voting for this insurrectionist slush fund and would be voting for this crooked ballroom.
Ossoff: I am running in Georgia against two Trump lackeys who, you can rest assured as they race for the President's approval, would be voting for this crooked ballroom and this insurrectionist slush fund.
And in fact, every national political reporter in the country should be putting that question to these two candidates tonight. They want to be candidates for the U.S. Senate? Let's see them prove to the people of Georgia… because they're pro-war, they're pro-tariff, they're pro-cutting health care. Let's find out where they stand on the crooked ballroom and the insurrectionist slush fund.
Congratulations to @KeishaBottoms on a well-fought victory. While GOP candidates now face prolonged infighting, united Georgia Democrats enter the General Election with unprecedented momentum and determination.
Keisha’s powerful campaign mobilized voters statewide, and together we are building a massive and unstoppable winning coalition to deliver decisive victories statewide up and down the ballot in November.
Ossoff: A wave is building, but nothing is guaranteed. This is still the most competitive and crucial battleground state in the United States. And so I say again, the time for worry is over, and now it's time for work.
Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades.
Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Ossoff: Today’s small and self-serving politics has distanced us from the great national spirit that defeated fascism, that landed men on the moon, that passed civil rights laws.
And yet last week, while our President flailed in the strait, the American spacecraft Artemis, with four heroes on board, returned humanity to the far side of the moon, recalling the best of American genius and strength and achievement, and sending back images that remind us not to take for granted our precious, fragile planet.
The United States is still destined for greatness, but only united will we meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of our time: to guarantee great health care for every American, to unleash an affordable housing boom and save our family farms, to harness new technologies for the good of the many and not the few, to make America the world leader on human rights and return nations to the path of peaceful coexistence.
Ossoff: We were promised a Golden Age. Instead, the economy's lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs just since Trump launched his big illegal tariffs. Hiring’s at its lowest rate since 2020. Did y'all hear that? Hiring is at its lowest rate since 2020. Zero net private sector job creation for the past six months.
Here in Georgia, International Paper closed its plants in Savannah and Riceboro, more than 1,000 jobs gone. SK just laid off almost 1,000 workers at their EV battery plant over in Commerce because of this administration's war on renewable energy.
