🚨🇺🇸 Flightradar24 shows aircraft crowding the ground at San Francisco International Airport as departures across America are halted.

DOZENS of planes have halted at San Francisco International Airport, with no departures visible…

Transportation Sec Sean Duffy says communications problems affecting all 22 regional air traffic control centers forced the emergency shutdown.

Planes already airborne can land, but international arrivals are being handled case by case.

The FAA has given no timetable for normal operations to resume.

Nearly 8,000 flight delays and 930 cancellations have been reported nationwide.

This is only the third nationwide ground stop since 2001, following 9/11 and the 2023 FAA system failure.

FAA ordered ground stop due to "extraordinary circumstances"

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Mr. Witkoff has been Trump's point person for nearly two years in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

He has accomplished nothing. Or maybe worse.

Since Witkoff has been on the job, Putin's demands have only widened, and the killing of Ukrainian civilians has grown.

Maybe time for a new negotiator? Or at least a change in tactics?

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy:

“The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.”

So it appears Elon has turned off the satellites for Ukraine again. This will lead to more innocent deaths.
When will people realize he basically works for Putin?

The Federal Aviation Administration FAA issued a nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon, “due to extraordinary circumstances", per CNBC

The White House is hunting for a fall guy on the Nvidia scandal and Howard Lutnick drew the short straw. He messed up. But Trump’s hands are just as dirty.

Nvidia’s CEO just resigned over an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. The government suspects she used her company to smuggle Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips into China. The Commerce Department has a blacklist built to stop exactly that, but her company never made it onto the list.

So now the treasury secretary is blaming Lutnick on live TV and the president’s allies are talking about firing him. But according to reports, Trump was warned about the affair and he did nothing. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).

🚨🇺🇸 U.S. flights grounded nationwide. National Radar OUTAGE. Microsoft hit by a global outage. And American military bases in Britain on LOCKDOWN.

All within days, as tensions with Iran reach dangerous levels.

The FAA ordered an extraordinary nationwide ground stop amid reports of communication problems.

The National Weather Service acknowledged a national radar outage.

Microsoft suffered a major disruption affecting services worldwide.

And across the Atlantic, U.S. bases at RAF Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Feltwell faced security alerts, with the Air Force confirming unauthorized DRONE activity at Lakenheath.

Is someone TESTING America's DEFENSES?

Iran certainly has cyber capabilities, but there's NO confirmed evidence connecting these incidents to Tehran or to each other.

Four major disruptions. One extremely tense geopolitical moment.

Do we even have a Transportation Secretary?

Garcia: The amount of people that are going to be grounded across this country is going to cause major interruptions and chaos. I think the sooner that the transportation department and certainly, quite frankly, the white house explains what's going on, the better

The FAA just issued a Ground Stop for All Flights! Nationwide!
WTF is going on?!?!

[TheIntelFrog @TheIntelFrog]

Aircraft already in the air appear to be proceeding to their destinations normally. Until the situation is resolved, new flights will not be allowed to take off.

The last time there was a nationwide ground stop was January 2023 when the FAA's NOTAM system crashed.
