HuffPost reports that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin was excoriated on social media on 13 November 2026 after correcting a reporter asking whether a nationwide ground stop could stem from AI, saying, "We call it SI around here," under President Donald Trump's executive order rebranding artificial intelligence as "Super Intelligence." The outage's cause was unclear, and critics, including MeidasTouch and Gavin Newsom's press office, mocked the administration for pushing the talking point during a national emergency.
