If you’re looking for the truth, here it is. Pete Buttigieg explains what his team did when the system went down and gives credit to the career staff doing that work today. Worth hearing in his own words.

Amtrak has now confirmed reports of outgoing outages on both its website and app, likely the result of higher than usual web traffic caused by the nationwide ground stop in the US.
The nationwide ground stop is canceled, according to the F.A.A.
The Salt Lake Tribune's Abigail Landwehr reports on the ground stop from Chicago (because she is currently stuck in Chicago). https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/11/13/salt-lake-city-international/
I’m honestly more inclined to believe this was something malicious… who tf pushes an update right as people are starting to travel for the weekend? 4 pm Friday is about the worst time to possibly update anything ever
My flight has been officially canceled,!! Booked a new flight for tomorrow. Come on Father,,, let me get to LA for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. It’s my favorite event of the year!!

CNN’s Pete Muntean: I'm also hearing from a pilot friend who's in the air right now who says that this large scale radio frequency outage has caused pilots to resort to the emergency frequency that pilots use as a last resort
In answer to the question "What could Hillary do to make me love her more?" see below.

1/2 CBS’s own page now carries a report from a local affiliate that an update to the private network linking air traffic control forced a reboot, and the FAA’s telecommunications infrastructure crashed when it restarted. The FAA still has not publicly confirmed this.
We shouldn’t wait until January to get things done, when there is a bipartisan opportunity to create jobs in this country right now. President Trump and I agree: it's time for Congress to pass a federal film tax incentive. Let's get this done!

We’ve been quietly attacking Iran off and on for the last couple of weeks. Iran targeted Bahrain again yesterday. Now this. It’s gonna keep getting dumber.
A nationwide ground stop? The hell? Has that ever happened other than 9/11?

in light of Jensen Huang losing his company... here are ten hobbies Middle Aged men should consider instead of the wives of other men and Chinese spies
Multiple reports stated that when Trump received his second briefing about Jensen Huang's affair with a Chinese spy, he did nothing. Turns out that is not true. Trump dumped a HUGE stake in NVIDIA stock. He didn't warn Huang. He didn't order investigations into national security risks.
