Please don’t forget we have American hostages imprisoned in horrific conditions by the Taliban - including this husband and father who was committed to providing humanitarian aid to the Afghan people. Now Hu’s wife is appealing for help nbcnews.com/politics/nationa…

Ryan Corbett is one of at least three Americans being held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
His wife Anna stayed quiet about his case for more than 14 months.
Now she's going public. nbcnews.com/politics/nationa…

NEW: “We do not believe Syria merits readmission into the Arab League at this time, a point we have made with all of our partners,” a State Dept spox says.
“That said, we share many of the same goals as our Arab partners with respect to Syria…”

Siamak’s interview was heartbreaking. Our family stands with him, his family, as well as Morad and his family. @POTUS, Siamak showed great courage in reaching out to you the way he has. Now, pls show us your courage. Our 3 families have repeatedly asked for a meeting with you since you took office 778 days ago. Still no meeting. Just silence. We are the family members of 3 innocent American citizens who have been imprisoned for a total of 17 years simply for being Americans. Meet with us.

End of an era at the @statedept press office as Gladys Boggs retires after 44 years at State, including 35 dealing with the logistics of news conferences, photo ops and overseas/UNGA travel. Congrats, Gladys!

This is a fantastic read by @RebeccaBeitsch & @HelloLauraKelly on everything done behind the scenes by Members & their staff to help Americans & Afghans flee the country, giving important insight into just how horrifically @StateDept failed to plan for this foreseeable disaster.
This morning @HelloLauraKelly and I take you on a behind the scenes look at everything lawmakers and their staff did to help Afghan evacuees as their offices were flooded with desperate pleas.

Biden on what he sees as the big foreign policy picture:
"This decision about Afghanistan isn’t just about Afghanistan: it’s about ending an era of major military operations to remake other countries."
Abigail Williams retweeted
Roughly 350 Americans who want to leave are still in Afghanistan, the State Department says.
Some of that number have probably already left the country, with just three days left before the deadline for the U.S. to withdraw.
