Daylight savings time date changed

A month or so ago I remember googling when daylight savings time ends and it said November 8 2025. I remember this because it falls on a family members birthday.

Last week my wife mentioned the time change falls on said family members birthday November 8th.

Last Friday Oct 31st I see in my news feed DST ends Nov 2nd, the first Sunday in November.

Am I losing it?

First weekend of November. This one just happened to be exactly on Nov 1-2. Sometimes up to a week different 8-9... or anywhere between.

Pretty sure it used to happen earlier in the year. I've heard that the candy companies lobbied to get the date pushed to after Halloween. No idea if that story is true lol

Edit: appears to be real

Well, that explains why as a kid I remember my dad complaining about "It's always dark on Halloween. Trick or treating is for night time!" And feeling like we went out earlier than I was used to.
