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 https://t.co/boHH4w2oKa

Yeah, don’t hold your breath. This is gonna take a while.

CNN’s Pete Muntean: I'm also hearing from a pilot friend who's in the air right now who says that this large scale radio frequency outage has caused pilots to resort to the emergency frequency that pilots use as a last resort https://t.co/6yjUndcx6A

This is a lovely thing to read while sitting on an airplane 30,000 feet above…

Mullin: There was no indication as of yet that this was a nefarious attack. It is just a telecommunication outage as of right now. Everybody's safe. There is no reason to be concerned about your loved ones if they're flying or anything like that https://t.co/BnU6X4VG8w

REMAIN CALM! ALL IS WELL!! (Yes, this is the best person the Administration can put in front of a camera right now. A plumber from Oklahoma whose name sounds like a really bad mullet.)

Q: Just to be clear, can you definitively rule out that this is not a cyber attack? Mullin: We’re not ruling out anything. https://t.co/M1j5c1u5lr

Including incompetence?

Mullin: Everybody that's currently on a plane, we're going to get you on the ground and we're doing it in a safe manner https://t.co/tUixOmwFPl

Coming from a plumber, that’s extremely reassuring. 🙄

Mullin: This is not another 9/11 https://t.co/J3tpapiKA8

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 13, 2026

I HADN’T EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT!

Mullin: We are able to communicate at certain levels. But but it's overwhelmed. Duffy is doing a phenomenal job in a crisis mode. Q: Is it going to be days? Weeks? Mullin: Too early to tell. https://t.co/kcpU0FggJu

So if you’re in an airport trying to get some: start walking.

Q: Could this be AI related? Mullin: We call it SI around here. https://t.co/D0HpFyLocH

Oh, so you’re a dick AND an Administration official? But I repeat myself.

Mullin: There's no reason for the public to be afraid or scared for your loved ones. This isn't a another 9/11. I just can't repeat that enough. https://t.co/s4o4GLp5lg

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 13, 2026

That phrase doesn’t mean: “Keep repeating it!”

Mullin: The president took a lead in this immediately. That's what leaders do. President Trump's the best at leading us. https://t.co/dBXkpIesQG

Did pull him away from the television? His phone? Wake him from his nap?💤 

Mullin on Ground Stop: Do we know what is caused it yet? No. https://t.co/HteUPUWl7Y

But we call it “SI.”

If it turns out to be the new AI program, and especially if they can’t unfuck the system for days, I have to ask again: what is the fucking point of AI? So far it just seems to be the wet dream of a handful of tech bros who want all the money, and want to spend it on a concept that is financially unsound (indebtedness already far exceeds any reasonable return, but the beat goes on) for a future that will be so much better for…them. But so far, we ain’t gettin’ shit, and this whole concept looks far less than half-baked.

It’s obvious by now nobody’s building SkyNet, but beyond fucking up Google search and making celebrity nudes and kiddie porn, and wrecking the nation’s air traffic control system…what the fuck is AI good for?

Or, for that matter, DHS and DOT? And why isn’t Duffy in front of the cameras covered in flop sweat. 😓 

That would at least be entertaining.
