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

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ryan Grim life in Congress ‘completely transformed’ after Democratic leader stepped down
"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

The point that stood out for me was:
This point goes toward the virus "czar" idea to utilize the Defense Production Act to stop the fight over scarce resources. Now the President says he has appointed such an office with Rear Adm. John Polowczyk in charge. Now the Admiral says the following is holding him back from fulfilling that role:
That makes sense, as far as it goes, but in the context of Konyndyk's observation, it only conceives of the job as a position inside of FEMA by somebody with a good credit card. It still leaves the governors pitted against one another until FEMA builds the capacity to do the job.
Something else is needed to have more control of this allocation process, even if the infrastructure is not immediately replaceable by executive fiat.

In similar news, The Trump Administration Uses Wartime Powers for First Dibs on Supplies, Ahead of States.
In regards to the use of DPA and the kerfuffle with Schumer:
Dr Grover is on point that leaders need to be transparent about their actions. In this and similar reporting, however, it is not clear exactly who these leaders are. Admiral Polowczyk said he wasn't using DPA yet to directly procure. Is that true? And if it is, who else is buying?
And note how Trump throws out the assurance that "we" will drop out immediately of any bidding war. So, he admits "we" are purchasing stuff but acts like it is happening on another world where all of that stuff is not a bidding war by default.
I am going to the backyard now to break things.

Yeah, we are all looking for any tea leaves that can possibly be read. And when we find a possible tea leaf, it would still only be tea leaf reading.
