FAA issues ground stop at Austin airport over staffing issues; 160 flights delayed
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Wednesday, delaying more than 100 flights amid ongoing staffing shortages — part of a broader national trend straining the air traffic control system. The disruption comes as Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the nation's busiest hubs, enters its fourth week of significant delays and, more recently, flight caps due to a combination of staffing shortages, recent technological failures, and ongoing runway construction. The FAA, currently facing a shortfall of thousands of air traffic controllers, recently terminated hundreds of probationary employees and is now scrambling to recruit replacements under the guidance of the Department of Government Efficiency. Currently, more than 160 flights are delayed or canceled in Austin.

New proposed ballot measure in blue state raises eyebrows over who it's named after: 'Road side lunatics'
A proposed ballot initiative in California is named after alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione. The Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act submitted to the California Attorney General's Office would make it illegal for an insurance company to "delay, deny or modify any medical procedure or medication" that is suggested by a licensed physician in the Golden State where there could be serious consequences such as "disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement, loss or reduction of any bodily function," the document states. It was filed by Paul Eisner, a longtime Los Angeles-based attorney. The terms "delay" and "deny" were made popular by the healthcare book "Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About." The words "delay, deny, and depose" were reportedly inscribed on the casings of the bullets that killed Brian Thompson on Dec. 4. "What" Rob Pyers, research director for California Target Book, posted on X. "A proposed ballot initiative has been filed in California entitled "The Luigi Mangioni (sic) Access to Health Care Act." Actually," Los Angeles-based conservative activist Elizabeth Barcohana said. "THE LUIGI MANGIONI (sic) ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE ACT" Seriously???? A ballot initiative about health care submitted today to the California Attorney General is named after the accused killer. Crazy," author Gerald Posner wrote. "I'm starting to suspect the Democrats in charge of California might actually just be simple road side (sic) lunatics after all," Ruthless Podcast Executive Producer Leigh Wolf said on X. Mangione reportedly faced "chronic back pain," according to Honolulu Civil Beat, and issues after a spinal procedure. "Pain in general affects our mental well-being, how we go on in our day-to-day life and function. If you're reminded of an injury in your body, and you live in pain, it can be something that really rattles you," board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Besty Grunch told Fox News Digital in December. "In this alleged circumstance, you have a 26-year-old, fit guy that has an injury and needs care," she added. "And he may reflect his pain on someone else or blame it on someone else. And [that] can escalate to a point of suicidal or even homicidal thoughts." Mangione is currently charged with murder by both New York and the federal government, and he has pleaded not guilty.

Man charged in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing to appear in Manhattan court
Luigi Mangione is scheduled to appear in Manhattan state court on Friday in the 4 December killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione, 26, faces state-level murder and terrorism charges, as well as federal counts, for allegedly gunning down Thompson in a brazen street assassination. Mangione has maintained his innocence. The state case against him carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole, while his federal case could carry a possible death penalty. Authorities said that both cases will continue on parallel tracks. Prosecutors said they expect Mangione's state-level case to be tried first. Officials allege that Mangione ambushed Thompson as the healthcare executive was walking to an investor conference at a midtown Manhattan hotel. Mangione slipped out of New York City via bus after the shooting and eluded authorities for days. Related: Man charged in killing of healthcare CEO responds to supporters on website Police obtained surveillance footage showing his face which was widely publicized. He was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 9 December after a restaurant employee called in a tip. Authorities claim that Mangione left behind abundant evidence proving his guilt. In addition to the surveillance footage, they have claimed there were fingerprints on a cereal bar and water bottle near the murder scene, allegedly tying him to Thompson's slaying. Altoona police claim to have discovered even more evidence – such as a manifesto criticizing health insurers' prioritization of profits instead of patients, as well as a 3-D printed handgun and silencer. Manhattan prosecutors said that two of the bullet shell casings had the words 'DENY' and 'DEPOSE' written on them, and one unused bullet at the scene had the word 'DELAY'. These words echo the title of the 2010 book Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It, which has prompted many to theorize that dissatisfaction with the health-insurance industry was a possible motive. Though accused of murder, Mangione has enjoyed an extensive outpouring of support. Thompson's death prompted numerous US residents to voice their own frustrations with health insurers – including denials of necessary and critical services. Mangione's New York legal team launched a website 'to provide answers to frequently asked questions, accurate information about his cases, and dispel misinformation. The intent is to share factual information regarding the unprecedented, multiple prosecutions against him.' A letter claimed to have been authored by Mangione appeared on the site. 'I am overwhelmed by – and grateful for – everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded [the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn] from across the country, and around the globe,' the missive said. 'While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future.' The website also features a 'Contributions' page, with a GiveSendGo link, for anyone who wants to give to Mangione's legal defense. It has raised more than $500,000.
