> The FAA lifted its nationwide ground stop on Friday evening after hours of disruption affected thousands of flights. Cancellations and delays were expected to continue through the weekend. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the aging air traffic control system, while officials said there was no indication of a cyberattack. Duffy sought $50 billion in emergency funding from Congress to overhaul the infrastructure.
