[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.

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.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

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)

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!

[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)

[Waleed Shahid 🪬 @_waleedshahid]

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."

Weird how you haven’t had anything to say about other Mideast countries who influenced so much of our politics and policy but found the time to say something about the one country who leads the charge to oppose the Abraham-accords and normalizing relations with Israel?!?

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

No foreign government should be influencing what our kids are taught in American classrooms.

We need transparency, accountability, and strong safeguards against foreign interference in our education system. American students should be learning facts, not Qatari-funded narratives.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

I have always, and will continue, to stand with the Ukrainian people and unequivocally condemn Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion. I voted against the Ukraine Support Act because of its inclusion of broad economic sanctions. Time and again, sanctions like these fail to achieve their stated goals while inflicting real suffering on ordinary people. Opposing Russian aggression does not require us to support policies that punish ordinary civilians who did not ask for this war.

The foreign policy establishment continues to return to the same failed playbook and expects different results. Economic sanctions fail to achieve their desired goals and in most cases are counterproductive to ending war.

I remain committed to supporting diplomacy, peace, and justice for the Ukrainian people affected by this horrific conflict. But I could not in good conscience support legislation that wages economic warfare on innocent civilians.

[Rep. Joe Neguse @RepJoeNeguse]

Tax cuts for billionaires, while gutting assistance programs for hard-working Americans.

Unconscionable.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Gas prices up nearly 50%.

Groceries up 30%.

Health insurance up 26%.

Childcare up 9%.

Trump’s "Golden Age" is working for billionaires while working people are paying the price.

America last.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Finally. It’s past time we end Trump’s illegal war.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Cheers in the House as the war powers resolution passes

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Congrats to Dr. Adam Hamawy on his resounding victory tonight in the NJ-12 primary!

Special interests lost.
Justice, dignity, and compassion won.

I can’t wait to work alongside him to guarantee Medicare for All, end forever wars, and abolish ICE. 💪🏽

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

nyt can you please have some decency about a decorated war veteran combat surgeon who saved tammy duckworth's life, who treated 9/11 first responders and was in gaza during the genocide. i get that he's muslim and antizionist but this is a shameful and racist subheader!
