Top SignalFAA nationwide ground stop lasts ~5 hours; officials cite legacy telecom failure, seek $50B The FAA ordered a rare nationwide ground stop Friday after a communications fault in the network connecting the air traffic control system. CBS News sources described an update that caused a reboot, crash and outage; Nextgov reported more than 10,000 flights delayed and said officials saw no indication of a cyberattack or link to the earlier Microsoft outage. Why it matters: A single-point failure in legacy infrastructure halted a core node of U.S. economic and state mobility, and the administration is converting it into a funding demand on Congress.

This is the archived digest for Saturday, 14 November 2026. Sections that read live data rather than that day's record — markets, the chart tape, recommendations, the insurance tape, the world map, what each channel led with, federal court filings, congressional trading and the government wire — are left out here, because showing today's numbers under 2026-11-14 would misstate them. They were in the email sent that morning. Read today's digest →
