It's a safe bet that some Republicans who are rightly hammering Biden this week for not doing enough to get more Afghan allies out will cynically criticize him next week for letting in too many. My column explains how Biden should preempt this hypocrisy: https://t.co/F1ZJY74mPb — PolitiTweet.org

Croatia and Serbia both claim Nikola Tesla — and fight over it — but he emigrated to the USA at age 28. And he did his best work here. Immigrants get the job done. They are part of our not-so-secret sauce. 🇺🇸🗽⚡️ https://t.co/0f8BvM73Nb — PolitiTweet.org

“We should not even be thinking about closing the book or backing off, but rather ratcheting up the effort,” says David Relman, a Stanford University microbiologist who has pushed for a broad investigation of all covid origin hypotheses. https://t.co/SP6WfYulDV — PolitiTweet.org

Biden received a classified report today from the intelligence community that was inconclusive about the origins of the coronavirus, including whether the pathogen jumped from an animal to a human in a natural process, or escaped from a Wuhan laboratory. https://t.co/SP6WfYulDV — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Moulton, the Dem congressman who went on an irresponsible joyride to Afghanistan today, has been privately trying to get Biden to fire ⁦@JakeSullivan46⁩, according to two Democrats with knowledge of the situation, per ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩ & Co. https://t.co/63EW5EBfzl — PolitiTweet.org

Officials expressed disgust at diverting resources to accommodate congressmen while racing to get evacuees out of the country. “It’s one of the most irresponsible things I’ve heard a lawmaker do,” said one diplomat. “It absolutely deserves admonishment.” https://t.co/63EW5EBfzl — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s as moronic as it is selfish,” said a senior administration official. “They’re taking seats away from Americans and at-risk Afghans — while putting our diplomats and service members at greater risk — so they can have a moment in front of the cameras.” https://t.co/63EW5EBfzl — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Paige on a great run as the anchor of Health 202. She’s going to be a fantastic editor. But we will all miss her byline. Readers have been lucky to have her covid insights throughout the pandemic, and her ACA coverage before that was always top shelf.🥼😷💉🎉🍾 — PolitiTweet.org

America should consider supporting these brave freedom fighters in Afghanistan. Once vetted, we could send them arms, choppers, money and maybe even some agency advisers to help them challenge Taliban rule and thwart the theocrats from consolidating control over the country. — PolitiTweet.org
