His unit mate said Lakanwal sought help in June from a CIA program designed to aid Zero Unit veterans with immigration issues. Rolling Stone reviewed a screenshot of the group chat in June where Zero Unit veterans shared information with a CIA representative about ongoing issues. Lakanwal posted messages asking for help. His last post went unanswered and was deleted by the chat’s administrator. Rolling Stone called the CIA representative in the text chat, who claimed it was a wrong number. A request for comment from the CIA was not returned. Lakanwal, according to an Associated Press report and confirmed by his unit mate, would swing from “long, dark stretches of isolation,” sometimes going weeks without speaking even to his family to “manic” episodes, during which he would take off on sudden, weeks-long cross-country drives, traveling to places like Chicago or Arizona.

The Afghan Zero Unit community is tight-knit. At one point, during a trip to Texas last year, I watched as a group of veterans took over a shisha restaurant with more than 20 sitting at one table, laughing and smoking. Bonded by combat and the pain of losing their country, they are part of a lost generation of Afghans who believed America’s promise of democracy and sacrificed everything for it. But most of all Zero Unit veterans were heartbroken by Ratcliffe’s comments that they should never have been allowed to come to the United States because after fighting shoulder to shoulder with the CIA for almost 20 years, they are the next sacrifice on the altar of expediency. The only certainty in U.S. foreign policy from the last helicopter out of Saigon in 1975 to the Kurds after the Gulf War in 1991 to the 2020 Doha Accords and the Afghan evacuation in 2021, is that American loyalty comes with an expiration date.

Come for the description of Rahmanullah Lakanwa
feeling abandoned by the CIA.

Stay for the description of the entire group feeling abandoned by John Ratcliffe's attempt to disown the murder.

Fired US Immigration judge Tania Nemer files federal civil suit against Atty Gen Pam Bondi alleging sex discrimination

Suit: "According to the final agency decision, the President may now fire female federal workers like Ms. Nemer—because of their sex—and the law would have nothing to say about it"

NEWS: A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Alina Habba is disqualified from serving as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey — calling her appointment unlawful and void. The 3rd Circuit panel upheld a prior decision that her tenure violated federal appointment law.

I agree 100%. We need to hold Trump and his administration to account.

Dear Senator Cassidy,

“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.

Best,

Your Former Congressional Colleague

Congrats for getting scammed by the First Family.

Amazing headline.

Exactly. Talarico has a better chance in Texas.

Priorities from the dude pretending to be president. 🙄

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

Canadian TV show mocks Donald Trump.

Go Chuck!

#GVerse The man who shoot those two West Virginia National Guard in DC was working with the CIA. He was vetted by #Shit4Brain's administration. #Shitface is lying about everything.

Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Biden had nothing to do with this. It is deliberate sabotage. Grifters have stolen billions and plan to crash our systems forever. Project 2025 spelled out every damn page. Wake up and push back. Unite. Peaceful but LOUD.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Because Trump watches TV all day

How did this guy and a drug kingpin buy their pardons from Trump? This is our-in-the-open corruption, and Republicans are accepting it.

Real photo.

‘An Example MUST BE SET’ The pursuit of Mark Kelly in the military-justice system sends a clear message to service members and veterans.

Sen. Mark Kelly: “I’m not backing down. I’m not shutting up. If somebody in my situation was to do that, what is the message that sends to not only service members but government employees?How about to just U.S. citizens about what our First Amendment rights are?”

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

I wouldn’t buy anything with his family name on it.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
