1. The Wisconsin program that provides food assistance for people in need is 10 days away from running out of money. Governor Tony Evers just made the announcement. It's because of the government shutdown. Governor Evers says the Trump Administration recently notified Wisconsin that “there will be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits for about 42 million people across the country." Wisconsin's SNAP program, now known as FoodShare, is 100 percent funded by the federal government. That means if the shutdown continues, the benefits may not be available at all next month. Governor Evers says that leaves 700-thousand Wisconsinites without access to basic food and groceries. Even if the shutdown ends tomorrow, November benefits will be delayed. The state says it will work as quickly as possible after the shutdown ends, to resume issuing FoodShare benefits.

2. OpenAI said Tuesday it is introducing its own web browser, Atlas, putting the ChatGPT maker in direct competition with Google as more internet users rely on artificial intelligence to answer their questions. Making itself a gateway to online searches could allow OpenAI, the world's most valuable startup, to pull in more internet traffic and the revenue made from digital advertising. OpenAI said Atlas launches Tuesday on Apple laptops and will later come to Microsoft’s Windows, Apple’s iOS phone operating system and Google’s Android phone system.
