- House Republicans, joined by 10 Democrats, passed a resolution condemning key Biden administration officials for the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

- The vote was 219-194, marking the first major GOP bill on Afghanistan to secure approval.
- Democrats criticized the resolution as political theater, noting it does not address aid for Afghan allies or pathways to citizenship for those relocated to the U.S.
- House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul led the effort, also advancing contempt charges against Secretary of State Antony Blinken for allegedly stonewalling the investigation.
