Sen. Ossoff: Farmers are really hurting right now.

Sen. Ossoff: We have a health emergency in Georgia.

Dear Secretary Kennedy, We urgently write to request an update on the status of building repairs security improvements necessary for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eight months ago, CDC employees in Atlanta, Georgia were horrifically attacked. On August 8, 2025, a gunman approached the Clifton campus and fired hundreds of rounds into six buildings that pierced 150 blast-resistant windows. The gunman tragically killed responding DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose. Thanks to his bravery, and the many other law enforcement officials who rushed to respond to the shooting, the threat was neutralized and the campus was secured. In the aftermath, images of hundreds of the bullet holes in the windows of multiple windows were made public. Shockingly, those bullet holes remain today. This is unacceptable. You must take immediate action to repair and safeguard the CDC Atlanta campus. In the wake of the shooting, we called on CDC’s then Acting Director James O’Neill to conduct a thorough analysis of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CDC’s security protocols, to work with the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigations to identify any threats to the CDC federal workforce and establish additional security protocols, and to pause any terminations or restructuring of CDC divisions & staff. We received no response to our Congressional inquiry. Instead, CDC leadership required its personnel to return to work within two weeks of the shooting, leaving the bullet-damaged buildings & windows unrepaired. Two months after the shooting, more than 1,300 CDC scientists, doctors, & health officials were fired. Congress appropriated Fiscal Year 2026 funding for HHS two months ago and directed HHS to fund $100 million in necessary repairs & security improvements at the CDC campus. While we appreciate CDC employees have reportedly been notified that repairs will in fact happen, we remain concerned about the timeline of the work.

Please respond in writing within the next 30 calendar days, providing details of the work to be completed, the timeline in which that work will begin and is projected to be completed by, and the measures HHS has taken to implement security improvements for the CDC Atlanta campus. Further, we request a detailed briefing for our legislative staff on the progress of restoring the CDC campus. We look forward to your response.

NEW: After reports that the CDC's Atlanta Campus is still in need of repairs following last year’s shooting — including bullet holes still in windows — Sen. Ossoff and @warnock.senate.gov are pressing Secretary Kennedy for updates.

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Masked federal agents are detaining citizens without cause and raiding Americans' homes without a judge's warrant. A growing number of Americans have been assaulted or killed. This cannot be America.
