This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul. pic.twitter.com/U7IpK3Hyj8

No matter how many people we can get out, it will never be enough. I’m disappointed in our country for announcing its departure. They really should have started evacuating people months in advance and not announced our withdrawal until everyone they were taking out was out.

How much money did we spend in Afghanistan over the last 20 years that we were told we could never afford to spend at home?

We asked Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki for comment about Afghanistan.
Here the actual automated response: "I will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd." pic.twitter.com/PCi8gDqhwL
