Rising Democratic star Jon Ossoff has eviscerated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his funding cuts, saying the health secretary left Americans vulnerable to the fast-spreading “explosive diarrhea” parasite.

In a scathing letter, the Georgia senator, 39, accused Kennedy, 72, of a “foolish and self-indulgent demolition” of the CDC’s Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, which had tracked the diarrhea-causing Cyclospora parasite until its surveillance was reduced from eight to just two pathogens in July 2025.

“And now a cyclosporiasis outbreak sweeps the nation,” Ossoff told Kennedy. “Your foolish and self-indulgent demolition of critical public health programs puts Americans at risk.”
