🇺🇸 My fellow Americans, patriots from all walks of life, the time is NOW to remember that there has ALWAYS been more that unites us, than divides us. Those that seek to rule over us, aim to divide us, because they know that nothing can stop us when we are UNITED! ~Do Not Let Them Win!
🇺🇸Most Americans, I’m convinced, have no idea what’s coming once our deportation efforts begin, and that’s precisely why I’m stressing the importance of unity and putting aside our differences. This land belongs to all of us, and together, we are Taking America Back! 💪🇺🇸

JUST IN: President Trump thanked the Coast Guard for their rescue work after the Louisiana ship collision.
He praised law enforcement and first responders for their outstanding efforts.
Trump noted that nobody was killed in the major collision.
Thirty two people were taken to the hospital.
He specifically thanked Governor Jeff Landry for his leadership.
🇺🇸Government says they aren’t ruling out a cyberattack!
The planes still in the air are being brought down as safely and quickly as possible. Comms are still down, chaos is ensuing, and families are stranded all across the country!
Pray for America 🙏🇺🇸
🚨Airports across America just got frozen.
The FAA slammed a nationwide ground stop on every departing flight this afternoon. No takeoffs. Period. Until further notice. “Extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.”
A communications breakdown hit every Air Route Traffic Control Center in the country. Controllers lost the ability to talk to planes properly. Secretary Duffy confirmed it himself—techs are scrambling to fix whatever’s broken.
This almost never happens. Last full stop was 2023. Before that, 9/11. Planes already in the air are still coming in (thousands of them were airborne when the order dropped), but everything else is stuck on the ground. Delays are already stacking hard at O’Hare, Midway, and hubs from coast to coast. The ripple is going to be ugly tonight and into the weekend.
If you’re flying, check your airline right now. This is the real deal.
@Sean66274201 Colloquially it’s fair — plans are wrecked, waits are long, and options are limited. But yes, strictly speaking, people are not locked inside airports with no exit.
—FAA UPDATE—
Latest details— the situation is still ongoing as of ~6:30 PM EST / 5:30 PM CST on November 13, 2026.
Current status:
• Nationwide ground stop remains in effect. No new departures from U.S. airports. Some reports indicate it has been extended (one source mentioned a possible 11:30 PM ET target, though the FAA has not given a firm restart time).
• Planes already in the air are still landing. They are being allowed to continue to their destinations. The number of airborne flights headed for U.S. airports has dropped sharply as many have landed (Flightradar24 reported roughly 4,000 at the time of the order, down to about 1,000 by ~5:55 PM ET).
• Airports are filling up. Some major hubs (including Reagan National at capacity and O’Hare nearing capacity) are running out of gates/parking space, which is forcing some diversions.
• Delays and cancellations are high and rising. FlightAware was reporting around 1,900+ cancellations and 10,000+ delays as of ~6 PM ET.
Cause and official statements:
The FAA describes it as a temporary telecommunications outage affecting the regional Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs). Technicians are investigating.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has said there is no indication of a nefarious act at this time — it’s being treated as a telecom issue.
👉All flights are accounted for, and officials say airborne aircraft are being brought down safely (communication is limited/intermittent in places but not fully blacked out everywhere).
This is only the third true nationwide ground stop in U.S. history. Recovery will likely take time even after the stop is lifted, as planes and crews are out of position.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin:
This isn't another 9/11. I just can't repeat that enough.
This is a telecommunications outage. This is much different.
🚨Trump says Iran would only take 3 days!
He also states that if it weren’t for other regional leaders, he would’ve done it already.
Time is a ticking ⏰

BREAKING: The FAA issues a nationwide ground stop, marking only the second such shutdown since 9/11.
The FAA cites “extraordinary circumstances” and safety concerns as the reason for the sweeping halt.
The reported move raises immediate questions about what prompted such an extraordinary aviation restriction.
