Ilhan Omar

Mom, Refugee and Congresswoman for #MN05. Progressive Caucus Deputy Chair. Fighting for a more just world.✨ 📚

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I became a proud DFLer because I saw something special here.

We show up for our neighbors.
We organize for the future.
We fight for the values that make this country great.

Let’s keep fighting like hell for the country we love.

“We don’t get to keep all the good stuff that makes Minnesota, Minnesota and we don’t get to expand on those things without good people in elected office.”

@IlhanMN on why we need to hit the doors and talk to our neighbors this summer!

Alhamdulillah! I can’t imagine experiencing what she had to a still smiling as a first time candidate but respect her grace and resilience and I am very proud of her. We are very lucky to have a principled leader and someone who understands who it means to be a leader carrying for their whole constituency. Congratulations sis and welcome to Congress!

Absolutely despicable. The police in Mississippi murdered a 1-year-old baby.

My heart is shattered. Black children deserve to grow up.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

🇺🇸: U.S. police shot and killed 1-year-old baby Kohen Kartier Wiley while he was in a car outside a Walmart store in Mississippi.

Police fired into the car while responding to an alleged shoplifting incident – admittedly seeing baby Kohen before shooting.

It should be a no-brainer: 

No stock trading for members of Congress, the vice president, or the president.

No billionaires buying elections through super PACs.

The government should work for the American people—not wealthy donors and corporate interests.

[Darializa for Congress @DarializaforNY]

Hate has no place Uptown and in the Bronx, nor in our politics.

Tomorrow, we have a choice: keep the hateful politics of the past, or welcome a new day Uptown and in the Bronx.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

While the killers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti walk free, the DOJ is busy bringing bogus charges against protesters.

The Administration thinks intimidation will make us back down.

They keep learning the same lesson: Minnesotans don't scare easily. We organize for our rights ✊🏽

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I can’t believe it has been one year since Melissa and her husband, Mark, were taken from us.

Melissa was not only my dear friend, but she was also a remarkable woman whose strength and compassion left an unforgettable mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. I miss her every single day. She was a force in every sense of the word, leading with courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to Minnesotans across our state. She never hesitated to stand up for what was right, to fight injustice, and to use her voice on behalf of those who needed someone in their corner.

Although the loss of Melissa and Mark is still deeply felt, their light will continue to shine through the countless people whose lives they changed. ❤️

Living rent free in Trump’s head 💅🏽. Imagine if he spent half the time fixing our economy that he spends obsessing over me?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: The complainers didn't build the country. Guys like me built the country. I watch all these, ingrates, they're always complaining. They didn't build anything. All these people came in for Somalia. Ilhan Omar is corrupt and most of the people that came in are corrupt and the whole voting system is corrupt in Minnesota

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

AIPAC is toxic. Anyone who stands up to Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime is threatened with AIPAC-funded primary challenges.

Every single member of Congress should have the courage to reject AIPAC money.

[UEFA @UEFA]

🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I agree. The future of A.I. should belong to the American people, not billionaires seeking to maximize their profit.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge.

The wealth it generates must benefit humanity — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other AI oligarchs.

That’s why I’ll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act — to give the public a direct ownership stake.

One-way ticket to where you came from with your name on it, Nancy. 👋🏽

[Nancy Mace @NancyMace]

Headed back to the private sector at the end of this term, as the Founders intended.

When I ran in 2020 I said I'd only serve 3 terms and my time is up. It's truly been an immense honor and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

[khalil Erigavo @khalilErigavo]

Since Africa’s best ref Omar Artan is all over Twitter today, it’s worth remembering that Wavin’ Flag the 2010 World Cup song and one of the greatest football anthems ever was also by Somali artist @KNAAN 🇸🇴🇸🇴

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“I promise you, God willing, I will attend the next one.”

The Somali World Cup ref turned away by Trump & Stephen Miller’s blatantly racist policies speaks about the experience.

We have absolutely no business hosting this event at the moment. A disgrace. ⚽️(from AP)

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

Sarah McBride: “Congress’ top bathroom sheriff, Nancy Mace, was on the ballot. And while all of the votes have not yet been counted, she’s in a respectful 5th place. I don’t like to punch down and I believe in the politics of grace, so I’ll just say, Happy Pride, Nancy.”

[Higher Learning @Higher_Learning]

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!

https://t.co/v0ynuS4RHi

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is such a shameful decision by the Trump administration. The World Cup is supposed to be an event that transcends divisions and allows people to come together for the love of the sport. Omar Artan might have been denied entry even after being granted a visa but his story and talent will be celebrated long after this racist administration leaves office. Viva Mr. Artan 💙

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“It is unconscionable for Congress to allow this conflict to go on. Thousands killed. 1 million+ displaced.”

117 Dems just joined Republicans to BLOCK a push to limit Trump’s ability to help ��🇱 bomb Lebanon — including Tennessee’s only Democratic congressman @RepCohen (Memphis)

Several elected officials said they didn't know Smotrich was coming, but the pre-parade guest list already included an Israeli official who called to "get rid of all the mosques" and another who demanded "a Nakba worse than 1948."
