Reading @DLind’s overview of the Nielsen Era at DHS and her ouster, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Trump fired her because he’s looking for someone who’ll not just be hardline but actually break the law. https://t.co/jYyLoCptrA

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

Actions to take:
- Avoid the area;
- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

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

This is why it would have been useful for the press to report what kind of company Trump Inc was instead of implying it was some massive corporation like Chrysler or Bear Stearns - it's like 5 people in a box spinning deals. And that's what our government has devolved into - the acting Secretary of State, Defense and Some Other Stuff did this today, the acting Secretary of Treasury, Homeland Defense and Building the Wall did the other stuff, while the Secretary of Pissing Offf Schools is out at a conference pissing off schools.

Senator Ron Johnson-R (Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee & the Subcommittee on Europe & Regional Security Cooperation) does an "don't worry, we're in charge here" kinda Al Haig impersonation
Laura Rozen and friend speculate this is the evil Stephen Miller stoking chaos with the Trumpian brain:
And I see Eric Lutz at Vanity Fair's The Hive is already on that meme:
WITH NIELSEN OUT, STEPHEN MILLER IS POISED TO REMAKE D.H.S. IN HIS IMAGE
Miller has waged a covert war of influence to weed out administration officials he believes are too soft on immigration.
Whatever he's planning, won't fly with the GOP Senators up for re-election. Nor the judiciary. Nor even the military who are already known to have kvetched a lot about being sent to the border.

Fascinating, Lutz @ Vanity Fair predicted a Miller vs. Jared power struggle over immigration last week (I always suspected Vanity Fair got lots of their leaks from Jvanka and that they were strategic leaks. Don't forget Jared used to own The Observer which was always known as leak central even before he owned it.) The amping up of legal immigration temp worker visas, that was Jared:
STEPHEN MILLER’S POWER OVER TRUMP IS ABOUT TO BE TESTED
Jared Kushner is taking over efforts to increase legal immigration, putting him on a collision course with the West Wing’s most hardline anti-immigration extremist.

Mar-a-Lago Chinese hack feed - follow Shimon - yes this is tied to the brothels and lay-for-access and Trump is playing "shoot the messenger" reather than investigate a whacko security problem.

I was thinking that if the NYPost puts it on the cover, surely Fox News won't ignore the story:
