Vice President Harris released a report with details about her health and medical history, which concludes she has the mental sharpness to serve as president, a senior aide said.

I continue to believe we are underreacting to this political moment.

The piece by ⁦@RadioFreeTom⁩ is the best explainer of why the Biden administration is “holding their fire & keeping their powder dry” when faced with all those who want to “do something.” Brilliant & spot on by someone who understands the stakes. https://t.co/vONDBW5H1J

Many have been wondering how airstrikes in Afghanistan will be folded into the PPG (Presidential Policy Guidance) rules meant to apply outside areas of active hostilities. Looking like lots of flexibility will remain as to ISIS-K. Perhaps same will be true as to AQ.

@lavern_spicer Report this tweet for directing hate against a specific group of people. I just did.

@mirriam71 @amess @SCCDP Formula, toothbrushes, diapers and pacifiers headed your way! Thank you for doing this.

I know that some things are generally less “popular” to give than others. If you would let me know what you’re having a harder time getting, I would be more than happy to help with those.

Ian Fritz flew 99 combat missions in Air Force gunships, listening to the chatter of Taliban fighters below. And then, he writes, he finally heard what they were saying: https://t.co/CetNv5gVYv

Texas' COVID surge is about to get as bad as it's ever been.

ICU beds are running perilously low across the state. We're nearing record breaking hospitalization levels for covid patients, who are more than 93% unvaxed

@BadRobbins @KFILE @jaketapper You’re thinking of a different vote on a different bill (I’m not defending anyone’s vote on that other bill).

THIS vote, however, consisted of sixteen Republican “no” votes, and zero “no” votes from the other side of the aisle.

@TheNi11a @BankerBun @TylerWilhelm97 @KFILE What Justin said. And if you would like it in easily digestible article format, here ya go:

“The bill passed 407-16, with the ‘no’ votes coming entirely from Republicans.”

[Kristin Pearson @kpearson]

@TracieLDavis1 @KFILE @Dave_Boucher1 I’m not disagreeing with your overarching point, but all 16 “no” votes in this case came from the Republican side of the aisle.

“The bill passed 407-16, with the ‘no’ votes coming entirely from Republicans.”

The Bulwark communicated by text message with an Afghan Air Force pilot in hiding.
Bulwark: "Anything you want the public to know?"
Afghan: "Many Afghan soldiers died bravely...Please don’t leave us behind. We will be great Americans."

Please do not spend a second personally attacking @RepKinzinger for his sincere beliefs on #Afghanistan. This may seem unusual, but disagreements like this on POLICY is what it looked like before Trump. Let’s be civil and not confuse him with the America-hating insurrectionists.
