I know that there is going to be a lot of criticism and vitriol directed at Cheney today โ€” particularly on this site โ€” but we should endeavor to recognize when those with whom we disagree, however vehemently, stand up and do the right thing. We wonโ€™t defeat authoritarianism if we canโ€™t do that.

While nothing can ease the pain of losing a child, I'm relieved Omer's parents, family, and loved ones can give him the proper burial he deserves.

May his memory be a blessing.
