It's due to a "rolling frequency outage", per one report:
"Journalist Anna Giaritelli cited a FAA release which cited “rolling frequency outage” as the cause of the ground stop. A frequency outage occurs when the radio communication infrastructure that enables pilots to communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC) controllers fails to function properly. However, a country-wide failure, at such a large scale, is unprecedented."
