- One Nation nonprofit spent $1.7 million on false attack ad against Senator Ossoff in Georgia — One Nation, an opaque nonprofit affiliated with Senate Republicans, spent $1.7 million in five days to deliver 78 million impressions of an attack ad against Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) across Georgia. The ad falsely claims Ossoff voted to "gut" the child tax credit, supported a "$2,100 tax increase," and voted for higher taxes on Social Security recipients earning under $75,000. In fact, Ossoff voted to expand the child tax credit to its largest level in history and voted against the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that Republicans supported. One Nation does not disclose its donors, making the funding source opaque.
