@crankyflier.com does this seem accurate to you? I think you guys have similar politics and you know the industry.
New article from me. I'm very proud of this one—it took dozens of interviews and extensive trawling of the historical record. It should provide everything people need to know about the FAA's hiring scandal and the people who fought to bring it to light.

Today, after a tragic plane crash yesterday, members of the Trump admin mentioned that they are working to resolve this scandal.
I don't care to connect this to the tragedy, but I'm grateful they're taking action on this. It's years overdue.

A liberal will blame cuts to agencies that don't deal with air traffic. A conservative will zero in on an airline poster with black people on it. Trump will tweet something in all caps. There will be five competing conspiracy theories. OK? Now you don't have to check your social media feeds today.

The 2012 GOP "inquest" was willfully blind on same point. GOP donors demanded no retreat on anti-Obamacare radicalism, so deluded themselves that voters would forgive loss of health insurance if they got more immigration instead.

Here's a little tale in several skeets of the right-wing social media ecosystem and a topic I follow closely, noncitizen voting. It starts with an Election Day FB post from a conservative staffer in Washington, D.C. who's from Australia and not a U.S. citizen. It's gotten 260 shares. /1
