The New York Times: [Live Updates: FAA Declares Rare Nationwide Ground Stop of Flights](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/11/13/us/ground-stop-nationwide-flights-faa/nationwide-ground-stop-flights-faa?smid=url-share&ref=birchtree.me)

> Markwayne Mullin, the secretary of homeland security, blamed the ground stop on a telecommunication outage but said Trump administration officials did not know the cause, adding that it would take an extended period of time to fix the issues. “This isn’t going to just be resolved and turned around within the hour,” he said. “This is going to take some time.”

First time in 25 years…
