Barack Obama: “I believe there is a window of opportunity to make a serious push for resuming negotiations.”

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.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

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.

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.
