SourceHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi barely addressed the crisis in Afghanistan this week as the House of Representatives met for a few days to move along some of the Democrats' domestic legislative agenda, then closed up shop as terror threats grew.
With the Senate also out, President Biden left alone at the helm of the government to deal with threats to those trying to leave Afghanistan, including a terror attack Thursday at the Kabul airport that killed at least four U.S. Marines, and wounded at least three others. There was also a firefight and Afghan casualties at the site of the attack outside the Abbey Gate, according to a US official.
But the House of Representatives in its two days in session this week took no votes on Afghanistan-related legislation. The only major votes it took were on a Democrat-backed elections bill and a procedural "rule" that advances Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending plan while scheduling a vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
