It was always going to be about the virus. Latest @CNN exit polls show that Georgia voters are more concerned about containing the virus than economy. Many have experienced financial hardship and the majority are worried that they/family members will contract the virus. pic.twitter.com/KtYwC49zAh

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

Location: U.S. Embassy and residential compounds
Events: Heavy gunfire is occuring around the area of the U.S. Embassy and residential compounds adjacent to the Trutier area of Tabarre. All Embassy personnel have been instructed to remain indoors and shelter-in-place until further notice. All others should avoid the area.
Actions to take:
- Avoid the area;
- 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

Watching MSNBC TV live and it's a real nail biter, with last bundles of votes coming in every few minutes. Rachel Maddow just said "whoo" like she needs a breath. Steve Kornacki is having a hard time keeping up with each incoming and how it changes probabilities. Brian Williams takes the opportunity to explain that the NBC decision to call is not theirs but an independent "desk" of people from anchorpersons and reporters.
edit to add: they came back from commercial to announce the "decision desk" has labeled both races "too close to call". second edit to correct Rachel's last name.

I am superstitious in a sense about irony. Real close elections are obviously the easiest to steal. Imagine if the Rs won both by half a percent and real live indications of computer manipulation of the count became evident.

NBC news just now formally projected victory for Warnock.
Lawrence O'Donnel on MSNBC also said a few minutes ago that the Ossof campaign had put out a sort of putative victory statement, here it is:
Yes, it does look like we are going to have a 50/50 Senate and a Senate Majority Leader Schumer, because the new VP is also a Democrat.
That will be after a lot of challenges and recounts and similar nonsense and delay of course....

(and skipping #2 to place a non- Senate approved appointee is likely illegal - at least it is for most of his "Acting" cabinet positions. But justice and regulations don't work for the next 10 days)

2004: why Dems challenged Ohio
(so the lesson of 2020 is not "never complain", only "complain when there's proof or reasonable cause to investigate/recount", noting that in 2016 recounts weren't done offhand, so PA/MI/WI remain mysteries, unlike the many recounts in 2020. And even why speculation about voting machines shouldn't be taken too far, but should be followed up with audits and real system checks)
