Good news on six Philly residents who were stuck in Kabul. They’re on their way back home. The hard part of their journey, getting to/into the airport, succeeded bc of their perseverance and the persistence of a patchwork of volunteer networks here in America. #DigitalDunkirk — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: They have been airlifted out on a flight facilitated by the US military. But the hard part – getting to and *in* the airport - is the success story of their perseverance and the persistence of a patchwork of volunteer networks here in America. — PolitiTweet.org

"It's ludicrous .. empty words," says Rep. @MichaelGWaltz - fmr Green Beret and Army vet who served in Afghanistan - of Biden's vow to “hunt down” attackers while withdrawing. "Logistically, militarily I think it would be incredibly challenging." https://t.co/fvtf5LUiif — PolitiTweet.org

"Wishful thinking of the highest order" - that's how @peterbergencnn views Biden's promise to strike back against ISIS-K. "We're pulling out every troops, all US Troops and our intelligence assets are almost entirely gone," he says. "So where do you engineer that strike from?" https://t.co/mGtFfaLVrg — PolitiTweet.org

Nice touch - bringing the military into your disparagement of mental health resources as the veterans community faces a mental health crisis. Veterans, all, if you need help, there is help. Seeking it isn’t weakness. https://t.co/Yd341NG325 — PolitiTweet.org
