带走里克·克莱因
目标是让所有美国人离开阿富汗他们想在一周内离开——不确定目前有多少人在那里。
目标也是遵守总统的最后期限乔·拜登他自己确定了——塔利班现在坚持日期不变。
和图像一样糟糕现实就在现场上周，下周可能会更多损害美国利益以及对拜登领导能力的看法。已经很艰难了:拜登迄今为止的决定引发了第二种猜测，即他自己的党内近乎彻底的叛乱。
总统可能不会得到多少信任，即使是相当令人印象深刻的统计数据，比如已经发生了多少次疏散，或者疏散速度如何以及将如何加快。接下来会发生什么让美国人和背景调查过的阿富汗人安全地离开，并在此过程中维护美国的利益，将会产生更大的影响。
这使得接下来的七天充满了变数不受总统控制。拜登政府将需要高效的物流官僚运作以及合作和伙伴关系，是的，塔利班-够了问号拜登呼吁“应急计划”，这可能会使他8月31日的最后期限提前。
拜登周二表示:“我决心确保完成这项任务。
奥巴马总统承认，美军在阿富汗驻扎的时间越长，恐怖袭击的风险就越大。尽管如此，拜登最终还是承认了撤军，这是他的政治朋友和敌人已经意识到的。

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯正在处理一大堆案件敌对的疫苗授权，即使他支持获取疫苗本身。
但是根据一份报告投票来自昆尼皮亚克大学周二发布的数据显示，佛罗里达州62%的成年人支持疫苗授权对于卫生保健工作者;这包括45%的共和党人和92%的民主党人。佛罗里达州60%的成年人支持教师授权，包括43%的共和党人和89%的民主党人。
与此同时，一些反对疫苗授权的政客可能正在改变目标醒来时食品药品监督管理局的完全赞同辉瑞新冠肺炎疫苗。
威斯康星州参议员罗恩·约翰逊书写周日，他认为“没有必要为三种新冠肺炎疫苗中的任何一种匆忙通过美国食品和药物管理局的批准程序。加快这一进程似乎只服务于强加和执行疫苗授权的政治目的。”
约翰逊先前说他支持“扭曲速度行动”(Operation Warp Speed)，这是一个联邦项目，在特朗普政府时期促进了疫苗的快速开发——尽管他也直言疫苗的副作用。
Afghanistan could get worse for Biden as deadline softens: The Note
The TAKE withRick Klein
The goal is to get all Americans out ofAfghanistanwho want out inside a week -- without knowing for certain how many are currently there.
The goal is also to keep to a deadline that PresidentJoe Bidenhimself set -- with the Taliban now insisting that the date not change.
As bad as the images andrealities were on the groundlast week, the next week could be even moredamaging to American interestsand to perceptions of Biden's leadership. It's already been rough: Biden's decisions to date have brought out second guessing that borders on outright rebellion inside his own party.
The president will probably get little credit for even quite impressive statistics about how many evacuations have already taken place or how the pace can and will be picked up.What happens next-- getting Americans and background-checked Afghans out securely and safely, and safeguarding American interests along the way -- will be far more consequential.
That leaves the next seven days filled with variablesout of the president's control. The Biden administration will needefficient logisticaland bureaucratic functioning as well as the cooperation and partnership of, yes, the Taliban -- enoughquestion marksthat Biden is calling for "contingency plans" that could make his Aug. 31 deadline slide.
"I'm determined to ensure the completion of this mission," Biden said Tuesday.
The president acknowledged that risks of terrorist attacks grow the longer U.S. troops are stationed in Afghanistan. It's a withdrawal Biden owns, though, to its end -- something his political friends and foes are already aware of.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul laid out her priorities inher first speechas the leader of the Empire State Tuesday
Hochul told New Yorkers in virtual remarks thather focus will beon combatting the delta variant ofCOVID-19, getting pandemic-related aid to state residents more quickly, and changing the culture of Albany are at the top of her to do list.
She announced plans to require vaccines for education workers with an option to test weekly, to launch a back-to-school testing initiative as students prepare to return to the classroom and to coordinate vaccination boosters for state residents eight months after their second shot. She is also pushing for rental relief to be distributed faster to keep struggling New Yorkers in their homes, after a court decision last week opened the door for many eviction cases to proceed.
Hochul has alsopromised a clean sweepin Albany. She's starting with a plan aimed to address sexual harassment, a clear nod to how she ascended to her roleafter the resignationof former Gov.Andrew Cuomo.
"I'm directing an overhaul of state government policies on sexual harassment and ethics. Starting with requiring that all training be done live instead of allowing people to click their way through a class," she said.
Hochul has spoken to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, adirect contrast to her predecessorwho had an icy relationship with the leader of the nation's largest city. She's also spoken with the president. Hochul is just beginning her more than a year-long tryout for the office she plans to run for in 2022.
The TIP withOren Oppenheim
As his state deals with a heavy case load, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasopposedvaccine mandates, even though hehas endorsed gettingthe vaccine itself.
But according to apollfrom Quinnipiac University released on Tuesday, 62% of adults in Florida supportvaccine mandatesfor health care workers; that includes 45% of Republicans and 92% of Democrats. Sixty percent of adults in Florida support mandates for teachers, including 43% of Republicans and 89% of Democrats.
Meanwhile some politicians opposing vaccine mandates may be moving the goalpostsin the wakeof the Food and Drug Administration'sfull approval ofthe Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
Wisconsin's Sen. Ron Johnsonwroteon Sunday that he sees "no need to rush the FDA approval process for any of the three COVID-19 vaccines. Expediting the process appears to only serve the political purpose of imposing and enforcing vaccine mandates."
Johnson previouslysaidthat he supported Operation Warp Speed, the federal program that facilitated the rapid vaccine development under the Trump administration -- although he has also been vocal about vaccine side effects.
