Darline Graham was a bad choice for sure. I understand and sympathize with her wanting to carry on her brother's legacy of sorts, though.

Obama CIA Chief John Brennan's Son Arrested On Child Porn Charge: Report
According to a sworn affidavit entered into court on Friday, the FBI's review of Brennan's iPhone "observed approximately 88 images that appeared to depict minor girls, including prepubescent girls, engaged in sexually explicit conduct."
The affidavit also describes an image of a female toddler, and another of a pubescent girl whose wrists and ankles were bound and whose mouth was gagged.
The criminal complaint was signed by a Virginia judge on Friday, and Brennan was scheduled to make his first appearance in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia later in the day. The FBI executed a search warrant on his personal cell phone Thursday night, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Mail.
If convicted, Brennan faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years in federal prison.
Police reports say the iPhone was obtained during a traffic stop on July 24, 2024 - but the investigation wasn't referred to the FBI until Oct. 2, 2026, more than two years later.
The arrest comes one week after the US attorney overseeing the Justice Department's so-called "grand conspiracy" probe resigned without bringing a single charge. Jason Reding Quiñones, who ran the Southern District of Florida, stepped down on Nov. 6, days after the midterms, after DOJ leadership reportedly admonished him in private meetings over his lack of progress.

The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a nationwide ground stop Friday for all airlines "due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety."
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that the ground stop followed a "communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers."
The government didn't provide any details about the issue.

“We are grateful that the Senate understands the urgent need to overhaul our nation’s air traffic control (ATC) system and included $12.5 billion in their reconciliation package for that cause. This is an important first step as Secretary Duffy works to implement President Trump’s vision of a brand new, state-of-the-art system.”

Davey, it's really not a laughing matter. You'd be shocked to know just how old some of the underlying systems that manage air traffic are. When I say decades, you can figure easily 50-60 years old. And no, I am not pulling that out of my backside.
The ATC system has been one of those footballs that just keeps getting kicked down the road. The US has been years overdue in an overhaul.

No, it's not a laughing matter.
The Trump administration received over $12 billion to upgrade the ATC system.
Any chance this ground order is due to this new system?
If so, which Trump crony got the contract?

Peraton is the prime integrator of the new system. It should be fully deployed by end of 2028.

Bear in mind a good part of the system still runs from floppy disks.
