Daily Breakdown
Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025
I am once again on the train to my hometown. After an almost six hour trip, I will finally get somewhat of a break. Hopefully, all of you get a chance to relax, eat and then possibly participate in Black Friday, even though stores have been having Black Friday sales for at least week. But before you do that, take a scroll and read the news.
Stay golden,

Federal bill threatens Minnesota’s hemp beverage and gummy industry
by Jingyuan Liu | City Reporter | Published Nov. 24, 2025
A new federal rule could slow down Minnesota’s fast-growing THC market as early as January.
The bill, created by U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), could reverse the legalization of THC from a 2018 bill, according to the Minnesota Reformer.
State Sen. Matt Klein, who chairs the Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee, said the bill would effectively ban hemp-derived THC drinks.
“The biggest thing that will be affected are hemp-based beverages,” Klein said. “They’ve become a huge industry for breweries across the state and a major consumer choice for Minnesotans pursuing alcohol avoidance or low-calorie options. They’re just going to be eliminated in January if this goes through.”
