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

Guliani & "independent DoJ"?
Where has Andrew been these last 4 years?
The Attorneys *was* Trump's personal lawyer.
Or at least that's how he behaved.

I like the spread of the hands, like feeling the surface of a large inflated ball.
It is curious how the last four years never happened and has no bearing upon the present state of affairs. The previous administration only rented a studio apartment and had very little effect upon the building as a whole.

Not just any judge - Amy Berman Jackson presiding over Rick Gates, Alex van der Zwaan, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, with the latter two overtly lying to her and Stone putting crossbars on her photo (which Barr refused to prosecute) - and then Trump pardoned the latter 2 (after Trump commuted Stone's previous sentence and fine). Guess they all thought this presidency would slip away and they'd go off to retirement. Hoping Jackson gets the last laugh. Note that Jan 6 likely isn't covered (pardon was 23 Dec, and Roger was quite busy after), and Manafort has a rather limited immunity in his pardon.
