"With less than two weeks until Election Day, it looks as if the fundamentals — an unpopular president, deep frustration with the status quo, and stubborn inflation — are ultimately going to define this midterm."

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

Actions to take:

- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

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

^ in case it doesn't come across clear tor everyone: Carville is saying that Dem talking points should now be: abortion and social security/medicare and shutting down the government. Precisely BECAUSE THEY FUCKED UP ON CRIME, can't do crime, it's too late, no one will believe you! Since nothing was done about the crime meme, the GOP has won crime, move on to these others. He even adds Biden doing this as an example:

Also, he has two interesting examples of Obama-Trump voters:
finally, this is a striking quote from the beginning of the article from the union guy working for Dems:

Mho, I tried to be openminded about Abrams but all I have seen is a lousy candidate and am at a loss to fathom what all the brouhaha about her is about. It's like she's playing a 'you go girl' character on a crummy made-for-BET romance movie, where she only relates to black women and is clueless about any other race or gender, almost a caricature.

great point:
lots of voters don't take these kind of threats from the other side seriously - there's incredibly powerful lobbies and other entities that just won't let it happen - those using it as a campaign cudgel are just seen as being insincerely hyperbolic and treating voters like dummies. So saying "it's real, folks" is probably really counterproductive!

Destroying Twitter's brand, its openness? Yeah, I've got a problem with that.

Despite some crap service management at times, overall Twitter's been quite useful for politics.
