Good morning! On this day in 1765, the Stamp Act was enacted to raise revenue for British military operations in America. However, its direct tax on colonists leads to widespread outrage, over the issue of taxation without representation.
It’s that time of year again: Tonight (technically at 1:59 a.m. local time Sunday morning), we bid farewell to daylight saving time. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour when you go to sleep, and be prepared for it to start getting dark at night very early!
Wyoming is on the verge of a clean-energy revolution, and today’s sponsor, Vero3 is leading the charge—turning lithium extraction into a zero-waste process that also creates clean water and captures carbon, with public investment open ahead of its planned 2028 Nasdaq IPO.

 Court Orders SNAP Payments
Two federal judges ruled on Friday that the government must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, using contingency funds during the government shutdown.
The rulings came a day before the U.S. Department of Agriculture planned to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program because it said it could no longer keep funding it due to the shutdown.
In separate cases, federal judges in Rhode Island and Massachusetts said the Trump administration must use contingency funds to keep at least partial payments going. Both courts asked for updates on government action by Monday.
The administration is expected to appeal the orders. In the meantime, a number of states have announced local programs to help food stamp recipients. Here’s a list of what each state is planning.

FBI Thwarts Terror Attack
The FBI arrested multiple people in Michigan, thwarting a potential terrorist attack over Halloween weekend, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Friday morning.
Five people between the ages of 16 and 20 were arrested Friday. Authorities say the plan was inspired by a former Michigan National Guard member who was arrested in May for allegedly planning as ISIS-inspired attack in Detroit.
Patel, in a social media post, said that other details about the arrests would be forthcoming.
The Dearborn Police Department said on Facebook that it had been “made aware that the FBI conducted operations in the City of Dearborn earlier this morning” and assured residents there was no current threat to the community.

Trump Urges End to Filibuster
President Trump called on GOP leaders to use the “nuclear option” and kill the Senate filibuster in order to end the government shutdown with a simple majority vote, but met resistance in both chambers.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune remains strongly opposed to ending the filibuster, a spokesman said Friday, and House Speaker Mike Johnson pointed out the potential dangers of ending the long-standing Senate tradition.
Johnson noted that the filibuster, which requires 60 votes to approve some measures, has protected both the Republican and Democratic parties when they’ve been in the minority.

How Wyoming Will Become a Lithium Powerhouse
America needs 5X more lithium by 2035, but no new mines have opened since 1967. Meanwhile, current extraction methods are slow, waste tons of water, and emit loads of carbon.
So Vero3 devised a way to not only cleanly produce 9K tons of lithium, they’ll generate 2.3B gallons of clean water and permanently store 3M tons of carbon in the process—all from the same 14,000-acre Wyoming site.
This first-of-its-kind project is already validated with $25M spent and projects $183M in annual revenue. It’s the kind of zero-waste, vertically integrated model legacy operators can’t match.
Even better? Shares are now open to the public ahead of commercial trials and a targeted 2028 Nasdaq IPO. But don’t waste time. Become a Vero3 investor before this opportunity ends November 24.

“The Most Dangerous Experiment in History”
That’s what the world’s richest man says about the nearly 1.5 trillion tons of CO₂ put into the atmosphere since 1900, with 34 billion tons added each year.
No wonder he just gave out $100M to carbon capture startups. Now imagine if you could not only permanently remove it, but produce two additional high-value resources in the process?
That’s what Vero3 built. Their breakthrough system traps CO₂ underground while producing clean water and battery-grade lithium. It’s a zero-waste platform tackling $400B+ in combined markets at once.
Validated by $25M+ in spending and 18 years of R&D, their first commercial site is already permitted and ready to launch. And you can buy shares right now, ahead of a planned Nasdaq IPO in 2028.
Just don’t wait. Invest in Vero3 before the opportunity ends on November 24.
