This week Senator Ossoff worked for us by:
“In 2022, my bipartisan investigations as chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations revealed the depth of chaos and dysfunction that has undermined security and civil rights in the Bureau of Prisons for over a decade. This bill asserts the Senate’s authority to confirm nominees for BOP’s leadership and hold them to the highest standards,” Sen. Ossoff said.
The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) is warning the Trump Administration’s tariffs “threaten the economic sustainability of farmers.”
“Trade is critical to the success of farmers and ranchers across the country. We share the administration’s goal of leveling the playing field with our international partners, but increased tariffs threaten the economic sustainability of farmers who have lost money on most major crops for the past three years,” American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said.
U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement after four servicemembers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division at Ft. Stewart passed away during a training exercise in Lithuania.
“I join all Georgians in mourning the devastating loss of four brave servicemembers from Ft. Stewart’s 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, who tragically lost their lives in Lithuania during a training mission.
“I send my deepest condolences to their families, loved ones, and fellow servicemembers on their loss.”
“Our servicemembers risk their lives defending our nation and upholding our commitments to our allies. We will never forget their heroism and bravery.”
“May their memories be a blessing.”
U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff released the following statement as the Trump Administration reportedly began mass layoffs of thousands of CDC employees.
“The Trump Administration’s war on the CDC continues with more reckless mass firings of thousands. This foolish attack on America’s preeminent public health agency leaves Americans exposed to deadly outbreaks.”
Today, Sen. Ossoff and a bipartisan group of Senators urged FIFA executives to strengthen resources for host cities working to prevent human trafficking ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“As conversations are ongoing between Congress and Host City Committees regarding Federal support for vital security funding needs, one critical issue that FIFA should not overlook is the need to prevent and respond to any human trafficking,” Sen. Ossoff and the group of Senators wrote. “However, in the past, FIFA has faced criticism for its poor track record in addressing human rights violations, as evidenced during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.”
Sen. Ossoff is backing the bipartisan Rural Veterinary Workforce Act to help address the veterinary shortage across Georgia.
The bill would allow veterinarians practicing in underserved areas to exempt student loan repayments from their taxable income.
