The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

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

Reading stories like this makes me glad I stayed in Brooklyn.

If you haven't seen how Cuomo responded to this and to Drumpf's bullshit pandering along the same lines, check it out on CNN, was great, logical cool-as-cuke, not at all angry, perfectly dismissive of Drumpf and "we'll work it out" towards R.I. gov. The talking heads are trying to make drama out of it by picking out phrases but I saw it live and was all no-drama Cuomo. He'd be a great moderator on a website.

I have been checking that out and while I have and have had a lot a problems with his decisions, his responses regarding the State versus Federal responses are really helpful.
This morning, he spoke of States possibly making up for the lack of Federal help by taking matters into their own hands. Maybe they could meet in Philadelphia and form a Union.

Is it legal for the National Guard to obtain information on citizens of the United States?
Isn't this involving the Guard in a domestic law situation?
Where does Posse Comitatus fit in?

It fits in the circular file/graveyard in Bill Barr's office along with the the other laws, violations of which are Federal crimes whose prosecutions are within his corrupt discretion.

Cuomo said straight out it wasn't legal and theoretically he could sue Gov. Raimondo/R.I. and had every confidence he would win. But he didn't seem worried it would come to that, he said they're gonna talk and work it out. As if she's probably got political pandering worries and they''ll work something out. (Note she is a Dem.)
He took a very different stance about Trump's threats, both that they were ridiculous and constituted a civil war situation, but it was more like: Trump doesn't even know what he can do and can't. And pointed out several times that he had just before been on the phone with Trump and that he never mentioned it, though the spent time on even minor things. He was basically cluing the reporters in that it was Trump bullshit for ego and like Fauci often does, he was just going ignore it because it wasn't true, wasn't gonna happen and not worth spending much time thinking about theoreticals right now, time's a wastin'

This is a good point about his recklessness in just throwing bullshit out there without thinking of consequences. That said, I am not sure many in my tri-state region will fall for it, after all NYC is his hometown and they know him best:
Plus a lot of those who couldn't take how it is around NYC and had a place to go already left. I think Cuomo made this point right at the start of management, how many are not full time residents and have other places to go.
