Dear Democrats, You lost the 2016 election, and the nearly 3-year Mueller investigation didn't give you the results you hoped for. It’s time to MOVE ON from yet another sham.

When you push reckless policies that squander our resources, defy our values, leave 800,000 federal workers unpaid and millions of Americans without needed services, you don’t need to declare a national emergency. You are the national emergency.

I used my own *personal Quran* that my best friend of 25 years gifted me to use for the ceremonial swear in (basically a photo with Speaker Pelosi). *Note: I did not use Jefferson's Quran as reported. I wanted it to be more personal (and my own).

As of Thursday, DOD will be run by a former senior Boeing executive. EPA is run by a former coal lobbyist. HHS is run by a former pharmaceutical lobbyist. And Interior will be run by a former oil-industry lobbyist. Welcome to 2019.

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. #Hope #Ilhan 🙏🏾

Why is the AG giving updates to a private citizen about the status of an ongoing investigation?

Acting AG Matt Whitaker had breakfast at the Willard Hotel this AM with former AG Ed Meese, who tells me Whitaker told him John Huber continues his investigation into various FBI-related concerns raised in the last year by GOP lawmakers, including claims of improper surveillance

Pelosi, I was told, made the decision to expand the number of people new members could bring to the swearing in to 15, and it was wild to watch all these families w/ grandparents, kids, aunties, from such a wide array of American life there, beaming with pride.

This really happened. I am U.S. Congresswoman. Not bad for a girl from southwest Detroit who didn't speak English, daughter of Palestinian immigrants. #13thDistrictStrong: You helped change Congress forever. Now, let's get to work to change our neighborhoods. #rootedincommunity

Just learned from @vkaramurza via @maddow that Putin's party IS seeking to rewrite the history of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan! And our president just echoed the same. Amazing. I had no idea from where Trump had picked up this crazy idea. Now I have a theory. Thanks Rachel.

Jeanne Shaheen is threatening to block the Trump admin's invite of a sanctioned Russian official to visit the US. Dmitry Rogozin is barred for his role in Moscow's annexation of Crimea. Rogozin is an ultranationalist known for racist, homophobic rhetoric. politico.com/story/2019/01/…

Paul Whelan, the U.S. ex-Marine held in Russia on espionage charges, is also a citizen of Ireland. He has sought consular assistance from the four (!) countries where he holds passports. May help explain why the State Dept. response has been muted so far rte.ie/news/2019/0104…

We need leaders with diverse experiences & skill sets—nurses, doctors, teachers, scientists, artists, caregivers, entrepreneurs, tradeswomen—at all levels of gov't. Our experiences echo those of the majority of Americans; we should shape the policies that shape our country.
