Trump blames Biden for FAA problems in first comments on nationwide ground stop
The Washington Post's live-updates roundup reports that Trump, after a day and a half of silence following a nationwide ground stop that stranded travelers, blamed the Biden administration for FAA problems and asked Congress for money to upgrade air traffic control; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy attributed the halt to bad equipment or human error, and his funding requests drew Democratic criticism that Congress already approved $12.5 billion. The roundup also covers SpaceX's first catch of its Starship spacecraft, King Charles III on Elton John's podcast, horses boarding a Detroit bus, a bomb found at a Peoria, Illinois, ethanol plant, and advice to delete saved payment cards to curb impulse buying.
