To her left are duplicated images of her opponent, Don Samuels and several campaign signs that read "Ilhan for Congress." To her right are duplicated images of the US Capitol dome and an image of her supporters cheering one of her previous election-night wins.

    • A composite image with two sections: On the left, a gloved hand holds a handgun inside a transparent plastic bag, indicating it is being handled as evidence. On the right, a bar chart with yellow bars against a black background, displaying various numbers in thousands (e.g., 41K, 27K, 26K), suggesting data related to gun statistics. The visual style is gritty and textured, evoking a sense of seriousness.

    We Noticed You Have An Ad Blocker On.

    Can you pitch in a few bucks to help fund Mother Jones' investigative journalism? We're a nonprofit (so it's tax-deductible), and reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget.

    We noticed you have an ad blocker on. Can you pitch in a few bucks to help fund Mother Jones' investigative journalism?

    This is where you come in.

    We’re a nonprofit newsroom, because the truth-telling investigations we’re known for don’t happen under corporate ownership. We shine a bright light into the dark corners of power and report the facts other media are afraid to touch.

    The essential ingredient that makes this possible? Readers like you. Please stand with Mother Jones and make a donation today. These are dangerous times, and we’ve got a lot of hard, consequential work to do. But we can’t do it without reader support.
