It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Reproductive freedom is on the ballot this November. Make a plan to vote and cast your ballot by November 3rd.

Dr. Shah - In your ads you say you reached across the aisle to pass fentanyl legislation. What is the bill number that you got passed? In the last few years I see the bills that @QuangNguyenAZ got passed. If you passed one I want to give you credit, but I'd like specifics.

😂😂green sheep movement

President @BarackObama has always been a friend of Arizona and I’m honored to have his support again. I'm so proud of all we’ve done to move Arizona forward these last four years, and with your help, I'm ready to keep putting Arizona families first for another four. 3 weeks, Arizona. Let's go win this.

What are we on? Is it day 8 of trying to get @DrAmishShah to simply tell us what fentanyl bill he got passed? I was willing to give him the benfit of the doubt that he did. Now it seems he was just lying and can't produce a bill number.

This makes no sense. I have christian friends that like drag queens. Whats the difference between Madea or Mrs Doubtfire? Conservatives love those movies when its a straight guy dressing as a girl. U only have issue when it’s a gay guy.Its comedy.Its not meant to be taken serious

We are VERY disappointed that @jayfeely posted this message. As we TOLD Mr. Feely... @DrAmishShah parked exactly where we asked him to for this event. That decision was made in collaboration with the facility for security purposes.

Tucson agrees!

Day 5 of trying to get an answer from @DrAmishShah to a claim made during a campaign ad. I just want to know what bill he got passed. The only recent fentanyl bills I see were from @QuangNguyenAZ. If the doctor got bills passed, I would like to highlight them.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe in the Second Amendment but you don’t fucking need ten guns

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him. People are getting worried. I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. @KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.

Russia gave Iran intel to target our forces in the Gulf, prolonging the war and driving diesel costs higher. Then they “cut a deal” to get their sanctions lifted to ease the diesel crisis. Trump is a fucking chump.

Republicans when they have control of all 3 branches of government.

In Phoenix you can golf in the morning, drive through Sedona and ski in Flagstaff all in the same day. The Latino food, and culture scene is one of the best in the country. One of the best Native American museums in the world is the Heard museum in addition to the other 22 tribes of Arizona. Plenty of culture.
