23 years ago, from a refugee camp in Kenya, my father and I arrived at an airport in Washington DC.
Today, we return to that same airport on the eve of my swearing in as the first Somali-American in Congress.

@maddow watching your show right now, a show I love, and confused as to why you basically just told another woman, a wildly talented and productive politician who has done so much good for her state and our country, to basically “stay in her lane.” Why? What was that about?
Just discovered Strangers by @airmia22 and I'm hooked! There's such a air of positivity to it, even through the shitty stuff. Also, great to see so many women creators.
Thank you @outmagazine for this incredible honor!!! What a dream come true ✨ This list is mind blowing, and I’m over the moon to be included in a group of so many of my own personal heroes. Thank you ❤️💙💜🧡💛💚
INCOMING THREAD: You might have noticed that Porter County, Indiana still had 0% reporting for the #2018Election as of this morning. See this map from CNN. Porter is that gray county in the upper left. I was a poll worker there this past Tuesday. You might want to buckle up. 1/25
Elections should be over a 3 day holiday weekend. You should be registered when you get any state issued ID. The voting age should be 16. Number of polling places should be based on population & ease of access. Gerrymandering should be illegal & the electoral college should be 🚽
Make no mistake: This race is not over.
As we have done since day one, my team will continue to work around the clock to make sure that every ballot is counted—because voting is the bedrock and lifeblood of our democracy.
Let's get it done: https://t.co/N2q2Sr4RyY #gapol
In a race this close, one vote could be the difference between a loss, a runoff, or a victory. If you voted on a provisional (paper) ballot, you need to make sure your vote was counted. Call Voter Protection immediately: 1-888-730-5816. #gapol
HERSTORY looks real good America!!!!
