It seems like the Navigation System would be something they test on a plane prior to bringing it to the gate…not something they test right before boarding. 😭

As a matter of law, there is no such thing as "federal immunity." Trump has broad immunity, but public employees enjoy only qualified immunity that does not extend if a "reasonable person" would understand their actions to be illegal. Stephen Miller is not a reasonable person.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Hot take: it’s time for the Democrats to go hard to the center. They’ll lose the most left-leaning but they might just save the U.S. from fascism.
