For much of the 2012 election cycle, Democratic super PACs have been outraised by their GOP rivals. The groups, made possible after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling , are allowed to collect contributions of unlimited size from individuals, unions and companies — so long as the funds are spent on advertisements that are not coordinated with any candidate. Priorities USA Action , the primary super PAC supporting the re-election of President Barack Obama, took in $10.1 million through the end of August. That’s up from $4.8 million in July.

Both ANA and Japan Airlines, the other carrier that has the most 787s in service, grounded their fleets voluntarily on Thursday ahead of the F.A.A. action while they attempt to figure out what went wrong.
