HuffPost's live blog covers a Microsoft 365 outage across the Americas on 12 November 2026 and the FAA's nationwide ground stop the next day, lifted shortly after 8 p.m. EST after delaying nearly 10,000 flights and cancelling 5,000. Officials blamed overloaded legacy communications equipment rather than a cyberattack, Sean Duffy largely faulted Congress for outdated gear, Pete Buttigieg demanded answers and transparency, and HuffPost calls Trump's attempt to rename artificial intelligence absurd.
