    The FAA is rebuilding air traffic control on a three-year clock with $12.5 billion, and GAO says it has no full cost estimate and no single schedule — just 11,389 separate project schedules that do not connect.

    GAO reported on September 14 on the Brand New Air Traffic Control System, the FAA's effort, announced in May 2025, to replace the radios, radars, telecommunications and displays controllers use to manage up to 45,000 flights a day. Congress appropriated $12.5 billion in July 2025. The first phase is due by December 2028 and is now projected at $10.6 billion; the second, replacing the core automation, needs about $10.2 billion more and has no start or finish date. GAO found the FAA has no comprehensive lifecycle cost estimate, after a blanket waiver exempted the program from nearly all of its own acquisition rules, and no integrated schedule to show whether 11,389 separate project timelines collide. Progress is real: about half the old copper lines have been replaced with fibre. GAO's conclusion: the FAA 'is buying delivery speed at the risk of cost uncertainty and potential disruptions.'

    August 4: the year that was missing from our own Epstein file.

    Hugin's largest case file recorded the Supreme Court declining to review a decision the file never contained. Between December 2023 and August 2025 it held no dated entries at all, with ten primary sources supporting nothing. A structural audit found it, then a second check found the same shape in the Boeing file — no entries for 2019, the year of the second 737 MAX crash and the grounding. Nine rows added across two cases, one date corrected against the opinion itself, one source demoted because it cannot be reached.
