Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is once again under fire this time because her husband Tim Mynett's $25 million venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, purged key officer details amid growing questions about the couple's wealth and Minnesota's ongoing welfare fraud investigations. According to her latest financial disclosure in May, the couple's net worth surged 3500% in just one year; their net worth is now anywhere from $6 million to $30 million. The venture capital firm alone, per the filing, is worth between $5 million-$25 million.
Some members have even floated raising the threshold for censure - a rebuke that is supposed to carry significant weight but has been watered down by its growing use in recent years. Fine's effort would almost certainly fail because expulsion requires a two-thirds vote in the House. If all Republicans vote to expel Omar, roughly 85 Democrats would need to join them.
We've had people incarcerated for threatening to kill me, she told the Guardian in an interview at her Washington office. We have people that are being prosecuted right now for threatening to kill me and so it is something that does stay in the back of our minds.

Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by [ICE] agents, and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go, Omar said on Sunday in an interview with WCCO. She added that her son, who she did not name, had earlier been praying at a mosque when ICE agents arrived and entered, before leaving without incident.
When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany. Oh yes, Stephen Miller, the Jewish Nazi, responded Watters. Conservative radio host Dana Loesch weighed in, 2009, 2010, we were all told that we hated people and we were racist if we did not want to pass Obamacare, which makes about as much sense as calling Stephen Miller a Jewish Nazi, but I digress.
Donald Trump's back-to-back tirades this week against Somali immigrants in Minnesota, many of whom are U.S. citizens, brought into the open the kind of virulence that, during his first term, the President mostly tried to keep behind closed doors. "Their country stinks, and we don't want them in our country," Trump said on Tuesday, during a Cabinet meeting. On Wednesday, after an event at the White House, he called Somalia "a hellhole" and complained that Somalis have "destroyed our country."
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has seen her net worth jump to as much as $30 million, according to her latest financial disclosure, which dropped after the congresswoman dismissed the idea that she had become a millionaire. Omar's financial disclosure document was filed in May and shows that Omar and her husband, former political consultant Tim Mynett, accumulated a net worth in 2024 of $6 million to $30 million.
