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

^ what was that complaint again about CNN trying to court more of a right-of-center audience? that it's a bad thing?

Apparently Dana Bash was all into "messaging" or some other weak tea the day after Jan6 insurrection.
Maybe she's getting harder, or just had a good day. In any case, keep it up.
Marcy Wheeler's fighting against people just echoing & amplifying Trump rather than figuring out how to highlight his lies and counter his messaging & spin. Lots of reporters think they're reporting, but they're just playing into his game anyway. Same goes for much of the GOP messaging - absurd, but gets promoted & air time, even as more important stuff gets put on the backburner.

De Santis hard at work - when not dragging refugees off to Martha's Vineyard, delaying evacuation til the last minute on natural crises. Remember all the press time given to Al Gore's slight misstatement over FEMA? I'm sure they won't hold De Santis to near that standard. Guess I'm bitter....

a valid point to think about:
at the same time, there's so many easy comebacks, i.e., how much help from the Feds aided victims of forest fires in northern California?
In the end, the question is: Are natural disaster victims really satisfied with the help they get from Federal sources? Is it the best way this should be done?

Proof IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A ZERO-SUM GAME:
I saw this my very self live on CNN teevee earlier today. Not click producing tho
Ditto:
Not only that, I have seen "liberal media" earlier try to imply that DeSantis purposely didn't give evacuation orders in certain areas in enough time and what I think of that is: BULLSHIT. I saw more than one of DeSantis' press conferences during the crisis live and his caring and professionalism came across very strong.
It became ever clearer that his culture warring shit is targeted at a national audience to "own the libs.". Those of you buying it and getting all outraged are being USED. Basically: every liberal and lefty attack on him helps him, he sets his sight on exactly that, never aggravating most Floridians.
For the umpteenth time: if the Democratic party wants to win swing areas like Florida, they have to disavow The Woke left, as they take the bait from GOP figures to reveal themselves on culture wars. And the center wants nothing to do with their views, doesn't want to see them coddled, want to see them disavowed.

p.s. what I saw of Biden's official remarks in FL, they were EXCELLENT. Seriously the best I've ever seen from a president during a major disaster. Importantly stressing his own role of breaking through the Federal bureaucracy and getting aid moving, seeing what he could do about insurance law, etc.
