When do July 4th sales start this year?
While Independence Day falls on July 4th every year, holiday sales often tend to start early and hang around for a few days after. Amazon also announced that its next Prime Day will take place from July 8 to 11, so the two sales may blend.
Where are the best pre-July 4th sales?
Fourth of July sales offer some of the best prices on tech, appliances, mattresses and fashion, making it a great time to snag stellar prices on must-have items, and there are a ton of retailers participating in the holiday savings. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is usually one of the best places to buy because it sells products from almost all major brands across these popular categories, making it a tremendous one-stop shop for all of your Fourth of July buys.
Outside of Amazon, we recommend checking out appliance and tech sales at Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's, as well as holiday sales on a variety of categories at Target, Nordstrom and Walmart, among others.
Should I shop July 4th sales or wait for Prime Day deals?
There's no definitive way to say whether Fourth of July sales or Prime Day deals are best. Both sales offer plenty of deals, including some of the best prices we'll see all year. Plus, it's likely the two sales will blur into one big discount extravaganza, given their proximity.
Fourth of July sales offer more variety in retailers, although much of your shopping may take place on Amazon anyway. There are also plenty of non-Amazon retailers that will keep their sales rolling through mid-July, often directly competing with Amazon Prime prices. Because you'll be able to shop so many Fourth of July sales, grab what you need and then keep tabs on Prime Day deals later for anything you miss out on.
How we choose deals
CNET has a team of shopping experts and deal hunters who have operated across major sales events for many years, making sure you understand when a deal is worth taking advantage of or when it's worth skipping. Whether it's for Black Friday, Prime Day or the Fourth of July, we have the expertise to make sure you get the best deal possible.
To do this, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing an offer to show you.
Real discounts mean real discounts. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
Quality reviews are equally important for any product, but particularly for deeply discounted items. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn't really worthwhile.
Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know in advance, so you don't return later only to be disappointed.
We are also considering the rising costs associated with tariffs to help you find items worth buying now.

Outsourcing Emotional Intelligence: The Tools We've Built Aren't The Tools We Need
Just a few years ago, I could have confidently started every single one of my Forbes posts by saying, 'Every reader of this post is human.' Today, I can't say that. Why? A.I. is consuming information faster than it's delivering it. So, what's my point? I recently had a conversation with a friend. She was frustrated at work. Apparently, since the advent of A.I. all communications she received from her supervisor were written by A.I. 'At first, I didn't care,' my friend told me. 'But, I just celebrated my twenty-year anniversary at the company. The recognition email I received from my boss was not sincere at all. It was obviously written by A.I.' Think about the difference between employee recognition and employee appreciation. Recognition is an action taken by a boss. Appreciation is an emotion felt by a boss. Both are necessary. So, what was actually frustrating my friend? Her manager outsourced emotional intelligence to A.I. Curious about the present and future of humankind's emotional intelligence, I decided to seek answers from an expert. CEO and Co-Founder of Six Seconds Joshua Freedman 'A.I. is already having an impact on emotional intelligence,' said Joshua Freedman, one of the world's top thought-leaders, and bestselling authors, on the concept of emotional intelligence. 'Every big tech advancement has created a huge impact on our social and emotional wellbeing. Of course, the impact changes depending on how we use the technology.' 'What made you chase the concept of emotional intelligence?' I asked Freedman on our recent video chat. Without hesitation, Freedman smiled, and responded, 'I was bad at it.' He then told me how he had spent his early career as a teacher. 'My 13 year old students seemed more emotionally intelligent than I was. As I started learning and practicing, I found it made all the difference for me, first as a teacher, then as a leader, husband, father, and person.' Fast forward to today, Joshua Freedman is the co-founder and CEO of Six Seconds, the global non-profit dedicated to teaching people how to use emotional intelligence (EQ). He owns the million-member EQ Network group on LinkedIN, and is a master certified coach. He teaches professionals all around the world practical tools to measure and create value with emotional intelligence. 'You've created quite the impact since you realized you needed to improve and understand your own emotional intelligence,' I told Freedman. 'You've helped organizations like FedEx, Qatar Airways, the US Navy, P&G, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, HSBC, and the United Nations, use emotional intelligence to improve results. That's quite a list.' Again, Freedman smiled. 'It's so far beyond what I imagined 28 years ago,' he replied. 'I feel deeply honored to see the difference this makes in companies and in people's lives. Six Seconds' practical tools and science take emotional intelligence to the next level. When people practice emotional intelligence they improve their outcomes -- you can feel it, and you can measure it. That's why we do this. It's transformational.' Then, Freedman, a man who loves to laugh, paused. His face turned serious. 'The issue is, our data from 169 countries shows that the world is in a five-year decline of E.Q. Over that time-period, optimism dropped by 8.6%. And, for younger generations, the decline is nearly double that. I could go on with other markers. But, in short: we're in a global emotional recession with sustained declines in our capacity to connect, adapt, and move ahead.' That last statement caught my attention. A global emotional recession is a scary thought. And, it's no surprise. For the past couple years I've written numerous posts about the record-high increases in anxiety, depression, and even suicide. That matches Six Seconds' research on global emotional intelligence: rising levels of burnout, declines in empathy, trust, motivation, and increased loneliness. A perfect storm that is battering our wellbeing. 'Is A.I. contributing to this recession?' I asked. 'We're already outsourcing so much of our thinking, and even our feelings, to machines. That's only advancing. I don't think it helps to point fingers, but let's be strategic about this: As A.I. grows, we also need to grow. That's why I decided to write my new book, Emotion Rules – a practical guide to using feelings as resources. The real question is, how do we continue to improve our skills with emotions, and help others improve their emotional intelligence?' He's right. So, I asked him, 'What advice would you give individuals or leaders who want to improve emotional intelligence for themselves, their teams, or for their organizational culture?' 'You get what you measure,' replied Freedman. 'Many leaders overly rely on traditional intelligence, or I.Q., yet now machines have higher I.Q. than most people. We need to shift our focus to Emotional Intelligence (E.Q.) The great news is that E.Q. and I.Q. can work together so we can see and solve the challenges we're facing. I work with a lot of very smart people, and when they take the emotional intelligence assessment and see that EQ is actually logical, measurable, and practical, they love it.' According to Six Seconds, here's how practice emotional intelligence: Step 1: Get the Data 'Notice emotions. Name emotions. Track emotional reactions to every aspect of your life, work, relationships,' says Freedman. 'Smart people love data, and companies collect tons of it. We're also suggesting including data about your emotions, your employees emotions, or even your customers emotions. Literally, you're simply collecting emotional data. You felt something. What was it? What do you call it? How did you react to it?' Step 2: Appraise the Data 'You recorded the data on what you felt and how you reacted,' said Freedman. 'Now your job is to assess it. How did it go? Did you like your reaction and the response you got from others? What other options could you choose? We don't get to choose what happens, but we choose how we respond to it. This is about switching off autopilot and making that response more intentional.' Step 3: Connect with Purpose 'You've collected and analyzed the data,' said Freedman. 'The final step is connecting with your purpose. What is the impact you really want to have? The point is, we're having an impact every day, and when we use our emotional intelligence, we can make that impact count. It's not easy being human. It's not easy having emotions. But, when we can understand and process them, emotions can actually help us become the best spouse, the best parent, the best friend, employee, leader we can be. When used well, emotions literally give us energy to change, grow and thrive.' As we concluded our conversation, I circled back to my friend's story. 'Any advice for my friend?' I asked. 'Her feelings matter. They're messages to help her navigate a difficult situation. Now she can use emotional intelligence to move forward.'

Musk says he is forming new political party after fallout with Trump
Billionaire Elon Musk said Saturday he is forming a third political party, after a dramatic falling out with Donald Trump, indicating he will make good on threats he made if the president's domestic policy bill became law. 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,' Trump's former 'first buddy' said on his social media platform, X. 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' Musk, the largest individual donor to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and, until recently, a close adviser to the president who spearheaded his administration's push to cut government waste, had criticized Trump's 'big beautiful bill' because of estimates that it would add trillions of dollars to the federal deficit. Musk's criticism of the bill was the catalyst for a major falling out between the two men last month. That feud seemingly cooled after Musk expressed regret and deleted the most incendiary social media posts he made about Trump, but it reignited in the last several days as the bill neared passage. Trump signed the bill into law on Friday. It's unclear to what extent Musk has taken steps to legally form the party, which would be required to register with the Federal Election Commission. The most recent FEC filings showed no indication that has happened. The world's richest man has indicated he wants a party that is fiscally conservative and reins in spending but has offered few other details about what the party's platform would be. Musk and Trump hold similar views on contemporary social issues. But Musk has argued the Republican policy agenda will increase the debt, calling it 'debt slavery.' The two-party system in the United States has long been criticized by both registered Democrats and registered Republicans, but efforts in the last century to form a third party have shown little success. Billionaire Ross Perot ran for president as an independent in 1992, winning nearly a fifth of the popular vote, but carried no states in the election, which was won by Bill Clinton. As CNN previously reported, experts in campaign finance and political science say it is financially and legally difficult to create a new party, and voters and candidates are hesitant to join. Musk said in other posts to social media this week that his party would become an active political force during next year's midterm elections and that it would initially focus on supporting candidates in just a handful of House and Senate races. Trump, in turn, has made his own threats against the man who at one point was his most visible adviser. The president said earlier this week the government may reconsider its massive contracts with Musk's companies and described the Department of Government Efficiency, which the billionaire previously helmed, as a monster that may 'go back and eat Elon.'

Trump Admin Insider Blows Lid Off Tariffs: ‘It's All Fake'
A source deeply embedded in the Trump administration's ongoing trade talks accused the Republican president of waging a tariff war for TV ratings. '[Donald] Trump knows the most interesting part of his presidency is the tariff conversation,' the White House insider, who chose to remain anonymous out of fear of reprisal, told Politico. 'It's all fake. There's no deadline. It's a self-imposed landmark in this theatrical show, and that's where we are.' In April, the MAGA figurehead paused his sweeping 'Liberation Day' tariffs to announce a three-month window for the world to negotiate new trade agreements with the United States—or face the full fury of his levies. In a subsequent interview with Time magazine, Trump claimed to have in principle already 'made all the deals' with more than 200 foreign partners, before later suggesting the real number would likely be closer to just a few dozen. Yet ahead of a self-imposed July 9 deadline, only the UK and China have inked relatively limited arrangements, with less than four days now left to go. As global markets brace for the Wednesday deadline, Trump has lately appeared full of tough talk in his public appearances, telling reporters Friday he'd already signed more than 12 'take it or leave it' letters to various countries reminding them of the levies they'll face if a deal is not soon reached, Reuters reported. On other occasions, Truymp appeared to revel in the uncertainty that his tariff regime has created. 'We can do whatever we want,' he said of the deadline during a White House press conference Tuesday, CNBC reported. 'We could extend it, we could make it shorter. I'd like to make it shorter.' That ambivalence apparently has some of the president's allies questioning just how far he's willing to go to net new trade opportunities for the country. 'You have wins. Take them,' as the White House insider put it to Politico. 'You only have to assume he doesn't want to take them because he likes the game too much.' In a statement to the Daily Beast, White House spokesman Kush Desai said 'the hollowing out of American Main Streets and industries by unfair foreign trade practices is not a theatrical show.' Desai added, 'President Trump pledged to use tariffs to level the playing field and restore American Greatness, and the Administration is committed to delivering on this pledge.'
