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 am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.
Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.
We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

Mr. President,
As Members of Congress, the only country we swear an oath to is the United States.
Which is why we are fighting to protect it from the worst, most corrupt and inept president we have ever seen.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

Secondly, I fled civil war when I was 8. An 8-year-old doesn’t run a country even though you run our country like one.

Elections have consequences.
Biden within hours of taking the oath of office was able to: revoke Muslim ban, rejoin Paris Climate Agreement,
extend federal eviction moratorium,
rescind Census orders to exclude non-citizens, preserve/fortify DACA and much more.

Sorry, @ALGOPHQ, but this is a representative democracy.
I was elected with 78% of the vote by the people of Minnesota's 5th District, not the Alabama Republican Party.
If you want to clean up politics, maybe don’t nominate an accused child molester as your Senate candidate?

Let’s be clear about this: if a Muslim woman was nominated to SCOTUS you would see Republicans lose their mind about her religious background...
“Sharia law” would be trending right now.
Miss me with the pearl-clutching and all this righteous talk about religious freedom.

Noor ran her personal best this season, only to be told it didn’t count because she made the choice to wear a hijab.
I’m standing with her. Every rule that is ignorant of religious freedom must be overturned.

Literally none of this is true and this woman needs to get help. We have to stop allowing members who are experiencing mental breakdown to continue to work without getting them the help they need. This is an emergency, let’s help her before she hurts herself or one of us.
Ilhan Omar mocked the cold-blooded assassination of an innocent American husband and father.
She’s supported ISIS.
She’s supported the Muslim Brotherhood.
She’s incited political violence.
And tonight, Congress protected her.

2) Incitement of violence for orchestrating an attempted coup against our country.

This country was founded on the ideas of justice, of liberty, of the pursuit of happiness. But these core beliefs are under threat. Each and every day. We are under threat by an administration that would rather cage children than pass comprehensive immigration reform.

I will be honest and say it’s getting really scary to serve with people with guns, who dehumanize and target you.
I fear that with no accountability, no recourse and calls to “move on” will turn this toxic environment into a deadly situation.

Hi Jim,
I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war.
It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors.

Stop saying “we can’t afford” Homes for All, Green New Deal or Medicare for All.
If we didn't spend trillions on endless wars and tax breaks for millionaires, we could afford to house our homeless, care for our seniors, and save our planet.
We suffer from greed, not scarcity.

Hey Ted 👋🏽 You know I’m not even eligible to run for president. Maybe it’s time to brush up on the Constitution.
While you’re supporting Donald Trump, a candidate who traffics in hate and called your wife ugly—I’m supporting a capable and qualified candidate to lead our country.
You should sit this one out.

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."

Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress 🤣🤣
No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect.
They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!
An absolutely stunning racist attack on @IlhanMN from Tucker. I'm shocked
She is "living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country"
She "is a living fire alarm. A warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration. Or else"

Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. Sad she thinks bigotry gets her clout.
Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t funny & shouldn’t be normalized. Congress can’t be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation.
Over the Thanksgiving break, Lauren Boebert said she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Ilhan Omar when a fretful Capitol police officer ran up.
Lauren Boebert said: “Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.”
Boebert then called Ilhan Omar, “jihad squad.”
