House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday called for bringing the chamber back from recess so lawmakers can vote on legislation that would prohibit withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan until all remaining Americans are evacuated.
McCarthy's call came after multiple explosions around the airport in Kabul, where U.S. officials are frantically trying to evacuate Americans and Afghans at risk of retaliation from the Taliban, led to the deaths of multiple U.S. service members.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her leadership team called House members back to Washington earlier this week for a two-day session to adopt a $3.5 trillion budget resolution to begin the process for Democrats' ambitious spending plan to expand social safety net programs. But the House has since gone back on recess until Sept. 20 as previously scheduled.

Sure, leave it to the GOP to make a bad situation possibly worse and end up being blamed for the final outcome. Idiots.
No. Get our troops out. They have a turnip as Commander.
I have a better idea. Let’s airlift every member of Congress to Kabul Airport and leave them there until six months elapse after the last American leaves.
so more troops die because Biden and his cabinet are screwing this up?
There is no good solution right now that doesn’t mean more death.
A pox on Biden and Woke Milley and crew.
What an absolute catastrophe and disgrace.
McCarthy should be calling them back to begin impeachment proceedings.
Is there anything more useless than a Bush League Republican?
Lock and load. More fighting startig up in Kabul. Gunfight going on near Afghan Parliament in Darul Aman area of Kabul city. A 3rd, 4th, and 5th explosion is reported in Kabul.
Is he going to write a letter.
Bastards..all of them !this didn’t have to happen! Resignations must happen!
“Sure, leave it to the GOP to make a bad situation possibly worse and end up being blamed for the final outcome. Idiots.”
They don’t call them the stupid party for nothing! (Pelosi probably gave McCarthy marching orders).
McCarthy should be demanding the resignation, of the President, the hoe, the cabinet, and the chiefs of staff. Then conduct an investigation of all the memos and emails between the military command, whitehouse, and state department!
Hey McCarthy, this is nothing but grand standing! You know Pelosi’s answer.
The rotten members of Congress are thinking “Whew. What a great time to be on a luxury vacation. Just turn off all the news and it’s back to relaxing in the jacuzzi.”
Did kev consult with his roomie first? Better get the tall-ee-bahn in on the Zoom call cause they don’t seem to be on board with what “Way To Go Joe!” is indicating. Maybe get raggedy jen on it to since the respect assertive womxn and all. Grrrrrrrrrr! :-{
He should be calling for the Vice President and the Speaker to personally go to Afghanistan for Peace Talks, maybe things will go bad...
Announce we are sending in 2,000 troops to retake Bagram Air Force base (but don’t send any)- let the Taliban send every fighter there, then drop a MOAB on the base
I knew they were going to parley this into a reason as to why we can’t leave Afghanistan any time soon. All deliberate imo.
Lean on some Dems from conservative districts and pass MTG’s articles of impeachment
