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

Ladies, gents and others:
This is a done deal, the country is going to deficit spend $1 trillion more, we just don't know much about what they are going to spend it on yet.
On top of already starting payments to end child poverty as we know it, and all the extensions on unemployment payments, PPP loans, subsidies, etc.
All of this WAY WAY BIGGER THAN "THE NEW DEAL" A BIG DEAL.
But online political people are mostly trolls ignoring all the stunning reality for purposely distracting delusional culture wars between The Woke and Qanon and the merits or not of various delusions about Trump....

By Aatish Bhatia and Quoctrung Bui @ NYTmes.com/Upshot, August 10
Comparing Biden's original March proposal of $2,600 billion and the passed Bipartisan plan of $550 billion
with lots of the cut stuff shifted to the $3.5 trillion budget proposal which Democrats intend to pass later this year through a process known as budget reconciliation, which requires fewer votes.
Even though a quarter of Biden's original proposal, this bill alone
article itself has lots of links!
