Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim's trial is this Sunday. He is a 16-year-old Palestinian-American citizen who is unjustly imprisoned.

He has lost 1/4 of his body weight in prison.

The Israeli government must release him immediately.

Sorry, Trump can hate all he wants. I’m not going anywhere. 👋🏽

Our city deserves new leadership.

I encourage you to rank Omar Fateh first and also rank DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton.

I joined the Slate for Change door knock launch and I’m beyond hopeful we’re going to build a city that works for all of us.

Reminder: Republicans are more concerned with protecting pedophiles than protecting the American people.

Day 30 of the shutdown and the pedophile protection party only cares about ensuring the Epstein files are not released.

Trump was able to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for his new ballroom.

Yet he can't find funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare or stop kids from going hungry.

Cruelty is the point.

"If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them." -Paul Wellstone

This weekend marked the anniversary of his passing. He will forever remain one of my political heroes. Thinking of him always.

Congratulations to Catherine on her historic victory as the next President of Ireland. I know she will lead with compassion, peace, and justice at the forefront. 

This is a win for all of humanity! 🇮🇪 🙌🏽

Self-inflicted diva down.

Mike, come to the negotiating table and end this shutdown. Stop doing Trump’s bidding and reopen the government.

You can be "happy Mike" by negotiating and not kicking millions of Americans off their healthcare.
Mike Johnson: "I don't like being mad Mike. I want to be happy Mike. I want to be the happy warrior. But I am so upset about all this. God bless America."

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

Waiting for it to trickle down...
Billionaire wealth has gone up by $33 trillion in the last ten years.

15 days into the government shutdown.

We cannot allow Trump to throw millions off their healthcare or raise premiums by 75% just to hand out tax breaks to his billionaire donors.

This is where we are ⬇️

I’m so excited to have my Congresswoman and friend, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, on board with my candidacy for Mayor! She fights hard for the working people of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I’ll partner with leaders like her to build an affordable city that's accountable to us. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

Minneapolis deserves a champion for working people.

This is our opportunity to build a city where every single resident can thrive. I can’t wait to cast my ballot for my friend and colleague, Omar Fateh, as my first choice for mayor by November 4th, and I hope you will join me.

For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.

Republicans want to double your healthcare costs.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people.

Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense.

And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

New day, same fake story. 👋🏽

Donald Trump is an embarrassing, racist, and corrupt liar.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.-IO
Trump: "The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia. I told him, 'you have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run our country. Would you like to take her back?' He said, 'No I don't want her!'"

Invoking the Insurrection Act in his manufactured war on American cities is both illegal and unconstitutional.

Another unhinged act of authoritarianism.
Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act?

TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.

It is outrageous that the United States spends more on its military than the next 9 countries combined.

Imagine if we stopped spending half of the nearly $1 trillion Pentagon budget and invested it in healthcare, education, and housing instead.
October 2, 2025 at 2:36 AM
Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created.

They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care.

NO.

Trump doesn’t understand you can’t bully a Black woman. We’re built different.💪🏽

From denying Somalia had a president to making up a story, President Trump is a lying buffoon. No one should take this embarrassing fool seriously
September 26, 2025 at 1:45 AM
You can’t make this shit up. Our president is embarrassing.

To the haters: The one thing you're not going to succeed in is silencing my voice. 💅🏽

I'm grateful to represent great Americans who have faith in me to carry their voice, to fight, and to ensure that they can afford their lives.

I’m proud of my Somali heritage, proud of my faith, and beyond proud to be an American.

P.S. To the president: no, you can’t impeach a member of Congress 😉
