Gen Z thinks the Morning Rush crew is pretty lame. But @ItsAlexOnTV @AustinKKim and I are fighting for our right to wear skinny jeans, use emojis and part our hair any way we want to (Austin excluded on that last one)

[Katherine Biek @KatherineBiek]

Call times for a morning news show are rough. But @sjkauf you always made those groggy days brighter with your energy, smile and one-of-a-kind puns. #MorningRush became infinitely funnier (and cheesier) because of you. Thank you friend.

[Simon Kaufman @sjkauf]

Goodbyes are never fun. @skodak_sarah and @KatherineBiek are the best and made our show better each day.

[Katherine Biek @KatherineBiek]

Thank you @StephensonNews for your beautiful and kind words. I'm so grateful for the incredible people I've had the opportunity to work with @Newsy — many of whom are now lifelong friends. This journey has been a wonderful ride!

[Lauren Stephenson @StephensonNews]

It's a sad day for us at #MorningRush because we're saying goodbye to two incredible @Newsy colleagues: Sarah Skodak and @KatherineBiek.

We're so fortunate to call them colleagues and great friends.❤️ While we're sad, we're excited for them as they embark on new adventures!

@StephensonNews and I discussed the nuances of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to let the law stand and what this means for women living in the state who want to get an abortion. @Newsy

Bringing some context to the number of US service members killed today (12 killed, 15 injured).

These are the first military deaths in Afghanistan in 2021.
There were 11 military casualties and 14 injuries in 2020.
There were 23 deaths in 2019.

BREAKING: The @DeptofDefense says 12 U.S. service members were killed and another 15 wounded in today's attacks at the Kabul airport.

An estimated 5,000 Americans have been evacuated out of Afghanistan since Aug. 14. Another 1,000 are believed to still be in the country. @Newsy

[Katherine Biek @KatherineBiek]

The U.S. believes ISIS is behind the Kabul airport explosions that killed multiple people earlier today.

I spoke to foreign policy expert @MichaelEOHanlon about what this could mean for the evacuation effort and how the Pentagon could respond. @Newsy

[Archive: Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder @PressSecRyder]

We can confirm an explosion outside Kabul airport. Casualties are unclear at this time. We will provide additional details when we can.

[Scripps National News @ScrippsNational]

WH Press Sec. Jen Psaki said 19,000 people have been evacuated from Afghanistan in the last 24 hours. Psaki said 90 flights flown out of Kabul, saying that's one flight every 39 minutes. As of Aug. 14 approx. 82,300 people evacuated.

The Delta variant was a script Hollywood and theaters weren’t ready for. To get caught up on the state of the industry and find out whether either side is making a profit, I chatted with BoxOffice Pro's @ShawnRobbinsWho in my latest segment on #MorningRush

[Katherine Biek @KatherineBiek]

All nursing homes will soon be directed to get staff vaccinated against COVID in order to continue receiving federal funding.
