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.
Minnesota, thank you for welcoming my family with open arms when we arrived here as refugees.
You have stood by me every step of the way. I will never take that for granted. I will always have your back ❤️
Congratulations, Abdul El-Sayed.
You turned that inshallah into alhamdulillah.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude knowing that we will now have 8 Muslims serving in Congress.
They told us we couldn't speak up, couldn't challenge the status quo, and couldn't make it this far. But we did.
Alhamdulillah.
I always say, you get what you organize for.
Our team organized up and down the ballot across Minnesota and the country to elect leaders who will fight for working people. And today, we’re celebrating what that organizing made possible.
We flipped the Minnesota House and Senate, secured a DFL trifecta, and helped Democrats take back the U.S. House and Senate.
Congratulations to Amy Klobuchar, Peggy Flanagan, Keith Ellison, Jake Johnson, Matt Little, Abdul El-Sayed, and every candidate, organizer, volunteer, and neighbor who helped make this happen.
This is what people-powered organizing looks like. When working people come together, organize, and refuse to give up, we can change the direction of our country.
Now let's get to work.
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar danced at an election night party on Tuesday, November 3, after the Democrat secured her fifth term representing Minnesota in Congress.
Footage by Moon Media shows supporters celebrating and Omar taking to the dance floor at an event at Karmel Mall, the country’s first Somali shopping center.
Thank you, Minnesota! I’m incredibly honored to continue to represent you in the People’s House with a resounding mandate.
We will not allow Trump to silence us.

With Illinois LG Juliana Stratton winning the U.S. Senate seat, there will be three Black women serving in the U.S. Senate!

We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

It’s Election Day, Minnesota! Let’s make history and elect progressive leaders up and down the ballot.
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Find your polling place at MNvotes.org.
Make your voice heard. Check in with your loved ones and get them to the polls. Let’s finish strong.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will be an incredible fighter for Michiganders.
Abdul represents the future of our party. Don’t get distracted by the noise from shills for AIPAC.
Money out of politics.
More money in your pockets.
Medicare for All.
That’s the fight. Vote Abdul.
Surprise, surprise: Trump, who routinely pardons fraudsters and presides over the most corrupt administration ever, has no interest in actually addressing waste, fraud, and abuse.
Apparently, fraud is only a problem when they can scapegoat Somali Minnesotans.
3 days to vote and put a check on Trump’s corruption.
Ilhan Omar retweeted
They want to throw the Constitution out of the ring. We say NOT ON OUR WATCH.
Governor Jesse Ventura doesn't care about left vs right, he cares about right vs wrong. I'm proud to have Jesse on our team.
Jesse knows that when they come for our rights and freedoms, I don't tap out.
Five days left to vote. Get to the polls to put a check on this deranged man's lies, corruption, and abuse of power.
One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party.
Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote.
Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.
Ilhan Omar retweeted
Minnesota, let’s send my sister @IlhanMN back to Congress and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
