As someone who has built and led the development of several software projects, I have too many questions. What do you mean “overwhelming the system?” Was integration testing not properly done with the legacy system before deployment? Can a tech person in the FAA speak on this?
You can see Secretary Duffy’s reaction as Secretary Mullin says the newer technology was overwhelming the system.

friendly reminder that in 2025 DOGE terminated roughly 400 FAA employees in roles that oversaw air traffic control, aviation safety assistance, safety specialist in IT roles, maintenance mechanics Do with that information what you will
BREAKING: The FAA has ordered a nationwide ground stop, halting departures across the United States after radio frequency and radar outages affected several air traffic control centers and terminal facilities. The stop applies to all centers and destinations and is expected to remain in effect until at least 5:00 PM Eastern. Earlier, flights were halted at Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports. The cause of the outages is not yet known.

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.

Dear Republicans, You've controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House for 2 years now. There is NO EXCUSE for disastrous lapses in management like this, NONE. You only have YOURSELVES to blame. And Sean Duffy needs to be fired.

Donald Trump’s own financial disclosures indicate he was buying Nvidia stock while he dismantled the rules written to keep the company’s most advanced chips out of China. The disclosures indicate he bought Nvidia stock in the days before he rescinded the rule, and bought more after he cleared the company to sell one of its most advanced chips to China. Semafor reports that Nvidia’s top lawyer invoked the president’s name directly to push government officials on export controls. The White House’s top economic adviser is expected to leave in the coming weeks, according to Semafor, though he denies it. And the Associated Press has called Lauren Boebert’s race: she’s lost one of the most conservative seats in Colorado. Read it all in the Really American Substack: reallyamerican.substack.com/…

I thought we were bringing in trillions
BREAKING: The US Treasury posted a -$404 billion budget deficit in October, the largest October deficit in history. This marks a +$120 billion YoY increase and a +$337 billion surge from October 2024. This comes as government outlays jumped +$84 billion YoY, to $773 billion, their largest for any October on record. Defense spending was a major driver, surging +$29 billion YoY, to $129 billion, the largest monthly reading in history. At the same time, government receipts dropped -$35 billion YoY, to $369 billion. The US deficit crisis is accelerating.

I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today. None of them are buying what he said because they said these types of switches that the FAA is doing, they don’t happen during the day, they don’t happen during busy times like a Friday afternoon. They’re doing these midweek, middle of the night when there is no air traffic going on. The controllers were saying, “We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.”

1/ ركّزوا معي. ترامب اعترف مبارح بشي ما حدا انتبهلو. بمقابلة بالبيت الأبيض صوت وصورة مع Stephen A. Smith، قال بالحرف: "I could end it immediately" بقدر انهي الحرب مع إيران فوراً. بس ليش ما عم ينهيها؟ هون الصدمة. 2/ ترامب قال: "at the request of the nations that I'm looking to protect, we are doing it a little bit longer way" يعني: عم طولها لأنو الدول يللي عم احميهن طلبوا مني هيك. مين هني؟ سمّاهن بالاسم: "Saudi Arabia has asked me to please just let it be the way it is now for a while" "Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, all of them would much prefer the waiting period." 3/ ترجمها: السعودية وقطر والكويت والإمارات والبحرين طلبوا من ترامب: لا تضرب ضربات كبيرة هلأ. خليك على الحصار والانتظار، لأنو إيران عم تتفكك لحالها. وترامب شو قال عن طلبن؟ قال: "I'm not sure I agree with it." يعني: أنا مش مقتنع، بس عم اسمعن. 4/ ولما سألوه: كنت رح تضرب أكتر لو ما طلبوا منك؟ قال: "Yes, I would." يعني هو كان بدو يضرب أكتر. 5/ طيب شو كان بدو يعمل لو ضرب؟ هون قال الجملة الأخطر: "In one day their energy is gone. In one day their bridges are gone. And in one day their manufacturing capability is gone. It would only take me three days." بيوم طاقتن بتروح. بيوم جسورن بتروح. بيوم مصانعن بتروح. 3 أيام وبخلص عليهن. 6/ وهون لازم نفهم الصورة الكاملة، لأنو في طرف تاني عم يضغط بالعكس تماماً. حسب تقارير Axios و Financial Times، نتنياهو عم يتصل بترامب شبه يومياً ليضغط عليه يرجع يضرب إيران ويستأنف الحرب. يعني ترامب بالنص: الخليج عم يقولو: روّق، لا تضرب. نتنياهو عم يقولو: اضرب، اضرب. وهو عم يقول: مش مقتنع بحدا، بس بعدني عم اسمع للخليج. 7/ الخلاصة المضمونة: ترامب مش عم يقرر الحرب لحالو. الحرب صارت مزاد. الخليج بدو إيران تتفكك على البطيء بالحصار، بلا ضربات كبيرة تعمل فوضى عندن. نتنياهو بدو ضربات كبيرة لينقذ حالو سياسياً. وإيران بالنص، عم تتخنق بالحصار وعم تهدد: إذا خنقتوني، رح خنق العالم معي. انتبهو : هيدا مش تحليلي. هيدا كلام ترامب بصوتو، وهيدي تقارير Axios عن نتنياهو. صب يا كبير صب 🔥 واحد بياخدك شمال واحد بياخدك يمين ☺️

Um… Joe Biden’s infrastructure law set aside $25 BILLION for airports and air traffic control. Now we have a former REALITY TV STAR running the Department of Transportation, begging for another $30 BILLION while planes sit grounded. Here's a crazy idea: Before demanding another $30 BILLION, how about explaining where the hell the original $25 BILLION went? And considering this administration's obsession with declaring everything Biden did a failure, I'd especially like to know what's been spent, what's left, and whether any projects were sidelined. Where the HELL is the press? Why isn't anyone demanding answers? 🤷‍♂️🙄

I've never encountered anything as disturbing as the allegations surrounding the Epstein files. Sexually abused Trafficked Exploited Filmed Threatened Tortured Allegedly murdered Children reportedly as young as 13, 14, and 15 AND STILL, WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY? How can so many disturbing allegations remain unanswered without a worldwide demand for justice, transparency, and accountability?

Bro, they aren't even trying to hide the corrpution anymore!! The FAA airline stoppage story is a MUCH bigger one than the ground stop itself, and I only saw it once I started following the money and who gets paid... Here is what I found... The official line is that it was NOT a cyberattack and NOT a "nefarious act." US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy points at overloaded routers and old broken equipment. Sure we can take that at face value, because it matters for what comes next. Because on the SAME day, the White House went to Congress for 10s of billions of dollars to rebuild air traffic control, and Duffy pushed the number EVEN higher on camera. Both happen on the same day, a very public failure declared NOT an attack, and the argument for a VERY large cheque built straight on top of it. Whether the outage was engineered or was just the system rotting on schedule, the political result they are after is the SAME, the breakdown becomes the justification for MORE MONEY. The money is the whole point here, and it ends up in one place... The "brand new" air traffic control system contracts was handed in December 2025 to a single prime contractor, Peraton, a company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital, and chosen despite limited FAA experience. The full program is priced at around $31 billion dollars. Congress has so far put up only $12 billion as a "down payment." The rest is still UNFUNDED. So Friday's breakdown arrives as the pressure to approve the rest of the SAME program already promised to the SAME private contractor; Peraton. Most US airports are public, owned by cities and airport authorities, but the terminals and the systems get built by private firms, and that is where the billions flow, out of public failure and public money into private hands. So who are those PRIVATE HANDS benefiting most? Who ultimately gets the money? The prime contract went to Peraton, a private company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital. And who funds Veritas? Its investors are Israeli institutions: Clal Insurance $100M, Migdal Insurance $60M, Menora Mivtachim $50M, plus ~$150M from private Israeli investors, all in its at least $15.3 billion fund. Peraton’s lobbyist is Mark Bednar also sits on the board of the "nonprofit" that funded Sean Duffy’s TV show “The Great American Road Trip”. This is the question, and it needs to be examined by EVERYONE. A pressure tactic to MOVE public money into private hands, while America and Americans pay for it with 5,000 cancelled flights and the economic fallout from that many cancelled flights… The proximity is on the public record too, lobbying and personnel links running between the contractor and the officials now asking you to fund it. Americans ate the cancelled flights and a wrecked weekend. The money walks the other way, into private hands, and the whole thing is dressed up as an emergency repair. Who will investigate this corruption and conflict of interest? See the next set of ties in the comments. Follow for more... 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗟, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗦𝗘!!

Stephen Miller completely melted the second a reporter asked where his immigration numbers came from. Couldn’t produce a single statistic, just started ranting fear tactics like a cornered rat. His whole act collapses the moment anyone demands proof. Pathetic.

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?
