Last week, House Republicans pulled down the vote needed to stop Trump's war with Iran because they knew it was going to pass and upset Trump. Congress has failed to assert its authority for 12 straight weeks. End the war now.

It was a joy to gather CD5's incredible Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community leaders at Eat Street Crossing to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month! I'm so grateful for their leadership to strengthen our North Star state. 🌟

This past year, my Youth Advisory Council worked to find solutions to the issues that mean the most to their communities. I joined their final meeting to hear their policy proposals and thank these incredible students for their service to the Fifth District!

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and around the world! May this Eid bring you renewed hope, peace, and love. 💙

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We’re forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

I introduced a bill with @shaheen.senate.gov and @repchrispappas.bsky.social to put a stop to manufactured home evictions and hold bad landlords accountable.  Let’s get this done. omar.house.gov/media/press-...

Mark your calendars! 📆 I'm hosting my May Town Hall in the 50th and France area on Thursday, May 28th at 6pm CT. I'll share an update on my work in Congress and answer your questions. This event is free and open to the public. Register to attend here! ⬇️ www.eventbrite.com/e/may-town-h...

Minneapolis parks rank third best in the nation! 🌱 Our neighborhoods thrive when we work together to invest in our community spaces. I'll keep fighting to strengthen our parks & rec programs in Congress! 💪🏽 www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I'm relieved to see the Minnesota legislature reach a deal to save Hennepin County Medical Center. HCMC is our state's safety net hospital. I'm glad to know its doors will remain open for thousands of Minnesotans who rely on it to get the critical care they need.

My heart is with the communities impacted by the devastating wildfires burning across Northern Minnesota. I'm incredibly grateful to our National Guard, emergency responders, and local officials working tirelessly to contain the fires and keep Minnesotans safe. www.startribune.com/mn-wildfires...

Thrilled to join UMN's Community-University Health Care Center for the groundbreaking of their new facility! CUHCC has served over 12,000 Minnesotans every year for over six decades. It was my honor to present them with a Congressional Record recognizing their incredible work.

It’s about damn time Congress legalized marijuana.

It was my honor to present Ed Felien with a Congressional Record in recognition of his remarkable career as a journalist and the work he did to keep Minnesotans informed through his publication, Southside Pride. We're wishing him the very best in his retirement!

Proud to present Southside Community Health Services with a congressional record to celebrate the opening of their Southside East Lake Street Clinic. This clinic will give Minnesotans access to high-quality healthcare, regardless of ability to pay, in a beautiful new space.

Thank you to all the high school students who came out and shared their bold ideas at our Youth Council Town Hall in Minneapolis! I'll keep working in Congress to make their bright vision for our future a reality. 💪🏽

I sat down with leaders and advocates from Clare Housing and Sage to ensure we’re doing everything we can to push back against Trump’s cuts to HIV prevention, care, and treatment services. We’ll keep fighting for a world where everyone can get the care and support they need.

Started my day off with some amazing students at Lucy Craft Laney Elementary School in North Minneapolis. We had an interactive reading of "Jayden's Impossible Garden." Always incredible to meet with the Fifth District's brilliant students!

We hosted our annual legislative breakfast with leaders across the Fifth District to ensure we are coordinated in our efforts to push back against Trump's attacks on working Minnesotans. Together, we can build the bright future our communities deserve!

This May Day, I'm deeply grateful for the workers who keep our nation running. Every worker in the United States deserves a living wage, benefits, and the right to collectively bargain. 💪🏽

Our democracy is on life support. But we are a country ready to fight to protect it.

The conflict in South Sudan has left the nation on the brink of a massive hunger crisis. For millions, aid can be the difference between life and death. We have a moral obligation to take immediate action and provide critical humanitarian aid. aje.news/vmf1pc

The House is voting today to extend FISA, a law that's been used to violate Americans' privacy and unfairly target minority communities. This bill has no meaningful reforms to stop warrantless surveillance, directly undermining the 4th Amendment. I’m voting NO.

We hosted CD5's incredible artists at our 2026 Congressional Art Competition Reception! I'm proud to announce this year's winner, Will, whose piece, Bowl of Unity, will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol. A special thank you to Patience Zalanga for delivering a keynote address!

Republicans just opened the door to a massive mining project in the Boundary Waters—putting one of the most pristine ecosystems on the chopping block so corporations can profit. On #EarthDay, let’s be clear: you don’t protect the planet by selling it off.

Millions of Americans use marijuana, both medically and recreationally—yet, federal restrictions limit universities from conducting critical cannabis research. I introduced a bill with @titus.house.gov to remove these barriers and help us make better public health decisions.

Trump claimed "Operation Metro Surge" targeted the "worst of the worst." In reality, ICE ripped 70 kids away from their families, friends, and schools. Our children deserve justice and accountability. That starts with abolishing ICE. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters. Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation. NO.

88 of the largest corporations in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes—while making $105 BILLION in profits. The rich keep getting richer, while working families get screwed. It is way past time for the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. #TaxDay

This Black Maternal Health Week, I'm honored to display a portrait of Fatima Carter, a Black woman who lost her life at 32 to a pregnancy-related complication. We owe it to Fatima, and every family like hers, to make the systematic changes Black mothers deserve. #InHerHonor

Trump's illegal war with Iran will impoverish 32 million people worldwide. Congress has a moral obligation to end this war and immediately move to impeach Trump. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Trump is driving up utility costs by blocking clean energy projects, all to subsidize fossil fuels. We're not going back. Our Energy Bills Relief Act will: 🌱 Restore clean energy tax credits 🌱 Prevent utility shut-offs 🌱 Incentivize utility companies to lower energy bills

I was honored to join Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social for a panel to share the legislative work we're doing at all levels of government to address the impacts of “Operation Metro Surge” on our community. I won't stop fighting until we abolish ICE. mndaily.com/campus/umns-...

Great to visit Minneapolis's first Mobile Medical Unit and talk to the incredible staff members! The medical staff at this mobile health unit provide private, dignified care, treatment, and resources directly to our communities hit hardest by addiction and chronic illness.

A few postcards my office has received in the last few weeks. Even during our darkest moments, Minnesotans choose love as their guiding light. 💙

Avivo Village is a tiny home community designed to be a dignified, safe alternative to outdoor encampments. I was proud to secure $850,000 in federal funding to expand their Chicago Ave center. I'll keep fighting to invest in affordable housing for the folks who need it most. 💪🏽

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Trump's oil blockade on Cuba is suffocating an entire nation. This is a clear, despotic attempt at regime change, and civilians are paying the price.

I sat down with Fridley School District Superintendent Dr. Brenda Lewis to thank her for her work to protect students and families from unlawful ICE operations, and get an update on the support our community members need as they recover from "Operation Metro Surge."

Happy Easter to all those celebrating in Minnesota and beyond! Wishing you a day filled with peace, joy, and love. 💙

It's always yes to bombs, but no to our babies. This is what America last looks like. newrepublic.com/post/208523/...

A functional public mail system is indispensable to our communities, but it cannot come at the expense of our postal workers' safety. I met with NALC Branch 9 workers to discuss what needs to be done to ensure safe working conditions for our hardworking letter carriers.

This Supreme Court decision puts our kids in danger. "Conversion therapy" is abuse—it's an unsafe, discredited practice that inflicts lasting trauma on LGBTQ+ youth. We need to ban this reprehensible practice nationwide. apnews.com/article/supr...

The University of Minnesota's Nutritious U Food Pantry provides free food to students and community members. I joined Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley and student government leaders for a tour of the facility and to learn more about its expansion and how they’re meeting students’ needs.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our March town hall in Spring Lake Park! I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to hear directly from you and take your priorities straight to the People's House.

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, I wanted to highlight the hard work of a few barrier-breaking women from across the Fifth District. These incredible changemakers are building a stronger future for our North Star State! 💪🏽 medium.com/@repilhanoma...

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from poor and working class families to pay for Trump's illegal war with Iran. It's unconscionable. www.axios.com/2026/03/30/g...

House Republicans just rejected the Senate's deal to end the DHS shutdown. 🤦🏽‍♀️ They would rather let TSA workers go unpaid than sacrifice a single dollar of funding for ICE. It's reprehensible.

Every worker deserves a fair wage and a safe workplace. Proud to stand in solidarity with nearly 4000 meatpacking workers as they strike for better working conditions. ✊🏽 coloradosun.com/2026/03/16/j...

Child labor violations are skyrocketing and Trump's @dol.gov is removing critical child labor protections. It's unacceptable. As Ranking Member of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee, I'm leading the Protecting Children Act to combat illegal child labor. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Marc called my office when he needed help signing his wife up for Medicare. My casework team was able to work with the Social Security office to get her coverage started in time. If you need help navigating a federal agency, reach out to my District Office at 612-333-1272. #FightingfortheFifth
