Sean Duffy on what triggered nationwide ground stop: "Our switches, our routers actually got overloaded with data, and they went down. And I shouldn't say they went down. They started to give us inconsistency in the data from those from those routers. And because of that, we shut the system down."
“I will be available in the hotel bar after the concert to help you rebook your flights,” former Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg quips as he begins remarks at the “What’s Next” conference in Denver.

CBS News has learned that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is frustrated that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick did not place data firm Megaspeed on a trade blacklist, where suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang worked. The move could have helped prevent the alleged diversion of restricted Nvidia AI chips to China. @EdOKeefe reports. cbsn.ws/4iIWzfJ

NEW: Multiple sources tell @CBSNews that an update to the private communications network that connects America's air traffic control system caused the system to reboot.
When the FAA's telecommunication infrastructure rebooted, it crashed, causing the communications outage.
The system is operated by L3Harris.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) says “it looks like” Congress has enough support to pass more legislation related to the Epstein files during the lame-duck session.
Khanna told CBS News’ @edokeefe on Friday that the new “Epstein 2.0" bill “would give state attorney generals the power to prosecute the Epstein class.”
“The bill would also allow the survivors to get access to the documents, and it would allow the survivors to get compensation for the illegal redactions that took place where their names were exposed,” he added.

California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna tells CBS News’ @EdOKeefe that Congress needs to investigate the alleged diversion of sensitive Nvidia AI chips to China, calling for its former CEO Jensen Huang to testify about his relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.
“I’ve known Jensen. I did a fireside chat with him. I just guess there should have been more transparency,” Khanna said. He also questioned what the Trump administration knew and when, and whether officials covered up any wrongdoing.
Huang resigned as CEO of AI tech giant Nvidia on Thursday.

This is a VoteHub appreciation post.
What a phenomenal first cycle for them. Transparent and responsible race calling (see below). Partnership with CBS News. Completely novel data visualization and mapping tools. Super innovative precinct-level modeling. Fantastic election analysis. No partisan bias. No paywall.
And the team is super young, so this is just the beginning. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for them in the election cycles to come.
Kudos to the team:
@ZacharyDonnini, @GarrettHerrin, @lukewines, @Varun_Vish, @austinjpark, @ElliscbIV, @JordanSchwartz, @josh_metcalf, @ryanjmccomb, @juanfwulff

WHAT’S NEXT? Democrats are asking and trying to answer that question today at a first-of-its-kind summit being held in Denver where several potential 2028 presidential contenders are set to speak. Our @CBSMornings 🌞 report.

"There was just an unbelievable joy and levity in everything he did."
Dan Hicks was a quiet giant of a broadcaster who left his mark on the Olympic community by knowing what to say -- and what not to.
An appreciation of an Olympic legacy.

Hello from Denver, where I just spotted a banner hanging off a bridge on I-70 westbound imploring Democrats not to choose @SenSchumer as the next Majority Leader.
More of this, please… 🤝
🇺🇸 @Schwarzenegger & @GovernorDavis were once political rivals.
But now, they’re friends.
And they’ve come together on this Veteran’s Day to host a pizza 🍕 party for the vets at West L.A.’s VA.
Their message? Supporting our troops is bigger than partisanship.
Simply terrible, gut-wrenching news from the sports broadcasting world…
Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.
From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.
But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.
“Jensen’s contributions to NVIDIA are profound. NVIDIA is one of the most consequential technology companies in the world. The Board and the company thank Jensen for his immeasurable contributions to the company and the industry.”
