U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar called out President Donald Trump on Sunday, days after his vicious personal attacks on her and the Somali immigrant community in her home state of Minnesota. “It’s disgusting. It’s completely disgusting,” Omar told CBS on “Face the Nation.” The 43-year-old congresswoman and former Somali child refugee said of the president, “These are Americans that he is calling garbage, and we feel like there is an unhealthy obsession that he has on the Somali community, and an […]

President Trump’s contempt shocks the country’s largest Somali community

Even for a president who has long made clear he’s no fan of Somalia, the latest round of White House contempt was a shock Wednesday in the country’s largest Somali community. “They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country,” President Donald Trump told reporters during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting. “We can go one way or the other, and we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.” On Wednesday, he doubled down: […]

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., says enough is enough when it comes to media narratives around political blame in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

Tim Walz, Harris’ VP running mate, hailed as proven ‘friend’ to Black community

Though Kamala Harris’ vice presidential running mate, Tim Walz, may be seen as an “old white guy” – a phrase the Minnesota governor used in jest during his first campaign rally on Tuesday – those familiar with his record say he has always been on the side of Black and marginalized communities.  “He has proven to be a friend of the Black community,” said Fred Redmond, secretary-treasurer at AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union organization.
