On authoritarianism

This is our new reality, Faith:

From classrooms to boardrooms to local governments and the press, Americans now fear political retribution from their own government.

Think of the CEO who bends the knee after public threats of prosecution. Or the newspaper owner who decides it's safer to bury editorial criticism of the President.

The President and his lieutenants relish the power of intimidation. And they're using it.

Before my election to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate, I led investigations of corruption and human rights abuses worldwide.

More and more, the atmosphere under Trump reminds me of countries where dissent is silenced by intimidation.

"We don't want any trouble." "We're not sticking our necks out right now." "We don't need an investigation."

These things should never be said in the United States.

During the confirmation hearings for RFK Jr., I noted the Republican Senate's total capitulation to Trump.

Then they confirmed a Trump loyalist to lead the FBI (for TEN YEARS) who is entering office having composed what many call an "enemies list" of MAGA's adversaries.

To lead the FBI.

Faith: Only by regaining Congressional power can we reverse this.

Remember: in 2026, I'm the only Democratic U.S. Senator up for re-election in a state Trump won.

MAGA needs me defeated and gone.

Help me defeat them in a landslide. Help fight back.

Please split a contribution between my campaign and Elizabeth Warren today to defend this Senate seat and fight to end this corruption in our government.
