Instant messages between two high-level Boeing employees in 2016 indicate the company was aware of major problems with an automated feature on the 737 Max jet that has been implicated in two deadly crashes.
The messages, between two top pilots, were about an automated feature known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that investigators say repeatedly – and in error – forced down the noses of planes that crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia, killing 346 people.
In the messages, Mark Forkner, then chief technical pilot for Boeing’s 737, wrote to technical pilot Patrik Gustavsson that the MCAS was engaging “itself like craxy,” calling the problem “egregious.”

Liberal comedian and commentator Bill Maher offered President Trump $1 million to resign during his show Friday night.
“Just take my check for $1 million,” Maher, a long-standing Trump critic, said on HBO’s “Real Time.”

Former 2016 Green Party presidential Jill Stein pushed back forcefully against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s suggestion that Stein and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) are Russian assets Saturday on CNN.

On a podcast Thursday, Clinton called Stein a “Russian asset.” The former first lady and New York Senator also said that one of the 2020 Democratic candidates was the “favorite of the Russians” to win the 2020 election.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threw her support behind Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday as the Democratic presidential hopeful made his return to the campaign trail following a heart attack earlier this month.
Ocasio-Cortez, a rising progressive star with a huge social media following, cited Sanders as an inspiration for her own decision to get into politics and tied her progressive goals to the 78-year-old Vermont senator.
“It wasn’t until I heard of a man by the name of Bernie Sanders that I began to question and assert and recognize my inherent value as a human being that deserves health care, housing, education and a living wage,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a rally with Sanders in the New York City borough of Queens.
