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

Progressives are right to vote against giving Trump more money.
There is zero evidence he will do anything but more of the same with it. He has not followed one court order, one law, or even allowed doctors or lawyers into the concentration camps. He'll use the money for whatever he wants to, and neither Congress nor the courts could stop him without years of litigation. The GOP base loves the cruelty.
for instance - the children told us that nobody’s taking care of them, so that basically the older children are trying to take care of the younger children. The guards are asking the younger children or the older children, ‘Who wants to take care of this little boy? Who wants to take [care] of this little girl?’ and they’ll bring in a two-year-old, a three-year-old, a four-year-old. And then the littlest kids are expected to be taken care of by the older kids...

Democrats should sweeten the Bill by adding a provision to make Trump's birthday a national holiday, MAGA Day.
Dare Mitch McConnell to not bring it up for a vote.

Game changer: Senate passed their own bill with huge majority, 84 to 8, so any stink the House might make about this that or the other thing should be different can easily be labeled as obstructionist. They've really no option now except trying to bargain in what they want changed:
