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.

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.

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.
Graphic in red white and black with the text, “HANDS OFF CUBA END THE BLOCKADE NOW”
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.
Rep. Omar and Fridley Public School Superintendent Dr. Brenda Lewis pose for a photo together.
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.

Rep. Omar and three NALC Branch 9 members stand for a photo in the Congresswoman's district office in Minneapolis.
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.

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! 💪🏽

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from poor and working class families to pay for Trump's illegal war with Iran. It's unconscionable.

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. ✊🏽

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.

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.

Republicans sent ICE a whopping $75 billion through their Big, Ugly Bill last year.
This week, the House is voting to send MORE money to ICE.
This rogue agency murdered two Minnesotans in broad daylight. ICE shouldn't get a single penny—it should be abolished. I'm voting NO.
Join me for my March Town Hall next Monday, March 30th at 6pm in Spring Lake Park!
I will provide updates on my recent work in Congress and answer your questions. This event is free and open to the public. Register to attend through the link below. ⬇️

Eid Mubarak!
Wishing everyone celebrating in Minnesota and beyond a blessed Eid. May this day bring you renewed hope, joy, and love! 💙
I met with local leaders from across Minnesota's Fifth District to discuss how we can work together to strengthen our North Star State. 💪🏽
Here's a clear message for my Senate Republican colleagues: we will NOT support a bill that disenfranchises millions of American citizens.
The SAVE Act is voter suppression. It's a NO.
The SAVE Act is the largest assault on voting rights in recent history.
This bill will disenfranchise millions of voters including women who changed their name after marriage, students who moved out for college, or folks living with mobility issues.
Our Senators must vote NO.
