Terrible scenes on the streets of Kabul today. Refugees from the provinces unloading bedding from taxis, families weeping outside embassy gates, downtown packed with those running last-minute errands.

The United States continues to stand with the people of Haiti during this sad time and mourn for the lives lost to this disaster.  The Congress applauds @POTUS’ actions to assist Haiti, and we call on the international community join us to marshal a robust global response.

If Grace passes near or over Haiti Monday night, 4 to 7 inches of rain could fall on the battered island, with isolated totals reaching 10 inches.

This much rain could lead to flash flooding and potential mudslides from Monday into Tuesday. https://t.co/TkYGZaPgWh

Funny, I don't remember any members of the media pissing their pants when Mike Pompeo met with Taliban leaders *last year* literally on the anniversary of 9/11 in order to finalize a peace deal. pic.twitter.com/oEpR0C7XrK

To recap, Trump – the great dealmaker – releases 5,000 Taliban fighters while dropping our troop level to 2,500 and when Biden pulls those troops (as per the deal *Trump* cut) & the Afghan army folds, it's somehow Biden's fault. Go off, sir. https://t.co/DD66jJMfJm

Women in Afghanistan, and those living as refugees in Pakistan or Iran have become so accustomed to war they have often replaced traditional motifs of flowers and birds in their rug weaving with images of war, including drones, tanks and guns #WomensArt pic.twitter.com/PHzNdTAuc1

I don't pretend to have any experience or expertise on what's unfolding in Afghanistan, but I do know it's a heartbreakingly complex and painful situation and I'm curious at those who feel comfortable offering a definitive conclusion on all of it in the space of one tweet.
