The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

Glad to see this. Back before Obamacare was passed I remember many discussions where I was made out the party pooping bogeyman for saying things like Obamacare was not gonna be manna from heaven and Medicare for all unchanged might fuel some major money-driven medicine problems....
That said, more and more I think many providers may be past a breaking point where they don't fuckin care what people understand or what they don't and just want somebody to DO SOMETHING DO FUCKING SOMETHING., ANYTHING, OR WE ARE MOVING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
So I wasn't surprised to see this the other day:

Oh BTW, since I just looked it up for a friend who's wife is having serious heart surgery and who has just plain vanilla Medicare without supplemental, Medicare.gov finally put up a nice clear page outlining what seniors currently get and how much it costs, after a lifetime of paying in, I might add:
https://www.medicare.gov/your-medicare-costs/medicare-costs-at-a-glance
Of particular interest to this friend was the $1,364 deductible you have to kick in for hospitalization per year, and should things go bad, the $341 per day you have to kick in past day 60 and the $682 per day after day 90.
There's useful info. on how much they charge people who haven't paid in enough to get the full (free) subsidy on inpatient hospitalization coverage as per above: If you paid Medicare taxes for less than 30 quarters, the standard Part A premium is $437 per month.
Part B, doctors other providers and equipment: $135.50 per month premium minimum, or more, sliding scale based on income. Deductible of $185 per year, and 20% of everything after that.
That's without prescription drugs, the plans vary and are complex, you have to click through. She doesn't have one, no coverage.
Easy to see how some seniors getting like $1,500 a month in Social Security are going bankrupt....
