We’ve secured $32.5 million for 4 crucial infrastructure projects in Minnesota’s 5th District. These transit projects will help better connect Minneapolis to the suburbs and improve our economy. 💪🏽 #FightingForThe5th https://t.co/wVB861oxti — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

45 million Americans now carry student debt. The pandemic has only made this crisis worse. We need to cancel student debt and give families across the country the opportunity to pursue their dreams of homeownership, opening a business, or starting a family. https://t.co/Wo2iNpPAD8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Two professors, Dr. Marc Hillmyer and Dr. William Doherty, from @UMNews testified before the @HouseScience Committee and the @ModernizeCmte. Glad to have their voices and expertise brought to the People’s House. Minnesotans get things done 💪🏽 https://t.co/XVDlbqo0fY — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

As we begin our withdrawal from Afghanistan, we must ensure Afghans who risked their lives to serve our country are granted Special Immigrant Visas to live in the United States. We must honor our commitments and leave no one behind. https://t.co/umt3Btp4ap — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

In honor of World Refugee Day, we should extend humanity and compassion to asylum seekers and refugees. It’s important that we as a nation and as a movement proudly stand up for the rights of those seeking refuge. https://t.co/cpx6932uZH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Every single student deserves a quality education and the support to make that possible. The Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act addresses the over-policing in our nation’s K-12 schools and provides resources to help all students thrive. https://t.co/VZPxORbb0p — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Egypt engaged in routine human rights violations. It's also clear Egyptian intelligence was complicit in the Khashoggi murder. We need a human rights advocacy that is consistent around the world. https://t.co/znpfdwq0VN — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Today would be a good day to make school meals universal. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

The Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law used to justify the Muslim Ban and detain Japanese-Americans during World War II is *still* on the books. I reintroduced legislation to put this hateful law in the dustbin of history where it belongs. https://t.co/vCgOn2mVyC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Next month, working families will start to receive monthly child tax payments of up to $300 per child. This tax credit will lift millions of children out of poverty! 💪🏽 You can learn more here: https://t.co/JCDZNAYk0N — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Student debt is holding millions back from pursuing their dreams of homeownership, opening a business, or starting a family. What would it mean to YOU if we canceled student debt? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Our criminal legal system should be centered on restoration and rehabilitation. We must radically transform our approach to criminal justice and ensure formerly incarcerated individuals are fully supported in their transition back to society. https://t.co/rCpAWW7JXX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Proud #Juneteenth is now a federal holiday. As we reflect on the significance of what this day symbolizes, let’s keep fighting to address the lasting consequences of slavery. Next step: reparations. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

I asked the Administration about their efforts to at long last close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center. https://t.co/8hkOfH5IMS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Kids need support, not punishment. In my city of Minneapolis, Black students are 41% of the student population, but make up three quarters of all suspensions. Proud to support the Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act to make sure our kids have the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

As Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ And we have an opportunity in this moment, in this Congress, to bend that arc towards justice — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

We must pass the For the People Act to end the corruption and influence of big money in politics. We must abolish the filibuster, a relic of the Jim Crow Era. And we must at long last provide reparation to address centuries of harm and provide resources to uplift Black lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Now we must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights to protect the right to vote. We must pass the George Justice in Policing Act to end qualified immunity and protect innocent Black men, women and children. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Today is a landmark step on the long march to justice. But it should not be an excuse for neglecting the substantive work that is needed on behalf to the Black community. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

This is a milestone. For centuries, African-Americans have celebrated their emancipation without an official day of recognition from their country. https://t.co/99ODrnxlsc — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

The failures of the Minneapolis Police Department have cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in the last decade alone. Imagine if we created a public safety system that empowered and protected our residents AND invested in our community. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

I’m headed to the White House today to see President Biden sign a bill to make #Juneteenth a federal holiday! As we celebrate this milestone, we must renew our commitment to address the lasting consequences of slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

We as a nation and as a movement must proudly stand up for the rights of all asylum seekers and refugees. Proud to join Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service ahead of World Refugee Day! — PolitiTweet.org
