Own The Flyover

Independent. Honest. Reader-Owned. 

For two years, The Flyover has grown because readers like you have done more than just open our emails—you’ve believed in what we’re building. Now we’re asking our community to help us take the next step: to make The Flyover truly reader-owned, built and sustained by the very people who read it.

We’ve launched a 12-day sprint to reach 2,000 Flyover investors—and as of this morning, we’re just 347 away from that milestone. Each new investor represents more than a number—it’s a Flyover reader stepping forward to say, “Independent, trustworthy news matters—and I want to be part of it.”


3 Reasons to Invest

1. Keep The Flyover reader owned.
From day one, our goal has been simple: the people who read The Flyover should also have the opportunity to own it. This keeps us accountable only to you—not to advertisers, political donors, or outside corporations. Together, we’re proving there’s a different way to build media in America.

2. Smaller investment, bigger community.
We’ve lowered the minimum investment to just $500, making it even easier for more readers to join as co-owners. Whether you invest a little or a lot, you’re helping strengthen a growing network of The Flyover readers who believe in balanced, fact-based reporting.

3. Protecting honest, fact-driven journalism.
Every investment helps keep The Flyover independent and focused on what matters most: clear, fair, and factual storytelling that earns your trust every morning. In a time when so many media outlets are chasing clicks, we’re chasing credibility.


Why It Matters

When we launched The Flyover, we knew people were hungry for something different. What we didn’t know was how deeply our readers—you—would stand with us.

Every new investor isn’t just adding to our numbers—they’re helping shape the future of honest journalism. They’re helping ensure The Flyover can grow into more states, reach more readers, and continue telling the stories that matter most to common-sense Americans.

We’re now 347 investors away from reaching 2,000 reader-owners—a milestone that would send a powerful message: that readers, not corporations, can build something lasting, credible, and worthy of trust.

If you believe in what we’re doing—if The Flyover has become part of your morning routine, your sense of connection, or your hope that real news can make a comeback—will you help us reach 2,000 investors?

Let’s prove, together, that the future of media belongs to the people who read it.

Article Icon 1Flights Canceled as Cutbacks Begin

Around 70 flights per day have been canceled and hundreds more delayed at Denver International Airport (DIA) since the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cut flight traffic nationwide Friday due to the government shutdown.

DIA is one of 40 airports affected by the cutback, which began with a 4% reduction in flights and will ramp up to 10% by Nov. 14. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said it could reach 20% if the shutdown continues.

Experts warn travelers should expect flight costs to rise amid the cancellations. Car rental companies have reported a surge in bookings as fliers search for alternatives.

On Friday, a Colorado congressional delegation sent a letter urging the FAA to let DIA pay air traffic controllers using airport funds, which the lawmakers called a “commonsense proposal.”

Article Icon 1Judge Halts Social Media Law

A federal judge has paused a new state law requiring social media companies to warn young users about the potential harms of their platforms.

Under the law, set to take effect Jan. 1, 2026, platforms must program health warnings to pop up every 30 minutes after a minor has spent more than an hour on a site in a 24-hour period or is using it late at night.

NetChoice, which represents several large social media companies, challenged the law in court, arguing it violates free speech by forcing websites to express the state’s viewpoint.

U.S. District Court Judge William J. Martínez granted NetChoice’s request to temporarily block the law, writing that it likely violates the First Amendment.

Article Icon 1Hungry Bear Visits Home Three Times

A Boulder resident says a black bear broke into her home twice in one night and made a third attempt less than two days later.

Marni Pogachefsky said the bear entered her home through sliding porch doors early Wednesday. When deputies arrived, it ran away—only to return and ransack the kitchen hours later.

Thursday night, Pogachefsky filmed what she believes is the same bear peering at her through a glass door and standing up to reach the handle, which she quickly locked. See the video here.

Wildlife officials warn that bears are still in hyperphagia, a state of increased activity and caloric intake that typically lasts through the end of November.

JP Morgan’s New $1.5 Trillion Bet

JP Morgan didn’t become the world’s biggest bank by investing in the wrong places. That’s why their recent $1.5 trillion critical minerals commitment turned heads.

Critical minerals (e.g. lithium) are essential to everything from batteries to the energy transition. Demand is massive and growing. Especially now that producing these minerals has become a matter of national security.

Take lithium. By 2040, lithium demand will be 18X the amount currently produced. No wonder giants like JP Morgan are jumping in.

It’s also why major players like General Motors and POSCO invested in EnergyX. Their patented technology can produce up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. Now, they’re preparing for commercial production on a potential $1.1B annual revenue project in Chile, at projected market prices.

America’s Lithium Boom is Officially Underway

The federal government just made one of the biggest private-sector investments of this administration. Where? Lithium.

It’s not a shock. Current production needs to increase 18X by 2040 to meet projected demand, and China controls 80%+ of the global supply. This combination is creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No wonder 35,000+ people have already invested in EnergyX.

Their patented tech can recover 300% more lithium than traditional methods. Now, after a recent acquisition, they hold nearly 50,000 acres of high-grade lithium resources in the Smackover Region, right next to energy giants like Exxon.

With backing from the DoE, General Motors, and POSCO, they’re currently preparing for drilling to unlock America’s next major lithium supply.

Get a piece of the lithium boom as an early-stage EnergyX investor today.
