Representative Ilhan Omar, a current member of the U.S. Congress serving Minnesota's 5th District, has been vocal on social media about her political stances. On April 1, 2025, she expressed support for Senator Booker, who has been speaking out against the agenda of prominent figures such as Trump and Musk.
On April 1, 2025, Rep. Omar tweeted: "For 15 hours and counting, @SenBooker has been holding the line on the Senate floor, speaking out against Trump, Musk, and the GOP’s reckless agenda. This is the kind of relentless resistance our democracy demands. Keep going, Senator." The message underscores her appreciation for Senator Booker's efforts to challenge political figures and policies she considers detrimental.
A day later, on April 2, 2025, Omar criticized the Republican Party’s plans with the following tweet: "Republicans are dismantling the Department of Education in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. We should be investing in our kids’ future success, not lining the pockets of the ultra-wealthy." Her comments highlight her concerns regarding educational policy and fiscal decisions.
On the same day, she also addressed former President Trump's policies, sharing her views regarding economic impacts in another post: "Trump’s 'Liberation Day' is a tax hike on Americans. His tariffs will make items more expensive and spark global retaliation that will crush businesses. The only thing Trump is 'liberating' is YOUR money from YOUR wallet straight into the economic dumpster fire he’s creating." She articulates her apprehension about the effects of tariffs on the economy and consumer costs.
