President Joe Biden’s team faces new congressional pressure to provide a detailed plan to assist Americans and U.S. partners stranded in Afghanistan after U.S. officials ended the evacuation operation at Kabul airport last week.

Ami Bera and House Administration Chair Zoe Lofgren, a pair of California Democrats, wrote in a letter also signed by House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler of New York....

...That question is one of more than a dozen the senior Democrats, joined by 12 other lawmakers, want to be answered. ...

....“We don’t have the means to verify the accuracy of manifests, the identity of passengers on board these planes, aviation security protocols, or where they plan to land, among other issues,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday while traveling in Qatar.

If you’re an American stuck in Afghanistan don’t expect any help from Joe. He can’t be bothered with your abandonment when he’s prepping for 9/11 photo ops bragging about how he ended the war in Afghanistan.
