HISTORY MADE: Somali American Abdi Daisane flips longtime Republican seat in central Minnesota.
Daisane defeats Republican Mike Conway in Minnesota House District 14A, becoming the first Democrat to win the district in more than a decade.
The district includes parts of St. Cloud, Waite Park, St. Joseph and St. Augusta.
Daisane, who lost his first bid for the seat in 2024, makes a historic comeback in a district long held by Republicans.

Peggy Flanagan defeats anti-Somali Republican Michele Tafoya in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race.
Flanagan makes history as the first Native American woman elected to the U.S. Senate, defeating Tafoya, who made attacks targeting Somali Minnesotans part of her campaign.
Tafoya repeatedly singled out Somalis in discussions of gang violence and fraud, accused Democrats of failing to address what she called “Somali gang violence,” and campaigned on deporting noncitizens convicted of fraud.

ICE raids. Anti-Somali rhetoric. Rising prices.
For these young Somali American voters in Minnesota, the issues are personal.
The Somali Brief spoke with three voters about what motivated them to cast their ballots in the 2026 midterm elections.
Here's what they told us.
“My closest family and relatives had to deal with ICE.” — Eftina, 18, a first-time voter in Minneapolis, shared how her family's experiences with ICE shaped her decision to vote.
“The problem is not our kids are ‘gangsters’ or bad. I think it’s being used as a political movement.” — Mahad Ahmed.
“We shouldn’t have to be paying for gas and groceries that are this high.” — Fardus Hassan, a University of Minnesota student.

The Trump administration announced nearly $30 million in new fraud charges in Minnesota on Friday, targeting alleged schemes involving Medicaid and other taxpayer-funded programs.
FBI Director Kash Patel said four people were arrested after federal agents executed 17 search warrants Thursday. The arrests were tied to a 26-count indictment involving more than $41 million in alleged Medicaid fraud.
Federal prosecutors also said 13 defendants have been charged, convicted or sentenced since Sept. 30 in cases involving nearly $83 million in intended losses.
The new charges include allegations that providers billed Medicaid for autism therapy and home support services that were never provided. Prosecutors also accused one woman of paying parents kickbacks in exchange for submitting Medicaid claims for autism services.
“The cases highlighted today represent my office’s unwavering commitment to protect the integrity of taxpayer-funded programs,” said U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel N. Rosen. “These defendants stole money meant for the vulnerable, and they will be brought to justice.”
The Justice Department said investigators have issued more than 1,000 subpoenas and executed more than 40 search warrants in Minnesota this year.
But when a reporter asked about the federal government's own spending, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed the question as a waste of time.
The reporter wanted to know why the Trump administration paid $495.6 million for a vacant prison in Appleton that its owner had offered to sell to Minnesota for $75 million just a year earlier.
"I don't know anything about that," Bessent responded. He said officials were there to prosecute criminal fraud and that questions diverting attention from that work were "a waste of our time."

“Minnesota faith leaders protest midterm election ads they say target the Somali community. Clergy members met early Wednesday and went together to Uline's Milwaukee-area headquarters. They’re asking Uline’s CEO to stop paying for ads that they say depict Somali Minnesotans as..

This may have already been widely observed, but it just occurred to me that Trump probably ordered this high-profile raid on Ilhan Omar's home, accusing her of immigration fraud and threatening to denaturalize and deport her, just before the election to make immigrants afraid to go to the polls on November 3rd or even to vote by mail.
And to throw some red meat to any xenophobes who've been thinking twice about Trump as their gas and grocery prices soared. #Somalia @IlhanMN

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.

🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.

The truth many cannot shut their eyes to. The EU/UK/USA knows what lies beneath. Breakaway Somaliland is a one-clan enclave. This is Borama capital of Awdal state (or near Bab al-Mandab Strait) ripping apart the secessionist billboards.
Marx Roble retweeted
The people of Awdal are not people who support secession. They are patriotic citizens who want to keep their country, Somalia, united and refuse the division of the nation. Since 1991, they have been suffering and dying because militias calling themselves Somaliland have carried out violence against them simply because they stand for Somali unity and reject separation.
Where is the Somali government? If Somali unity truly means something, then stand with Awdal. The people of Awdal are shedding their blood for Somali unity and the preservation of Somalia.🇸🇴

It’s time to call out the British government’s hypocrisy. How can a criminal who fought for a foreign army (the IDF) be allowed to work as a doctor in the UK. On top of that, he has confessed to killing babies. Meet Eastland Christopher Staveley.

For decades, many parts of Iran have struggled with severe drought. Now, some of those same regions are seeing levels of rain and snowfall not recorded in over 60 years.
This shift comes shortly after a strike on a secret weather-modification and cloud-seeding base in the UAE, raising new questions about the timing and cause of the strike.
Is this just a natural weather cycle, or could there have been outside interference all along? Were the US, Israel, and other adversaries secretly deploying technology to block rain and snowfall in Iran?

BBC isn't a neutral provider of news reporting or editorial analysis; instead, it advances Western or UK foreign policy assumptions.
Its coverages operate as narrative machinery that help normalize and legitimize the militarization of strategically important regions of interest to European powers.
Therefore, everything it reports advances certain policy of interest, even when reporting factual events. That interest is Israel’s intervention of Gulf of Aden.

Here is the Somali version of the SNM manifesto secessionist, single-clan Somaliland project. It mirrors tactics associated with Zionist Israel targeting and silencing opposition, systematically weakening and dominating rivals, and conducting coordinated propaganda campaigns against northern Somali tribes that resist it.
