Ilhan Omar

Rep. Ilhan Omar sparked a backlash on Twitter after posting a tweet in reaction to billionaire Leon Cooperman saying he would support Michael Bloomberg for president.

Two bills passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support on Tuesday, one recognizing the Armenian genocide and the other calling for sanctions on Turkish officials.

The House voted overwhelmingly to support the bill recognizing the early 20th century genocide, in which more than 1 million Armenians are thought to have been killed.

"Hijab-wearing women and girls don't need permission to exist," Omar tweeted Saturday. " I'm standing with [Noor]. Every rule that is ignorant of religious freedom must be overturned."

North Dakota Democrat Oley Larsen has refused to resign his leadership position after controversial social media posts, despite being called upon by Democrats and Republicans to do so.

Rep. Ilhan Omar responded after a North Dakota Republican shared a debunked picture which he falsely claimed showed her checking a gun at an Al-Qaeda terrorist training camp.

Ocasio-Cortez is expected to make her endorsement of Sanders official at Saturday's rally in Queens, New York.

"I believe Bernie Sanders is the best candidate to take on Donald Trump in 2020," Omar said in a statement late on Tuesday evening.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) introduced the The Universal School Meals Act Tuesday, which would mandate free meals for all U.S. school children, regardless of family income.

Fatima Abdelrahman described how she as "scared" and "worried" after airline staff allegedly asked her to take off religious headscarf in public.

"We want somebody who really has a plan that is going to tackle a lot of the systematic challenges that we have, and he doesn't," Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said of former Vice President Joe Biden.

"I could certainly not understand the weight of the pain that the victims of the families of 9/11 must feel. But I think it is really important for us to make sure that we are not forgetting the aftermath of what happened after 9/11," Omar said.

Omar responded to a video funded by Elizabeth Heng's PAC, 'New Faces GOP,' that shows a photo of fellow Squad member Ocasio-Cortez in flames.

"It is great news for America," the right-wing host said of Trump's national security advisor's ouster.

Netanyahu made his pledge on Tuesday in a bid to win over right-wing voters ahead of next week's election, which is expected to be close.

Golriz Ghahraman said she "swapped notes" with the U.S. congresswoman.

But President Trump and his cronies are pitting fellow Americans against one another, sowing division that undermines everything we're supposed to stand for as a country.

The language is nearly identical to Trump's, who in recent months has made racially-charged comments about Omar and other minority members of Congress.

President Donald Trump is dead wrong to stand in the way of a congressional delegation.

The president doesn't understand that Jewish support for the Democrats has nothing to do with Israel. It has to do with the question of anti-Semitism and inclusiveness.

"The Jewish community is less safe than it was three years ago," Ron Klein asserted.

The spoof of "West Side Story" sees Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib confront the president in the White House.

Trump was condemned for remarks he made in the Oval Office which critics say used the anti-Semitic trope of Jewish Americans having dual loyalty to the U.S. and Israel.

"It is not mearly [sic] an antisemitic dog whistle — it's a bullhorn to his white nationalist base," the progressive Jewish-American group IfNotNow told Newsweek in a statement.

Omar clarified that "pretending that this act somehow balances or mitigates Israel violating the dignity and rights of Palestinians—or undermines cases for defending Palestinian rights—is deplorable."

"Denying a visit to duly elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally and denying millions of people freedom of movement or expression or self-determination is not consistent with being a democracy."

The Muslim congresswomen have been condemned in the past for making anti-Semitic tropes and supporting a boycott movement against Israel.

Their joint effort to ban U.S. congresswomen from visiting the West Bank aligns the U.S. and Israel with the global authoritarian right.

"Who wouldn't be proud of a granddaughter like that? I love her and am so proud of her," Tlaib's grandmother told The Washington Post.
