Good Morning! On this day in 2003, Uday and Qusay Hussein, sons of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, were killed by U.S. forces during a raid in Mosul. Their deaths were seen as a critical psychological blow to loyalist resistance during the Iraq War.

 Oregon Wildfire Nears Megafire Status
Oregon’s Cram Fire has scorched nearly 96,000 acres near Madras, making it the largest wildfire in the U.S. so far this year and putting it on the brink of “megafire” status.
Fueled by dry, windy conditions, the blaze has destroyed multiple homes and forced evacuations in Jefferson and Wasco counties. Crews have reached 49% containment.
Meanwhile, the eastern U.S. and Midwest are facing severe thunderstorms and flash flooding threatening millions from Missouri to Maine. Heavy rain is dumping up to 4 inches per hour in parts of the Ohio Valley, while tornado warnings and damaging wind alerts stretch from Kentucky to New England.
A dangerous heat dome is gripping the central U.S., with heat indices expected to hit 115°F in cities like Chicago later this week.

$1,000 Baby Accounts Now in Effect

Known as Trump Accounts, the money must be invested in low-cost stock index funds and can’t be touched until the child turns 18.
Families and employers can contribute up to $5,000 annually, with the goal of promoting long-term wealth building.
Supporters call it a generational investment in financial literacy, while critics question its cost.

List: Most Stolen Car in Every State
In 2024, over 850,000 vehicles were stolen across the U.S., with the Hyundai Elantra topping the list as the most stolen car in 20 states, according to new data.
The surge was largely caused by a lack of electronic engine immobilizers in models from 2011 to 2021. Viral social media videos exposed how easily these cars could be hotwired, fueling a wave of thefts.
Full-size pickups like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 were also frequent targets, particularly in rural and border states, driven by high demand for parts and interchangeable components.
See the most stolen vehicle in your state here.

MXRX Is Planning to List on the Nasdaq
Med-X is gearing up for a possible Nasdaq listing under the ticker MXRX. But the real opportunity is now, before they hit the big stage.
Their core product line—all-natural, lab-validated pesticides—has outperformed leading chemical brands in independent testing for certain use cases. That means powerful pest control without the toxic impact on people, pets, or the planet. It’s a category that’s ripe for disruption as regulators and consumers alike move away from harsh chemicals.
Med-X products are already available through major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger, and the company is actively expanding into international markets.
In just four years, Med-X has generated $6.4 million in revenue—and that’s without fully unlocking global distribution.
With momentum building and a potential Nasdaq listing on the horizon, this is your chance to get involved before the broader market catches on.

He’s Ready to Go Back to the Nasdaq
After helping a dotcom company reach a $600 million market cap on the Nasdaq, Matthew Mills stepped away. He’d achieved his goals. But then he spotted an opportunity too good to pass up: the discovery of an all-natural pesticide that could outperform its chemical rivals.
So he came out of semi-retirement to found Med-X and develop an all-natural pesticide line made with essential oils. They’re selling globally and have been proven to outperform chemical alternatives in certain use cases.
With $6.4 million in revenue in the past 4 years, ecommerce partnerships via Walmart and Amazon, and global expansion ahead, Matthew and his team are just starting.
Become an early Med-X shareholder before their planned MXRX Nasdaq listing.*
