HuffPost's live-updates article tracks the FAA's nationwide ground stop on November 13, 2026, citing "extraordinary circumstances" from communications issues at regional air traffic control centers; it was lifted after roughly four hours, having delayed nearly 10,000 flights and cancelled 5,000. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy largely blames Congress for underfunding, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin rules out a cyberattack and scolds a reporter for saying "AI" instead of Trump's "SI," Pete Buttigieg calls for transparency, and Trump had not addressed the stoppage as of 6 p.m., instead posting about a bipartisan entertainment bill; the article also covers SpaceX's Starship launch and an interview with the creator of Scott Colom's viral "Pick Another Protein" ad.
