Ossoff: Y'all remember they promised to drain the swamp? Instead, this is the most corrupt administration of all time, and everybody knows it. Everybody knows it. While Americans pay more and get less, while our insurance premiums skyrocket and hospitals close down services, while American service members are wounded and killed in action, the First Family’s raking in billions of dollars.

Ossoff: Ground beef’s up 25% since Trump was sworn in, coffee 40%, the price of gas 33%. Groceries, rent, health care, and the power bill hit their new all-time highs last month. And while you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan. All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Ossoff: Freedom is rare. Stretching back beyond the horizon of recorded history, most humans who have ever lived have lived at the mercy of lords and masters and kings. But we're a nation founded on the rejection of kingdom. We're a nation founded on the radical idea that all human beings have a natural right to liberty.

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.

Ossoff: The America First President, who said he would end foreign wars to put America first and focus on America's working class, instead, now he says, quote, “It's not possible,” for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare. Now he says all we can afford is war.

Ossoff: Now speaking of corruption, my two opponents. See, 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. And both already mired in scandal. The congressman under investigation for paying your tax dollars to his criminal staffer's girlfriend for apparently no work, while the coach's family got tens of millions of your tax dollars, courtesy of Governor Kemp, and then poured cash into the governor's PAC to prop up the coach’s campaign. They should have to come out and answer questions about all of it, right now.

Ossoff: Donald spent Saturday complaining on the internet… Six hours, 52 posts. The President attacked the Pope. He posted his own face on Mount Rushmore and a made-up Trump Peace Prize. He announced three times “America's back,” and he assured an increasingly concerned public he’s in excellent health. And when not posting, he's been trying to rob us.

Ossoff: Atlanta influences everything. Everything. And this fall, the entire nation will be looking to us here in Atlanta and across the State of Georgia once again to see what kind of message we want to send about the kind of country we want to be.

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: 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 at the opening of a coordinated campaign office in deep-blue south DeKalb: “This is the earliest we have ever begun this. And while the folks on the other side are going to spend spend the next month mired in their own mess, we are proceeding with unprecedented unity and unprecedented determination to get out the vote like never before. And it begins right here today.” #gapol

Ossoff: I am hearing from Republicans who come up to me on the street, or they approach me at the airport, or maybe they have my number and they give me a call, and they're telling me that they are voting for a Democrat for the first time this year because they've just had enough. The abuses of power, the blatant self-enrichment and corruption, while the American people face all-time high prices for rent and groceries and a meal out at a restaurant and the power bill — the people have had enough. And I believe that a mighty wave is building to rebuke these abuses of power and to restore checks and balances.

“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.” – @ossoff

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.
