When President Trump chose him to lead the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh argued that the AI boom would tame inflation. His colleagues say it’s doing the opposite, playing a role in fueling inflation, which could mean even higher interest rates. wapo.st/4iU5ASb

So Sean Duffy and Markwayne Mullin are still not sure this wasn’t a cyberattack. Incompetence at its finest.

DUFFY ON GROUND STOP: The president has asked for $30 billion. I want $50 billion. Congress wastes a lot of money. Let's get the money so we never have to come at 830 at night and have a press conference on why air travel was shut down

Breaking news: The FAA has ended a ground stop affecting flights in the United States, after thousands of aircraft around the country were halted for more than four hours because of what the agency said was a “temporary telecommunications outage.” wapo.st/4jf1iWB

The vast majority of Scots believe Swinney is doing a bad job, Both him and the SNP have divided our communities and damaged our democratic rights. No country on earth is stupid enough to allow a temporary foreign student to be a politician & sit in power over their people.
Reform and Tories are desperate to divide our communities and take away people's democratic rights. I will have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Odd how having sex with mistresses can bring down a CEO. But raping children doesn't bring down a president. 🤔

The next day Liz Truss takes over the rollout of new software for the FAA. Where else will her meteoric rise take her?* *Meteors don’t rise. They crash to earth /ed
Liz Truss’s first day on the job as Microsoft’s new IT Director.

BREAKING: Fox News attacks the Trump administration for a mismanged Airtraffic Control System after the FAA issues nationwide ground stop for all U.S. flight departures “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety” after widespread air traffic control communication/frequency outages. "Currently it's still mismanaged... But the point is, if it's a technical glitch of any kind, it's inexcusable because the FAA has been working on it. No one's reported on it on how the FAA has screwed it up, but they have...The same clowns that did that are still in power." Aircraft already airborne can land; international arrivals handled case-by-case. No timeline yet for resumption.

Fantastic response from Susan, and heroic control of her justified anger. Watch to the end for the questioner’s deflated expression.
For all those in the women's sector who never gave up.

The FAA’s exact words are “a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers” — the ARTCCs. I understand these are the centres that control/communicate with flights already in air, not the centres that do take off/landing.
Remarkable development in the US: Federal Aviation Administration has halted ALL departing flights nationwide Friday afternoon, citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns after air-traffic control communications were disrupted. The exact cause remains, as yet, a mystery.

NC AG Jeff Jackson: “I bring you greetings on behalf of a triumphant North Carolina. We flipped a Senate seat. We flipped six congressional races, probably seven, and we took the state house from super minority to supermajority. Y'all, we crushed it.” #WhatsNext

In case you heard otherwise, there is no radar outage and radar.weather.gov is fully operational! Outdated content from isolated webpages stating otherwise has been circulating, but NWS radars are operating normally.

The alleged espionage operation involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang raises much bigger questions about the race for AI chips and national security. Former CIA officer Sean Wiswesser explains why the stakes go far beyond technology. Three-month free trial for new customers. Cancel before trial ends to avoid charges. @Chesh | qrcode.skynews.com/skynews/N…

Wow! John Swinney's £2 bus fare cap is costing each of us £72 a year. Ten times the cost of a similar scheme in England. Funny how he never mentioned that at his photo shoot launch.
