He has repeatedly attacked her, Somali Americans, and Minnesotans. @Ilhan has done nothing to justify a pre-dawn raid ahead of the election. I stand with my sister always.

Instead of acting to protect us, the Federal Reserve allowed these banks to finance the destruction of our planet and our health. I’m taking action with Senator Markey and Congresswoman Pressley to require the Federal Reserve to finally do…
Islamophobic racists are yet again marching in Dearborn to terrorize a whole faith community.
People of all faiths and of all backgrounds belong, and deserve to practice their religion and celebrate their cultures freely without fear.
Their silence is complacent and normalizes fearmongering and racism. We know that targeting any community doesn’t allow any of us to be safe.
More leaders, including local elected officials, must speak out, especially against the local instigators participating in the spread of hatred under the guise of faith.
To all our Dearborn families and residents: I have your back. I wish I could take away this pain, but know that you are not alone.
Dearborn is a beautifully diverse place, home to a vibrant, loving Muslim community, and our families do not deserve to be subjected to such hate and bigotry.
This data sharing should terrify all of us. It does nothing to make us safer, but rather endangers the basic rights of all Americans and worsens our mass surveillance crisis.
When people fly, they should be able to trust that TSA won’t divulge their sensitive information or use it for political retaliation.
If we truly want to unify our country, we have to really respect every single voice. We say that so willingly when we talk about Trump supporters, but we don't say that willingly for my Black and Brown neighbors and for LGBTQ neighbors or…
You all think about ways you can obviously uplift and show what ICE is doing with the billions of dollars that the Trump administration has been pouring in there.
These are real human beings, real lives that are being impacted, but it’s being done in a very dehumanizing, very aggressive way that it really doesn’t create a fair, just immigration system.
When ICE comes into one community and violates people’s civil rights or uses weapons, excessive force, it is a violation of all of our civil rights.
It’s important to understand the impact of what the Trump administration is doing, using these law enforcement agencies or these extensions of agencies that are supposed to be keeping us safe. They’re actually not doing that.
A system designed to terrorize our families, lock our neighbors in cages, and inflict suffering on our communities can never be reformed. ABOLISH ICE.
Trump’s illegal and unprovoked bombing of Venezuela and kidnapping of its president are grave violations of international law and the U.S. Constitution. These are the actions of a rogue state.
The vote was about "immediately ending all U.S. participation in the Israeli government's violent assault against the people of Lebanon."
Congress must reassert its constitutional authority and immediately vote to end all unauthorized U.S. participation in the destruction of Lebanon.
Without that support, those jets cannot drop bombs to kill Lebanese children.
I want to make this very, very clear: The United States is not a bystander to these war crimes.
These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that’s the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force.
I would like answers from the Trump administration on its targeting of students as well as organizations on issues that pertain to free speech.
