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

I posted much more here on the Massachusetts/Patriots/China run/Fed interdiction story
Strikes me as a grand cat and mouse game right now and I am not sure who these "Feds" are and whose instructions they are following.
I think it behooves for some journos to really figure out who these Feds are. They might be civil servants following traditional protocol which liberals might traditionally support, or they might be Trumpies or they might be Jared, etc.
Doesn't help the situation for liberals to be arguing they want to see the Federal government choosing who gets what, via National Defense Act so that states aren't competing for each other UNTIL one knows who these Feds are and under whose directions they are under!
Strikes me from what I hear Cuomo say in press conferences that among the smart governors, they've got a little group going and are doing the best they can to ration. I.E., I got the crisis now, send me the stuff and the people, and then we'll pay back in kind once we've had the flattening.
Right now without knowing who is directing the fed actions, betting on my life, I'm going with the smart governors doing a decent job of working these problems out within their little Mafia-like cartel.
I do see irony here, right now this is actually the local governing over Federal governing model traditionally favored by Republicans. Cannot have cake and eat it too. I'm with the governors, particularly the blue state ones for now. So some prices go wack, so what, small price to pay, it's an emergency.

P.S. Note Alaska Gov. happy to help out Massachusetts Gov.! They are working it out, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

It's "Prez who didn't think it'd be bad lowballed orders, now wants to kinda cover ass but still golf and not take control".
Yes, an Executive-based model requires a competent executive. No, we don't have FDR, We have Simon LaGree.

Liz Warren thinks they should do everything, use the DPA AND for testing she's advocating contracting with public and private and she's pushing for ramping up free testing to be a big priority in the next bill
She said some things way back on March 31 already against the Massachusetts seizures by Feds but I don't see any followup and I am still confused about which Fed entity did it and why and under whose direction

Can't trust the Feds, pretty clear here they are the cause of the problem, not the solution. I honestly don't know if this is standard nonpartisan government protocol writ in law or general GOP privatization preference or Trump wack make it up as we go along. But they are distributing national stockpile to for-profit biz middlemen:

Keep in mind, the emergency nature of the problem, no time for courts nor politics.
by artappraiser on Sat, 04/04/2020 - 11:00pm
Once upon a time you might get a stay, but then they (GOP loonies) packed the courts.
