Robert B. Hubbell's November 14, 2026 newsletter leads with the nationwide air traffic shutdown and the press conference at which Sean Duffy and Markwayne Mullin blamed Congress for underfunding FAA modernization—despite the last FAA funding, the Big Beautiful Bill, having passed without bipartisan support—while never explaining the shutdown's cause. He also reports Mary Peltola leading Dan Sullivan by 10,412 votes in Alaska, Lauren Boebert's defeat in Colorado, Democratic forecasts of a 56-seat Senate and 260-seat House majority, debate over the BAAJA permitting bill, and readers' pro-democracy protests across the country.
