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

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

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"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

It doesn't matter what the house passes. The last gun bill after Sandy Hook got 54 votes in the senate and failed because it couldn't get to 60. Yay for the filibuster

note as per the Senator from CT upthread, seems like the goal may be to finally be able put it to a vote to get them on the record, that Mitch refused House bills for 5 years. So now they will have to vote on it for the record.

This is just a shrug, let's not talk about it, because: it's all policing's fault? Let's not have that stop n' frisk argument again about illegal guns allover the big cities...

seems to me there's a lot of public place shootings going on that national news doesn't pay any attention to anymore:
I run across local news covering shit like that every couple of days. Use to be a big deal that freaked everyone out.

I'm getting the idea that some Dems/leftists are returning to their overreach posture (rumors of $10 trillion in woke spending?). Hoping the adults hold sway.
