Rep. Ilhan Omar

This $12 billion aid package for farmers is a fraction of the $40 billion Trump handed to Argentina just months ago.

Trump’s own tariff war wrecked farm incomes, and now he’s showing up with a short term band aid for a crisis he manufactured.

Somali Americans are part of this nation and we’re going to keep contributing no matter how many times extremists try to erase us.

Ilhan Omar says Trump attacks on Somali immigrants 'deflect attention' from scrutiny NPR's Michel Martin speaks with Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who came to the U.S. from Somalia, about President Trump's tirade against Somali immigrants.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing Somali Minnesotans is creepy.

We are not leaving and we will not stop fighting for a country that welcomes all of us.

The president is doing what he does best: deflecting.

He is attacking the Somali American community to hide the fact that he has failed to deliver on nearly all of his promises.

But we are resilient and, despite the president's disgusting remarks, we will continue to thrive.

Minneapolis Fire Chief Bryan Tyner has been a dedicated public servant to our communities for over 30 years.

I'm incredibly grateful for his work keeping our communities safe & wish him the best in his new role as the Executive Director of the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center.

My message to Trump: Your message of bigotry won’t work. Somali Americans are here to stay. 💅🏾

It should shake every one of us to read that the Secretary of Defense may have ordered the killing of unarmed survivors.

This dangerous overreach has led to a war crime.

These strikes are exactly the kind of unchecked military actions I moved to block through a War Powers Resolution.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay, and I’m thinking about the communities who fought to get us to this moment.

Thanks to PEPFAR, HIV treatment is more accessible and more people are living long, healthy lives.

Let’s keep fighting for a world where everyone can get the care they need.

This Thanksgiving, I’m feeling grateful for the people who keep me grounded and hopeful including my family, my hard-working team, and those in our community who show up for one another every single day.

Happy Thanksgiving 🧡

The Pedophile Protection Party tried everything to keep the Epstein Files from coming out.

That's why we needed to pass a discharge petition to get a vote on the House Floor to get the truth out because GOP leadership refused to act.

It's time for answers and transparency.

Educators are the heart of the Fifth District, working every day to give our kids the quality education they deserve.

That's why I'm working in Congress to ensure our teachers get the fair pay and support they need, inside and out of the classroom. 💙💪🏽

Starbucks employees in Minneapolis, and across the country, are striking for

✅ Fair wages
✅ Proper staffing
✅ End to union busting

I'm proud to stand in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org until they get the fair contract they deserve! 💪🏽
#NoContractNoCoffee

153,074 jobs were cut in October, the highest since 2003.

Republicans broke the economy, fueled mass layoffs, and now want to blame Democrats because the numbers look bad.

Give me a break.

Congratulations to Rep. Adelita Grijalva on her swearing in!

Proud to welcome her to Congress and even prouder that her very first act is signing on as the 218th signature to the Epstein discharge petition.

Incredible to see the northern lights shine down in Minnesota's Fifth District last night!

The public deserves to know who enabled Epstein, who looked the other way, and who’s still being protected.

Survivors have waited long enough.

Release the Epstein files NOW.

This Veterans Day, and every day, we honor our veterans for their service and sacrifice.

I’ll continue to fight to ensure our veterans and their families get the support they need. That starts with ensuring they get the best healthcare and benefits they deserve.

Trump and Republicans are using this shutdown to:

-Cut off critical food assistance from children and families
-Allow healthcare premiums to double for millions
-Stop federal workers from getting paid

NO.

Trump administration asks appeals court to immediately halt ruling on SNAP funding The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court to issue an emergency stay of a judge's ruling Thursday ordering the administration to fully fund SNAP.

Unacceptable. People are starving and the president does not care. The cruelty of this Administration is beyond unconscionable.

We’re 36 days into the longest shutdown in American history.

All it would take to end this shutdown is for Republicans to agree to extend ACA tax credits, something that would directly help millions of Americans.

It’s way past time to get to the negotiating table and end this.

Happy Halloween! 👻

My office got a few spooky visitors this morning! Wishing you all a fun and safe holiday 🎃

Tonight on the @deanobeidallah.bsky.social,
@repilhan.bsky.social talks about how Zohran's opponents are trying to use his faith to make him a boogyman.

No billionaire will ever see their credit score drop because of medical debt but millions of working people will.

This administration would rather give tax cuts to billionaires and side with credit bureaus and corporate interests, while people are penalized for getting sick.

It was an honor to share my experience as a Congresswoman with Girl Scouts from South Minneapolis to help them earn their democracy badges!

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Defunding food banks is a new level of cruel.

The Trump admin cut $500 million in food bank deliveries. These are the very food banks families are being forced to rely on with SNAP funding running out on Nov 1.

96 million pounds of food wasted is heartless.

When Washington fails, our community steps up.

If you need help putting food on the table, please reach out to the Fifth District's incredible food assistance centers. To find one in your area, call my District Office at (612) 333-1272 or visit helpmeconnect.web.health.state.mn.us/HelpMeConnec....

7 years ago, 11 people were murdered in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

We remember their lives, stand with the survivors, and continue to combat the hateful ideology of white nationalism.

The heroes of Annunciation First responders recall the chaos and trauma of Aug. 27, when a mass shooting at Annunciation Church in south Minneapolis killed two children and wounded more than two dozen others.

There aren't enough words to describe our gratitude for the heroic actions of our first responders at Annunciation Catholic School this August. Thank you for your incredible bravery and strength!

SNAP benefits stop in November for more than 440,000 Minnesotans if shutdown continues Hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans were notified, as of Tuesday, that they will stop receiving food assistance benefits come Nov. 1 if the government shutdown continues, according to the Minnesota D...

Come November, nearly half a million Minnesotans will lose access to the critical support they need to put food on the table.

That's who Republicans are putting on the line as they extend their vacations and keep the government shut down. Shameful.
