Good Morning! On this day in 1652, 28-year-old Massachusetts silversmith John Hull opened the first mint in America, in defiance of English colonial law. The mint produced coins from 1652 to 1682, and as compensation, Hull was allowed to keep 6% of all the silver he minted.
Yesterday, we asked how your sleep habits might stack up against your lifespan. The answers were thoughtful, funny, and wildly varied: chronic insomniacs, power nappers, early birds, and an 87-year-old who walks daily and rarely skips a day. We loved reading every one of them, and we’re so glad you’re up for these little life experiments with us.
Later today, we will email you on behalf of our partner, IotaComm, with an investment opportunity in a next-generation wireless network purpose-built for smart cities and smart buildings.

California Sues Trump Over Guard Use
California filed a lawsuit against President Trump on Monday over his decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid escalating immigration protests, calling the move unconstitutional.
About 500 U.S. Marines assigned to Twentynine Palms began deploying to Los Angeles on Monday to protect federal buildings. Defense officials said the Marines will not directly engage with protesters and will operate under U.S. Northern Command.
While California officials and some media reporters have described the protests as “mostly peaceful,” the unrest has included scorched Waymo self-driving cars and widespread vandalism. Waymo temporarily suspended its downtown service for safety reasons. See photos here.
Protesters have been filmed spitting on and burning American flags while chanting profane slogans. See a video here.
Trump, CEOs Push Infant Savings Plan
President Trump is championing a proposal to grant every U.S. infant born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Jan. 1, 2029, a $1,000 tax-deferred investment account, dubbed “Trump Accounts.”
The initiative, part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” aims to promote long-term financial growth for children.
At a White House roundtable on Monday, CEOs from companies like Dell, Uber, and Goldman Sachs expressed support, with Dell pledging to match the government’s contribution for employees’ children.
The accounts would be managed by parents or guardians, and additional contributions up to $5,000 annually would be allowed. Funds could be accessed starting at age 18 for approved expenses such as education, home purchases, or starting a business.
Israel Stops Gaza ‘Selfie Yacht’
Israeli forces boarded a Gaza-bound aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists Monday, calling it a “selfie yacht” stunt and redirecting it to Ashdod, a major Israeli port.
The group, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was intercepted before breaking the naval blockade. Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered that they be shown Oct. 7 Hamas attack footage, so they understand who they’re backing.
