The White House says the next three days will be the most dangerous of the entire Afghanistan evacuation. Heres where things stand in the desperate final hours of the U.S. withdrawal:
Overnight, the U.S. conducted a drone strike on an ISIS-K target in Afghanistan. According to U.S. Central Command, the attack killed a planner for the group and caused no known civilian casualties. It comes after President JOE BIDEN promised to hunt down anyone responsible for Thursdays suicide bombing at the Kabul airport, which killed 13 U.S. troops and at least 170 civilians. More from NYT Reuters
Approximately 6,800 people were evacuated from Kabul over the 24-hour period ending at 3 a.m. EDT this morning. Per a White House official, 111,900 people have been evacuated since Aug. 14.
Because of continuing threats of a terrorist attack, a security alert from the U.S. Embassy on Friday night advised American citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates, and told those currently there awaiting entry to leave immediately.
HEROES REMEMBERED Though a full list of the Americans killed in Thursdays bombing has not yet been made public, here is what we know so far about those we lost.
RYLEE MCCOLLUM, 20, was on his first overseas deployment. A newlywed soon expecting the birth of his first child, McCollum was born in February 2001 a baby when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. Now, he is among the last casualties of Americas longest war, write NYTs Jack Healy and Dave Philipps.
JARED SCHMITZ, 20. This was something he always wanted to do and [Ive] never seen a young man train as hard as he did to be the best soldier he could be, his father, Mark, told KMOX radio. His life meant so much more. Im so incredibly devastated that I wont be able to see the man that he was very quickly growing into becoming.
DAVID LEE ESPINOZA, 20, was a native of Rio Bravo, Texas. He was my hero, his mother, Elizabeth Holguin, told the Laredo Morning Times. He was just brave enough to go do what he wanted and to help out people. Thats who he was, he was just perfect.
MAXTON SOVIAK, 22. His final words to my wife over FaceTime when he was telling her goodbye was after she told him to be safe and he said, Dont worry mom, my guys got me, they wont let anything happen to me, his father, Kip, told the WSJ in an email. Today, she realized that they all just went together.
KAREEM NIKOUI, 20, loved what he was doing, he always wanted to be a Marine, his father, Steve Nikoui, told The Daily Beast. He really loved that [Marine Corps] family. He was devoted he was going to make a career out of this, and he wanted to go. No hesitation for him to be called to duty.
RYAN KNAUSS, 23, joined the Army out of high school and had already served one deployment to Afghanistan, per the Knoxville News Sentinel. We were led to think that it was 12 Marines and one Navy, and we knew our grandson was in the Army. So we were praying for the families of the Marines, not knowing our grandson was one of the ones who lost his life, his grandmother told The Daily Beast. You just dont think it will be yours.
HUNTER LOPEZ, 22, planned to follow both of his parents into a career in law enforcement after his deployment, according to the Orange County Register. This kid knew since he was 11 what he wanted to do, his uncle wrote on Facebook.
TAYLOR HOOVER, 31. Taylor spent his entire adult life as a Marine, serving. Doing the hard things that most of us cant do. He is a hero, his uncle wrote on Facebook, per the Deseret News. We are wounded. We are bruised. We are angry. We are crushed. but we remain faithful.
DAEGAN WILLIAM-TYELER PAGE, 23, loved hockey and hunting and had a soft spot in his heart for dogs, his family said in a statement. After finishing his enlistment, Daegan planned to come home and go to a local trade school, possibly to become a lineman. Daegan will always be remembered for his tough outer shell and giant heart.

Internet regulations are as outdated as dial-up.
The internet has changed a lot in the last 25 years. That's why Facebook supports updated internet regulations to address today's toughest challenges, including:- Combating foreign election interference- Protecting peoples privacy - Allowing people to safely transfer data between services- Reforming Section 230
TODAYS MARCH ON WASHINGTON Its been exactly 58 years since the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Rev. Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. delivered his I Have a Dream speech. And today, as Biden and his top aides meet in the Situation Room to discuss the crisis in Kabul, thousands of civil rights activists will again march on the National Mall in an effort to bring attention to what they see as a crisis on the homefront: the fight for voting rights.
The demonstrations have two main audiences Biden and moderate senators and one overarching goal: filibuster reform, which many civil rights activists see as the barrier to passing H.R. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which the House passed Tuesday and is expected to stall out in the Senate.
Its the height of hypocrisy to commemorate a day and not deal with the fact that they have diluted a lot of what was achieved that day in terms of voting rights, Rev. AL SHARPTON told me Friday night. You cant take down the Confederate statues and segregationist statues outside of the building and leave the relic of segregationist legislation inside the building.
Among civil rights leaders, theres simmering frustration at both Democratic lawmakers and the White House for taking actions they see as largely symbolically supporting of Black Americans instead of securing advancements through the hard work of legislating.
The biggest gripe for many is that Biden has thrown his full weight behind issues like infrastructure and Afghanistan without giving voting rights the same urgency and attention.
Hes actually gotten troops out of Afghanistan, even though hes taken a political hit, said LATOSHA BROWN, co-founder of Black Voters Matter. When he decides that he wants to do something and he [pushes] the weight around, he does it. I will never say that hes done enough until we actually have voting rights legislation in place.
BIDENS and VP KAMALA HARRIS SATURDAY: The president and VP will meet with their national security team on Afghanistan at 11 a.m. in the Situation Room.

MORE ON AFGHANISTAN
FORGET THAT CLICH No, Afghanistan is not the graveyard of empires, writes Kevin Baker for POLITICO Magazine. Understanding this historical reality is critical to grasping why the United States is unlikely to suffer serious long-term effects from its long and wasteful occupation of Afghanistan or from the bloody, bumbling withdrawal.
THE LOOMING ECONOMIC CRISIS Ahead of Tuesdays deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops, long lines have formed at ATMs in Kabul as the countrys economic woes deepen, reports the AP. The ongoing crisis could give Western nations leverage as they urge Afghanistans new rulers to form a moderate, inclusive government.

THE WHITE HOUSE
YOU GET A RAISE! AND YOU GET A RAISE! On Friday, Biden announced an across-the-board 2.2% pay increase for 2.1 million federal employees in 2022. That, plus a boost in locality pay increases, will amount to an average overall pay raise of 2.7%. More from WaPos Amy Wang and Eric Yoder
CONGRESS
WILD STORY Tucker Carlsons Ugly Feud With Eric Swalwell Has Sucked in Family, by The Daily Beasts Maxwell Tani: Several days before Breitbart News ran a story alleging a sexual affair between Democratic Rep. ERIC SWALWELL and a Chinese spy, the congressmans top aide received an unusual email from a fellow Hill staffer. It was BUCKLEY CARLSON, a communications director for up-and-coming Republican Rep. JIM BANKS and son of TUCKER CARLSON, arguably the most powerful person in right-wing media and one of Swalwells biggest antagonists.
According to Swalwell communications director JESSICA GAIL, Buckley was reeling from the fact that the congressman had just days earlier referenced him in a tweet bashing his Fox News host father. As a consequence, Gail said, Buckley intimated to her that he was working with a news outlet to push a story on an alleged tryst between Swalwell, who is married with children, and a Chinese infiltrator. Several days later, a Breitbart article featuring the allegations received extensive coverage on Tucker Carlsons Fox News primetime program, including a photoshopped graphic of Swalwell in bed with the suspected spy.
The ordeal illustrated not only the way Carlson seemingly uses his massive media powers to attack personal rivals but also how a relatively unremarkable squabble between two political figures has escalated into an ugly personal feud involving the loved ones of both the Fox News host and the Bay Area Democrat.
SCRAMBLING TO FIX THINGS Democrats rush to avert eviction calamity after ban is blocked, by Katy ODonnell: Speaker NANCY PELOSI said the House was considering possible legislative remedies as more than 60 House Democrats demanded that she and Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER work to revive the national eviction moratorium. Top Biden officials also mobilized to try to contain the fallout, with three Cabinet secretaries urging state and local officials to enact their own bans and pause eviction proceedings in court while governors and mayors work to distribute billions of dollars in languishing rental assistance.

CROSS THIS ONE OFF U.S. spy agencies rule out possibility the coronavirus was created as a bioweapon, say origin will stay unknown without Chinas help, by WaPos Ellen Nakashima and Joel Achenbach: The U.S. intelligence community has ruled out the possibility that the novel coronavirus that has killed more than 4 million people globally was developed as a bioweapon by China, but the agencies failed to reach consensus on the virus origin. The report, the result of a 90-day sprint ordered by Biden, also found that the agencies are unlikely to reach a conclusion about the viruss origins without cooperation from the Chinese government, which is unlikely, according to a summary of the takeaways released Friday.

DESANTIS IN DE HOT SEAT Florida starts turning on DeSantis, by Matt Dixon: Covid infection rates continue to climb as [Florida] faces shortages of health care staff, morgue space and even oxygen for patients.

Theres no question its impacting him politically, said a Republican consultant who has previously worked with DeSantis and requested anonymity to speak freely. You can tout all the freedom and anti-lockdown that you want. Theres no political strategy for sick kids and tired parents.
THE AUDITS ROLL ON Wisconsin Republicans seek $680,000 for 2020 election probe, by APs Scott Bauer: The Assembly Organization Committee, controlled by Republicans, circulated a ballot on Friday to approve designating former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice MICHAEL GABLEMAN as special counsel to lead the investigation, assist the Assembly Elections Committee and hire investigators and others as needed.
The expenses were not specified, but Republican Assembly Speaker ROBIN VOS, who ordered the probe, said in an interview that the contract with Gableman will be for up to $680,000 for the entire investigation. The committee will vote on the spending by Monday without holding a public hearing.

GAVIN NEWSOM The parole hearing was the 16th time Mr. Sirhan had faced parole board commissioners, but it was the first time no prosecutor showed up to argue for his continued imprisonment.
JAN. 6 AND ITS AFTERMATH
THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING Jan. 6 investigators demand records from social media companies, by Nicholas Wu: In a series of letters dated Aug. 26, the Democratic-controlled panel asked the companies, which include Facebook, Google, Twitter, Parler, 4chan, Twitch and TikTok, for all records and documents since April 1, 2020, relating to misinformation around the 2020 election, efforts to overturn the 2020 election, domestic violent extremists associated with efforts to overturn the election and foreign influence in the 2020 election.
The panel is asking all of the companies to explain whether their algorithms helped spread misinformation and account for what they did to address or remove content or posts that might have spread falsehoods about the riot. It also requests information on the companies' communications with law enforcement regarding Jan. 6 and the election, as well as on their reporting practices. The committees chair, Rep. BENNIE THOMPSON (D-Miss.), gave the companies a two-week deadline to respond.

Why Facebook supports updated internet privacy regulationsand how were already making progress
Protecting privacy means something different than it did 25 years agothe last time comprehensive internet regulations were passed. We need updated rules to address problems on the internet that didnt exist in the 90s.
But Facebook is not waiting around. Weve already introduced tools like Privacy Checkup that help people take control of their information. Now we need updated privacy regulations that will set more consistent data protection standards.
