Rep. Ilhan Omar is extending an olive branch — and offering some advice — to Rep.-elect Don Leonard after he claimed some senior Democrats threatened him. 🎥: @jacob_wass

Somali American Nafisa Fai could make history in Oregon as she takes the lead in a closely contested election. Nafisa is running to lead the government of Washington County, Oregon, a county in the Portland metropolitan area. New election results released Tuesday show Nafisa leading her opponent, Pam Treece, by just 363 votes, with 49.6% of the vote compared with Treece’s 49.45%. If she wins, Nafisa would become the first person of color to chair the Washington County Board of Commissioners, the elected body that oversees county government. The race remains too close to call, with more ballots awaiting verification. The next update is expected Friday. Source: Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). -- opb.org/article/2026/11/10/w…

‘JD, habibi’ is going viral after Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed used the phrase to mock JD Vance in his victory speech. Now, the Arabic term of endearment is inspiring viral videos, memes, music, and even a political fundraising committee.

Take that, Stephen Miller, @StephenM! You’ve made Somali Americans a special target of your Nazi hatred. Here they are, stronger than ever. And in Europe, too! America rejects fascism!

Antisemitism is a problem for America, not a partisan problem. It’s real and it’s wrong - and having experienced it firsthand I’m not going to be lectured on it by anyone, including the Fox and Friends hosts after a bad election night. My faith isn’t anyone else’s problem. The fact that too many Americans feel like America has lost faith in them is our collective problem and challenge that we should all work on.

Another progressive East African (Ethiopian, Tigray) new member of the United States Congress. This is a blow to the racist right. In addition, her advocacy on behalf of the marginalized could also help save lives in Northern Ethiopia where hundreds of thousands have already been killed by their own government. Congrats sister: to whom much is given, much is required,” and I hope you live up to this adage.

BREAKING: SOMALI STRONG! 9 Somali Americans won their elections last night despite the vile racist smear campaign that Trump has been waging against their entire ethnicity. Victory is the best revenge... Trump called Somalis "garbage." His relentless attacks against their communities were the most consistent racist barb in his arsenal this election cycle. He was convinced that throwing hateful red meat to his base would carry the day for MAGA. “I don’t want them in our country," he said. “They contribute nothing," he said. “Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage," he said. “Let them go back to where they came from and fix it," he said. He called Somalia “barely a country” and said Somalis come from “hell.” He said, “Their country stinks”. But last night, the American people stood up and showed him exactly what they think of Somalis. We support them, value them, and we think they belong in government! Rep. Ilhan Omar won reelection. Omar Fateh and Zaynab Mohamed won Minnesota State Senate seats in Minneapolis. Samakab Hussein won a Minnesota State House seat in St. Paul’s East Side. Mohamud Noor and Anquam Mahamoud won Minnesota State House house seats in Minneaplois. Abdi Daisane flipped a Minnesota State House seat in the the St. Cloud area. Ismail Mohamed and Munira Yasin Abdullahi won Ohio House seats in Columbus. Trump tried to make them a punchline. Instead, they made history. The MAGA era is over. We are sick and tired of letting these demented fascists divide us along racial and religious lines. America is vibrant, multiracial democracy and if Republicans don't like it, they can get out! Please ❤️ and share to congratulate these winners!

Fox News studio resembles a house of mourning. If you weren't following the election, you’d think they had just lost their finest. An eerie, funereal silence hangs over the room; staff speak in hushed tones, as though a body were lying. Their propaganda machine reached the end!

It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.  Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.
