23 years ago, from a refugee camp in Kenya, my father and I arrived at an airport in Washington DC. Today, we return to that same airport on the eve of my swearing in as the first Somali-American in Congress.

For now, Leadership has pledged not to use
#PAYGO to obstruct progressive bills, and I know all of you will join me in holding them to that promise. When I asked you all to join me as I enter the halls of power I meant it, and I thank you for raising your voice on this issue.Show this threadThanks.

The pressure all of you mounted on
#PAYGO helped create the space for progressives to win important concessions: -A hearing for Medicare for All -Repeal of a rule requiring a supermajority for tax increases -40% of every committee will be progressive caucus membersShow this threadThanks.

#PAYGO threatens our ability to enact the kind of transformative change we need at this moment in history. Truly undoing its corrosive impact on our democracy requires a change in law, which is why the first bill i'm cosponsoring is for a full repeal of the#PAYGO statute.https://twitter.com/RepJayapal/status/1081396191441707009 …

Wearing white for our swearing in was a small way we could honor those that paved the way for us. There journey might have been slightly different, but our struggle to achieve full equality is the same. Yes we can

Yesterday, Congress voted to lift a 181 year ban on headwear to make the
#116thCongress more inclusive for all. I thank my colleagues for welcoming me, and I look forward to the day we lift the Muslim ban separating families all over the U.S. from their loved ones.Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

As someone who has seen what it means to seek asylum at a border and be received with such generosity, I want to make sure we understand there are other countries who take in so many of the world's most pained people. In the United States we can do better.https://www.cbsnews.com/video/rep-ilhan-omar-of-minnesota-makes-history-says-us-could-do-better/ …

From a refugee camp in Kenya to the Capitol, this story has come full circle. This is the America I believe in, and the one I will never stop fighting for.

As a kid, I acted as my grandfather's translator at our caucuses and he was the one who first sparked my interest in politics. I wish he could be here to witness this historic moment, but he was here in spirit as I placed my hand on his Quran for the ceremonial swearing in.pic.twitter.com/PRNNOPQXuU
