NEW: Multiple sources tell @CBSNews that an update to the private communications network that connects America's air traffic control system caused the system to reboot.  When the FAA's telecommunication infrastructure rebooted, it crashed, causing the communications outage.  The system is operated by L3Harris.  Reporting w @NicoleSganga

NATO nations withdrawing from *their own* borders is a preposterous demand by Russia. Putin has proved once again that he’s not serious about a negotiated peace. Further talks are a farce at this point. Putin will only agree to stop the war when he knows he can’t win. We need to help Ukraine prove that point. nytimes.com/2026/11/13/us/po…

Every day these incompetent unqualified morons demonstrate that they have no fucking idea how to run a government. I wouldn’t hire these people to sell hotdogs at a baseball game, because they’d somehow find a way to fuck that up too.

CNN: Source says that the outages across the country involve air traffic control radars, as well as radio frequencies simultaneously going out. The controllers do not have any clarity on the cause and exactly what is going on.
