Tulsi Gabbard: “You’re right, Mr. president! I was wrong, Mr. president! Please don’t be mad at me, Mr. president!” Actually that sums up the whole Republican Party, too.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.
