As Twitchy reported just a couple of hours ago, the State Department was telling U.S. citizens stranded (sorry, Jen Psaki) in Afghanistan to wait for an email, as the situation in Kabul was changing quickly and the government could not ensure safe passage to the airport.
That was at 2 p.m.; now, at 7 p.m., the State Department is telling U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport due to threats. Not only that, but those already at three gates are advised to leave immediately.
Travel - State Dept ~ #Afghanistan: Due to threats outside the Kabul airport, US citizens should avoid traveling to the airport and avoid airport gates unless you receive instructions to do so. Those at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.

Ben Shapiro ~ All part of this brilliantly thought-through plan.
Katie Pavlich ~ Everything is fine.
Gooners Never Say Die ~ Ok
Leigh ~ But at least no one is stranded!
Andy McCarthy ~ To say nothing of the fact that the Taliban have been cutting the communications lines for days in provinces they control (most of them), so how are you to "receive instructions" ...
RevRamsey ~ This President told them everything was fine!
Erin Schrantz ~ If they want to leave they can! That’s what @PressSec said!
Albert ~ Leave immediately and wait for a text message from Jen Psaki.

Anthony ~ Be ready for the worst possible scenario, I don't want to even think about it.
Is ISIS-K moving in on the airport for a firefight?
JP ~ Thankful the adults are finally in charge.
RJDolson ~ It’s just mind-boggling.
M.J. ~ Every contingency was prepared for.
Paul Karesa ~ Man, wouldn’t it be nice if the greatest military in world history had a presence nearby to deal with this threat.
This alert applies only to those people who wanted to leave; the administration is careful to make that distinction.
