President Biden delivers remarks on Afghanistan withdrawal. msnbc.com/live
"We completed one of the biggest airlifts with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety," President Biden says.
"No nation has ever done anything like it in all of history."
"The bottom line: 90% of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave," President Biden says.
"For those remaining Americans, there is no deadline. We remain committed to get them out if they want to come out."
"I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit," President Biden says on the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"To ISIS-K, we are not done with you yet," President Biden says. "I firmly believe the best path to guard our safety and our security lies in a tough, unforgiving, targeted, precise strategy that goes after terror where it is today. Not where it was two decades ago."

With both Hunter Biden and John Durham, Republicans had dreams of the DOJ being an attack dog against their political enemies. And both dreams have gone up in flames, @_Jahan writes. msnbc.com/the-reidout/re…
@MSNBC @_Jahan They’re just getting started tbh
-Fake Electors given immunity including planners
-USSS Agents testified to J6 Jury
-McCarthy floating Garland Impeachment
-MTG trying to decapitate ATF
-DOCUMENTS CASE HAS THEM TERRIFIED OF TRUMP FLIPPING FOR A DEAL
-Rudy scared
-Putin turmoils
@MSNBC @_Jahan The GOP is trying to get Independent State Legislature off the ground. They don’t want strong states, just strong fiefdoms for themselves and their adherents. Beheading federal enforcement agencies while holding up their replacements is pregame for gathering forces. Coup again?
Many would argue you disqualified yourself from the presidency on Jan. 6, 2021, when you incited a mob you knew was armed to march on Congress and “fight like hell.”
Why didn’t you condemn the rioters? And why did your own son have to beg you to do it?
With the criminal convictions of five Proud Boys, a third jury has ruled that Jan. 6 was an organized, violent uprising meant to overturn the 2020 election. (1/4) msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
Even a single guilty verdict for seditious conspiracy is rare.
In less than half a year, juries have found 10 people in total guilty of the crime in relation to Jan. 6. (2/4)
In courtrooms, it’s now established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was not spontaneous, but rather a planned assault by force on our democracy. (3/4)

Meta announced this week that it’s overhauling its system for giving out verification badges on Facebook and Instagram. Now, blue check marks can be bought by anyone for the price of $11.99 per month for web, or $14.99 for mobile. (1/7) msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
It’s likely Mark Zuckerberg was inspired to unveil the plan after seeing Twitter’s Elon Musk make a similar move a few months ago when he rolled out Twitter Blue subscriptions, @ZeeshanAleem writes. (2/7) msnbc.com/the-mehdi-hasa…
.@ZeeshanAleem: Making verification badges available for a monthly rate transforms their meaning. Verification will no longer serve as a tool to identify credibility, but can now be weaponized to do the opposite, allowing bad actors to peddle misinformation with clout (3/7)
