Washington (CNN)The State Department informed congressional staff Thursday that it is in touch with 363 US citizens in Afghanistan, 176 of whom want to leave, two sources familiar with the call told CNN.

Joe got us out where the previous president failed. Deal with it.
President Biden, you have my vote in 2024.
"Joe got us out..." Well, maybe some of us out. Good enough for your vote, eh 8:57?
I'm so happy you live in a country where you can vote and expose your silliness.
400 + greencard holders = thousands.
Psaki is living up to her name as the Mouth of Biden.
Joe got us out ehh? Got your vote in 2024 you say? Good ol Joe won't be alive then. And Kamala is going to put us all in the poor house. Do you have a death wish? If you do that's fine just keep the rest of us out of it.
And nobody tries to ride a dead like you do.
