🇺🇸Transportation Sec. Duffy: "Play politics all you want”
"America, when do you want to start building a brand new system?”
He’s fed up with Congress delaying the tens of billions needed after today’s nationwide ground stop exposed the ancient system once again.

🚨 TRANSPORTATION SEC. SEAN DUFFY JUST NOW: "By the way, all of the new [FAA] equipment that we put in, none of that went down!"
IMAGINE THAT! FUND IT NOW, CONGRESS
"None of YOUR networks run on 1980 tech!" 🎯
"I think the American people deserve the same kind of network that you all use, the same kind of connectivity and speed that you all use."
"We have old switches, old routers. We use 1980s little copper lines. It's an old system that went down and went down everywhere! It got OVERLOADED."
"We were able to deploy fixes to reduce the overloading on our switches that were able to bring the networks back online."
"So I think our fix gives us a pretty good indication that it was a legacy network problem that went down."
Tens of billions are required to fix this ASAP.

🚨 HOLY CRAP: President Trump has DECLARED A NATIONAL EMERGENCY over America's broken air traffic control system.
A reporter asked whether a cyberattack or a rogue AI did this. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says there's ZERO EVIDENCE of a cyberattack so far.
He says there's no chatter and no footprints, and nobody has claimed it. The NSA is working with DHS on the investigation.
Sean Duffy says the cause is simple. The system runs on "OLD, OLD SWITCHES, OLD ROUTERS" and "1980S LITTLE COPPER LINES." When it went down, it went down everywhere.
Mullin calls it a NATIONAL SECURITY RISK and says "this is what happens when Congress kicks the can down the road."
Congress let it rot, and now Trump has to clean up their mess.
Fund it now.

🚨 WOW: Sean Duffy just did something you NEVER see in Washington. He TOOK THE BLAME.
Duffy says today's ground stop was NOT THE AIRLINES' FAULT. He says it was the FAA and a legacy air traffic system that failed.
Radar and communications went in and out. At times, pilots and controllers COULDN'T REACH EACH OTHER AT ALL, and Duffy says that was a risk he wasn't willing to take.
He says pilots and controllers SAFELY BROUGHT DOWN MORE THAN 3,500 PLANES. Duffy was flying in from Dallas himself when it happened, and he showed up to the briefing in jeans and a jacket.
"I'M HAPPY TO TAKE THE BLAME WHEN IT'S WITH THE FAA."
That's accountability. Now Congress needs to do its part and fund the fix.

🚨 BOOM: Sean Duffy just revealed THE OLD HARDWARE FAILED AND THE NEW HARDWARE DIDN'T.
Duffy says America's air traffic system still runs on ANALOG TELECOM. Old switches and routers got overloaded with data and started spitting out bad information, so the FAA shut it down.
The new IP switches the Trump team already installed DID NOT GO DOWN.
Duffy says past administrations got $15 BILLION over 25 years to fix this, "AND BARELY ANYTHING WAS DONE." Trump got a $12.5 billion down payment in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and now he's asking Congress for the rest.
Duffy says this isn't red or blue. It's American.
Fund the whole thing and quit patching a 1970s system.

🚨 GRIDLOCK: Airports are running out of room to PARK PLANES.
The FAA told Fake News CNN that Reagan National in Washington, D.C. can't take any more diverted flights.
The ground stop may be lifted, but planes, crews, and passengers are now stuck in the wrong cities all over the country.
One telecom outage froze American air travel in a single afternoon.
That should scare every member of Congress who has been sitting on air traffic control upgrades.

🇺🇸DHS Sec. Mullin: “There was no indication as of yet that this was a nefarious attack”
The FAA has now lifted the ground stop that caused over 5000 flights and counting to be cancelled.
He's insistent that it was just a telecommunications outage.
A lot of them going on right now…

🚨🇺🇸WHAT IS GOING ON!
A massive Workday outage just locked workers at Walmart, Target, and other major retailers out of their staff and pay portals.
One day it’s the cloud, next it’s the payroll system. Feels like the entire digital infrastructure is playing Jenga right now.
This is feeling unhinged.

🚨 NOW: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says FEMA has activated its centers so STRANDED TRAVELERS DON'T MISS THEIR MEDICATIONS.
Airports have a direct number to reach DHS, and the government will work through the states to get people the medicine they need.
Mullin says the public WAS NEVER IN DANGER. No lives and no flights were ever at risk, and the FAA grounded everything out of an abundance of caution.
"ALL YOUR LOVED ONES ARE SAFE."
That's a government thinking about the grandma stuck at the gate without her heart pills.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is up next.

🚨🇺🇸 The FAA switched on its new AI system, SMART, at every control center in the country this week... days later, all of them went dark
Nobody has shown the two are connected, so start there. But the timeline is hard to ignore. The system pulls 200 data streams into one platform and uses AI to suggest routes and schedules.
The FAA said this week it was live nationwide after a trial around Washington.
The controllers' union said in September it had no part in designing or testing it, and Democrats asked the FAA in October to pause the rollout.
Homeland Security's Markwayne Mullin was asked today if AI could be behind the grounding:
"You just can't rule out anything at this point."
If you put one new platform in every control center at once and every control center fails the same week, wouldn't that be the first place you'd look?
It may turn out to be a coincidence, but it's on the FAA to prove that now.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Pacific-bound flights CLEARED for takeoff from San Francisco amid nationwide FAA shutdown
Flights heading across the Pacific are now reportedly being allowed to depart SFO, even as the nationwide ground stop continues to disrupt US aviation.
The limited clearance marks a potential first step toward restoring operations.

This is AWESOME ‼️ Phelan Elementary School in California has all their students come out onto the blacktop and recite the Pledge of Allegiance together
This is how it used to be everywhere in America. We need to bring this back nationwide
One interesting thing to note here is that TikTok displays a banner at the bottom of this video saying “Why shouldn’t you say the pledge”…. So on a video that’s very pro-America, TikTok has to put a banner giving people reasons not to say it. Disgusting (I show proof at the end of the clip)
