According to polls, approximately 1% of Americans, many of them with severe incapacities, still think Joe Biden is president. It's disturbing to see that Ari Emanuel is among them and I hope everything is well with him.

Sean Duffy gets mad when a reporter asks him why the administration and Republicans haven’t taken control of the air traffic control issue at some point over the two years they’ve had total control of the government

[Symone D. Sanders Townsend @SymoneDSanders]

Also republicans control congress. Why are they on tv begging for money??

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Duffy is blaming outdated equipment for today’s problems. That does little to inspire confidence that adequate safeguards are in place to prevent similar failures and ensure the safety of future flights.

Wouldn't be a Medhi video without classic number cherry picking. This entire video is hilarious, but it's especially funny when he starts to use hyper specific numbers because the broader point fails when you look at the entire dataset.

Here, he argues "white voters are more likely to vote Republican"...but only shows you how White men voted. Spoiler alert:

FAA NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP: WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON'T

There is a lot of speculation circulating about the FAA's nationwide ground stop, so I wanted to provide some context on what is being reported and why a ground stop would be necessary.

Initial reports identified problems at Chicago Center involving air traffic control radio frequencies and the automation systems used to transfer aircraft between controllers. The disruption reportedly affected other air traffic control facilities across the country, although where the failure originated has not yet been established.

These systems are essential for maintaining communication with pilots and coordinating aircraft as they move between different sectors of airspace. When those capabilities are disrupted, the FAA can issue a ground stop to keep additional aircraft from entering the system until operations can safely resume. It is a precautionary measure intended to protect aircraft and passengers.

Has something similar happened before? Yes. In January 2023, the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop following a failure of its NOTAM system, which provides critical flight information to pilots. Although the circumstances were different, it is an example of how a technical failure can disrupt aviation operations nationwide.

There is certainly reason to be concerned when critical aviation infrastructure experiences a disruption of this magnitude. However, a system failure does not automatically mean a cyberattack, terrorism, sabotage, or some other malicious activity is responsible.

The questions we should be asking are what failed, where the problem originated, what caused it, and whether the backup systems functioned as intended. Those are legitimate concerns that deserve answers, particularly given the importance of our aviation infrastructure to national security.

Until more information becomes available, we should be careful about drawing conclusions or amplifying speculation that is not supported by the facts.

CNN: Many US airports are nearing ground saturation which means they're running out of gates and space to put the airplanes.
