This luxe espresso maker (and my will power) is 35% off for Prime Day
I've spent more mornings than I care to admit staring into the void of my empty coffee mug, wondering why I can't just be the kind of person who floats into the kitchen and whips up a perfect cappuccino. I've tried it all: the pour-over that takes 10 minutes too long, the French press that leaves a film of regret, the espresso machine that needed a PhD to operate. Nothing ever stuck.
Enter: the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi, aka my latest add-to-cart. It's sleek. It's hot. It doesn't talk back. And it's 35% off for Amazon Prime Day (July 8–11), which means it's basically begging to be adopted.
If you're already a Prime member, you know the drill — fast shipping, exclusive deals, questionable late-night purchases. If you're not, consider this your sign from the universe to sign up.

The VertuoPlus uses smart barcode tech to brew the perfect cup — espresso, double espresso, or full-on coffee — depending on which pod you pop in. It heats up in 15 seconds and has a swiveling water tank that adjusts to your kitchen vibe. The cherry on top? A milk frother that does hot or cold foam in literal seconds. No effort, no noise, no stress. Just you, your coffee, and the illusion of having your shit together.

Higher Prices Ahead For Shein, Temu, And Amazon Shoppers
Source: Ben Montgomery / Getty President Donald Trump has officially shut down a global trade loophole that allowed small parcels to enter the U.S. duty-free, a move expected to hit Chinese e-commerce giants like Shein and Temu the hardest. Known as the 'de minimis' exemption, the policy previously allowed imports of goods valued at $800 or less to bypass customs duties. While initially suspended for shipments from China and Hong Kong in May, Trump's latest executive order now eliminates the exemption globally, closing a backdoor that online mega-retailers had been using to avoid paying import taxes. 'This loophole has been exploited by bad actors to smuggle illicit substances and evade law enforcement,' Trump wrote in the executive order. He cited the high risk of 'evasion, deception, and illicit-drug importation' through low-value shipments that qualified for duty-free treatment. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The rule change is a blow to international retailers who had been re-routing packages through third countries like Vietnam to skirt tariffs. That workaround is now obsolete, as the new order requires all shipments to declare their country of origin to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In response, platforms like Temu and Shein had already begun stockpiling inventory in U.S. warehouses to reduce delivery times and offset the tariff impact. After the May crackdown, Temu announced it would switch to a domestic shipping model using U.S.-based distributors, though customers soon reported higher prices and empty inventories. Chris Tang, a supply chain professor at UCLA, said the global rollback of de minimis means there are no more loopholes left. Even bulk shipments will now face steep import taxes, likely pushing costs onto consumers. The new rule will also hit sellers on Amazon Haul, a low-cost rival to Temu and TikTok Shop that relies heavily on direct shipments from China. Amazon responded to the change by reaffirming its commitment to competitive pricing across its product range. Temu did not respond to a request for comment.

New York Post to expand to California with separate daily tabloid
Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A daily tabloid version of the New York Post is heading west, parent company News Corp announced Monday. The California Post, which will include staff based in Los Angeles, will debut early next year as a separate entity under the New York Post Media Group, the public company led by Rupert Murdoch said. The expansion comes as circulation continues to decline among newspapers nationwide. The California newspaper's content will include a version of Page 6 now featured in the New York Post. The New York Post displayed a mock images of Page 1 and the gossip page, including on Facebook . "Los Angeles and California surely need a daily dose of The Post as an antidote to the jaundiced, jaded journalism that has sadly proliferated," News Corp Chief Executive Robert Thomson said. "We are at a pivotal moment for the city and the state, and there is no doubt that The Post will play a crucial role in engaging and enlightening readers, who are starved of serious reporting and puckish wit. I am also pleased that [editor] Keith Poole's remit is expanding, as he will now be responsible for covering not just New York, but California, the U.S., the world and, perhaps, Mars." Nick Papps, who has nearly two decades of editorial leadership, was named editor in chief of the California newspaper. He was New Corp Australia's West Coast correspondent for three years. "This is the next manifestation of our national brand," Poole said. "California is the most populous state in the country, and is the epicenter of entertainment, the AI revolution and advanced manufacturing -- not to mention a sports powerhouse. Yet many stories are not being told, and many viewpoints are not being represented. "With The California Post, we will bring a common-sense, issue-based approach to metropolitan journalism. We'll tell the stories that our readers care about the most, but others overlook, and we'll do so with clarity and our trademark conviction, across print, digital and the platforms where audiences live today." The Post Digital Network, with 90 million unique visits in June, attracts 90% of its readers from outside the New York media market. Los Angeles, with 3.5 million unique visitors, and California, with 7.3 million, has the second concentration of Post readers. The newspaper circulates in South Florida but not as a separate edition. Overall, there are 13 million digital news readers in the region, including the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, and TV and radio stations. Newspapers' circulation has been dramatically declining. The Los Angeles Times was purchased by Patrick Soon-Shiong, a biotech billionaire, in 2018 for $500 million from Tronc. The purchase also included the San Diego Union, which was later sold to MediaNews, and several community newspapers. Tribune Publishing, based in Chicago, had adopted the name Tronc in 2016. Two weeks ago, Murdoch said he "would take the paper" public next year during an interview on The Daily Show with John Stewart. The New York Post is the oldest continuously published daily newspaper in the United States, founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801. Murdoch purchased the New York Post in 1976. News Corp, with revenue of $10.1billion in 2024, owns The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, papers in Britain and Australia, Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network. Fox Corp owns the TV network with the Murdoch family holding 39% of the voting shares.

US stocks rebound: Nasdaq soars, driven by Nvidia record high
US stocks rallied during Monday's session with all three major stock averages (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) closing up more than 1%. The Nasdaq Composite closed nearly 2% higher, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. Yahoo Finance Data and Markets Editor Jared Blikre takes a closer look at the trading day's sector action as the closing bell rings on Wall Street. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime. risk on day here. Just look at the chart behind me on the YFi interactive. We started the day up from Friday's close. We've drifted up and uh, we are closing at or around the highs of the day. Very similar story in the Nasdaq as well as the S&P 500. Nasdaq the leader by the way, up about 2%, and we will check in on the small caps as well. Not as up as much as the uh Nasdaq, but the S&P 600 small cap index up about 1.59%. We did see uh rates in the dollar uh kind of drift down today, but I want to get to the sector action. Everything but energy in the green today, and it was led by tech and communication services. So each of those very heavily influenced by the mag 7 stocks. We'll get a picture of that with the Nasdaq 100 in a bit. Also want to point out that utilities, the other AI trade, that's doing well as well. And let's take a look at that Nasdaq 100 board. Amazon sticks out down 1.44%, but most of the other names up in dark green. Nvidia to a record high, up 3.60%. Alphabet up 3%. Meta record high there, up three and a half percent. Microsoft uh record high up 2.20%. And uh a lot of standouts to the upside and really not that too much to the downside here. Similar story in the Dow Jones Industrial average, aside from that Chevron energy trade that you see right here, and Amazon, which is down about 1.44%. Everything else in the green. So 28 Dow stocks in the green. If you take a look at the Dow transports, that's what shipping the stuff that the industrials make. We see a little bit of downside action in Avis, uh down two uh 2% as well as Southwest just barely red, and Landstar down a smidge there, but everything else in the green solidly. Uber up almost 2%. Delta up over two and a half percent, and the list goes on. And here's my leaders board. I got a lot of uh a lot of tickers in here, mainly from ETFs. You might not recognize them all. What you need to focus on is everything is in the green. Haven't seen this for a while. Led by cannabis. That's MJ at the top. IPOs, Arc Invest. That's that disruption trade. Also Korean stocks. Uh, we got K web in there. That's China. Just lots of green to go around. So I'll send it back to you on that note, Josh. Thank you, Jared.
