Original indication of a list came here:
The White House contends that limited information sharing with the Taliban is saving lives; critics argue it's putting Afghan allies in harm's way.

But it was from one of those "anonymous sources". Then came this:
After seven hours of waiting for clearance to enter the airport gates, the group met a dead end: Evacuations were permanently called off.

That was supposedly about students/family members from American University of Afghanistan who were turned away from the gates at kabul airport. But it seems that initial reports weren't entirely correct and that information was only shared with the U.S. military, not the Taliban:
There is no full denial though.
Some information, in
certain circumstances, indicates that some information was shared, ie
“There have been occasions when our military has contacted their military counterparts in the Taliban and said … for example, ‘This bus is coming through with X number of people on it, made up of the following group of people. We want you to let that bus or that group through,' ” Biden said. “So, yes, there have been occasions like that.” But Biden added that “I can’t tell you with any certitude that there’s actually been a list of names. … It could very well have happened.” White House National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne added in a comment to Politico that “in limited cases we have shared information with the Taliban that has successfully facilitated evacuations from Kabul."

“What I can say is that the idea that we are providing names or personally identifiable information to the Taliban in a way that exposes anyone to additional risk — that is simply wrong,” Price said, repeating much the same phrasing later. . . . By Sunday, though, the administration became more explicit in its pushback. . . .“We’ve actually aggressively and decisively disputed that report,” Sullivan said. “We were giving no list of all of the American [Special Immigrant Visa] holders to the Taliban or any other kind of big list.” What the administration actually seemed to dispute before then, though, wasn’t the substance of the report, but rather the idea that the list was large or that the claims in it from some critics that this constituted some kind of “kill list.” . . . .Sullivan then walked closer to a full denial, stating that “some idea that we’re handing over databases or lists to the Taliban is simply unfounded and inaccurate.” . . .“The idea that we shared lists of Americans or others with the Taliban is simply wrong,” Blinken said flatly. But then Blinken appeared to acknowledge the same thing the others have acknowledged: that some names were shared as part of the evacuation process
None of which backs up
@redbeer 's claim that the Taliban are driving around in humvees and executing "Americans and Afghans who helped us in the war", in broad daylight or otherwise.
