Sen. Ossoff welcomes Senator-elect James Talarico.

Literally everyone involved in Georgia politics right now.

[Ellie Dougherty @elliemdougherty]

Mike Collins is finishing his campaign just like it started: plagued by scandal.

Tomorrow @ossoff will end his political career.

Ossoff: ​​I've delivered for Georgia farmers…

Right now, family farms in Georgia are getting crushed. A third of the world's fertilizer flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Diesel prices are at their all-time high in American history. Under Mike Collins and Donald Trump, it costs more than ever to buy a tractor for your farm or to plant an acre of cotton. We still haven't heard an explanation for the tariffs. I'd like for the congressman also to explain to the folks across Georgia how this disastrous war has been a success.

[Patricia Murphy @MurphyAJC]

At the start of his term, @ossoff told me he spent several hours each week cold-calling Georgians to see what he needed to know. Five years later, I cold called Georgians to see if they had heard from him. They had. “I was flabbergasted.” https://t.co/DwK2v1c96S

“I have heard concerns from my constituents that Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC) is not preparing units in the time necessary for an incoming family to be able to move into upon their permanent change of station (PCS),” Sen. Ossoff wrote. “Servicemembers and their families give the greatest sacrifice for our Nation; we must ensure that we provide for them at home.” https://t.co/atvbb7CuDL

A great day in the office, thank you @JavaJoyCoffee!

[Ossoff's Office @SenOssoff]

This month, Sen. Ossoff was honored to host Joyristas from @JavaJoyCoffee at his Welcome to Washington event to provide coffee and lemonade to Georgians visiting our Nation's Capital. Thank you, Lily, Nicky, and Megan, for bringing some joy to Washington!

“You will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran’s military had been ‘destroyed and made combat ineffective’ was a truthful statement to the American people, as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more?” https://t.co/aeZwKmGRq7

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout

Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.

After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."

A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"

Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.

Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous.

I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a primetime presidential sour grapes address, reheating debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

[Jacob Haythorn 🍑 @jacobhaythorn]

"If the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate." -- Sen. Ossoff

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

Sen. Ossoff: Did the President of the United States pardon a convicted narcotrafficker?

Clayton: Yes.

[Jacob Haythorn 🍑 @jacobhaythorn]

Seems pretty humiliating…

[CSPAN @cspan]

Jay Clayton refuses to answer Sen. @ossoff (D-GA)'s question on who won the 2020 presidential election: "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question — to have to indulge the president's delusions?"

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: Who won the 2020 election?

Clayton: I’m not going to get into that with you.

Ossoff: Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions?

[Jacob Haythorn 🍑 @jacobhaythorn]

President Trump will say anything to keep you from noticing that he’s getting richer while costs continue to rise for everyday Americans.

[Ossoff's Office @SenOssoff]

Sen. Ossoff: If the President calls Georgia's senators illegitimate, he is calling Georgia's voters illegitimate. Donald Trump tried to commit voter fraud in Georgia when he badgered Brad Raffensperger to "find" him the exact number of votes he needed to win in a state he had lost.

Senate Republicans just blocked Jon Ossoff's bill to ban Members of Congress from trading cryptocurrency and stocks.

"We could go to any town, any county in Georgia, and ask anybody of either political party or no political party, 'Should Members of Congress be playing the stock market while we make legislation?' and overwhelmingly the answer would be no."

[Jacob Haythorn 🍑 @jacobhaythorn]

@SenOssoff: “The American people are sick and tired of this corruption… the American people see through those excuses and demand action.”
