Most of us know what year we were born. It’s the first fact we ever own. Ilhan Omar’s office, it turns out, had to fix hers. And it fixed it after she got to Congress. For years the record was plain. Her birthdate was listed as October 4, 1981 in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, on Wikipedia, and by major outlets including the BBC. That date stayed put through her time in the Minnesota House and her first run for Congress. Then came the spring of 2019. She’d been in Washington four months. A video from a political rival was
