This sounds fun.
"All airports in Washington Center are ground stopped nationwide + Canada due to an ERAM automation issue. VFR flights are allowed at their own discretion but be advised Washington Center will not be able to flight follow. The Command Center is working on reroutes to route traffic around ZDC, and they are also trying to utilize tower en-route clearances (TEC)."
Good thing ERAM is part of the fancy new NextGen system.

"ERAM technology is the heart of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and the pulse of the National Airspace System (NAS), helping to advance our transition from a ground-based system of air traffic control to a satellite-based system of air traffic management.
ERAM is vital to the future of air navigation, providing the foundational platform required for FAA to enable NextGen solutions, via modernization programs such as System Wide Information Management, Data Communications, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast.
Going forward ERAM will provide benefits for users and the flying public by increasing air traffic flow and improving automated navigation and conflict detection services, both of which are vital to meeting future demand and preventing gridlock and delays."
