[β] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (3 children) First male Muslim senator? What about Ilhan Abdullahi Omar permalink fedilink source hideshow 3 child comments replies: [β] Armand1@lemmy.world [S] 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children) The article does not say "male", just "first Muslim Senator". Ilhan Omar is in Congress The House rather than the Senate, does that mean she's "representative" not a "senator"? I don't know how this stuff works. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago (1 child) Youβre close. The House and Senate make up Congress (the bicameral legislature). Both are members of Congress. Members of the House are Representatives and members of the Senate are Senators. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [β] Armand1@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 5 days ago Thank you!
