When is Amazon's Prime Day event?
The online retailer recently confirmed that its massive summer sale will officially kick off on July 8 this year, and will run through July 11. However, the Fourth of July is just a few days earlier, and several retailers will be offering a massive slate of Independence Day deals as well. Amazon isn't having an official Fourth of July sale, but it will be competing with other retailers by offering tons of early Prime Day deals, which you can shop right now.
Are Amazon Prime Day deals worth buying?
Depending on what you are after, the short answer is yes. You can expect thousands of items to go on sale, including some deals that match or exceed the previous all-time low prices. Just note that Amazon stock can fluctuate wildly, which means there's no telling how long the item will remain on sale or available. If you see a deal you don't want to miss, we'd recommend taking advantage of those savings sooner rather than later.
Will other retailers be offering Prime Day deals?
While the official Prime Day sale is exclusive to Amazon, other retailers will absolutely be getting in on the action. Walmart has already announced that it will be having its own summer sale event that runs from July 8 to July 13, and it's likely that at least a few other competitors will follow suit. Plus, we anticipate that many Fourth of July deals and sales will spill over into Prime Day.
How we choose the best Amazon Prime Day deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for several years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we've learned how to spot the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only surface the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing the best deals to show you.
Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check pricing history for products listed as on sale so we know when it's a case of an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn't worthwhile if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
Remaining sale time is important, too. Some deals are only around for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that's the case, we'll let you know upfront so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.

Gov. Stein signs P.A.V.E. Act into law, paving the way for transit transformation in Mecklenburg County
MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Governor Stein officially signed six new bills into law on Tuesday morning, including one that could reshape transportation in Mecklenburg County for years to come. One of the most talked-about measures is , short for Public Access to Valuable Equity. This legislation opens the door for a November ballot referendum, where Mecklenburg County voters will decide whether to approve a one-cent local sales tax to invest in a more modern, accessible, and sustainable transportation system. MORE: NC Gov. Stein hosts news conference to sign 6 bills into law 'Today is a game-changer for our region,' Shannon Binns, Executive Director of Sustain Charlotte, said in a written statement. 'For years, we've dreamed of giving residents the chance to fund more frequent buses and trains, safer bike lanes, sidewalks, and safer streets for all. With Governor Stein's signature, that dream moves from the advocacy stage to the ballot box. When Mecklenburg County prospers with better mobility, every family, no matter their zip code or income, gains access to opportunity, cleaner air, and a higher quality of life.' 'This is more than a transportation bill, it's a generational opportunity to shape how ourregion grows and connects,' Shelly Cayette-Weston, President of Business Operations forCharlotte Hornets/Hornets Sports and Entertainment said in a written statement. 'This is a powerful example of how local and state leaders can work together to create bold solutions.' The P.A.V.E. Act gives Mecklenburg County the authority to: Put a one-cent sales tax proposal before voters this November Use funds to improve roads, expand public transit, and enhance bike/pedestrian infrastructure Tackle traffic congestion while reducing air pollution from vehicles It also makes changes to local tax laws, including updates to the county's 'U-Drive-It' vehicle tax and existing transportation-related sales tax rules, to support this effort. MORE: After Mecklenburg County's transportation bill passes Senate, do Charlotte residents support the tax hike? The measure was and earned bipartisan support in the General Assembly before arriving on Governor Stein's desk. If voters say yes this fall, the new tax could generate hundreds of millions of dollars for projects aimed at: Expanding bus and light rail service Building sidewalks and protected bike lanes Supporting Vision Zero initiatives to make streets safer Reducing tailpipe emissions, the leading source of local climate pollution For Mecklenburg County residents, that means shorter commutes, cleaner air, and more transportation options, especially in underserved neighborhoods. MORE: Officials detail plans to improve Mecklenburg County bus stops, but they need a one-cent sales tax to do it Now that the P.A.V.E. Act is law, it's up to the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners to place the referendum on the November 2025 ballot. If they do, voters will have the final say on whether to approve the sales tax and launch what advocates call a 'transformational investment.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trump slams Elon Musk as megabill drops AI protections and hits snags in Senate
President Trump slammed Elon Musk's subsidies, and Republican senators struck down a plan to shield artificial intelligence from state regulations. These two middle-of-the-night developments on Tuesday reinforced a growing schism between Trump and Silicon Valley supporters over his "big, beautiful bill." The first development came at 12:44 a.m. ET, when Trump responded to Tesla (TSLA) CEO Musk's ongoing critiques of the package, focusing on the government grants that Musk's companies receive. "Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa," wrote the president in a Truth Social post, adding, "perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this?" The president was referring to the government efficiency group that Musk ran until recently. The president's missive came after Trump's signature legislation underwent key changes in recent days that set off many in the tech industry, Musk most of all, with new measures to tax green energy companies and further support for fossil fuels, as well as a growing price tag. The divide between many in Silicon Valley and the "big, beautiful bill" has been evident for over a month. It appeared set to deepen further when, a few hours later, a closely watched artificial intelligence provision was stripped from the bill itself. This plan, which had many Silicon Valley supporters, was meant to shield the quickly growing AI industry from state and local regulations. But the idea now appears to be dead after Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee turned against a compromise plan Monday evening and stripped it from the bill. It wasn't close in the end, with the Senate voting 99-1 to adopt Blackburn's subsequent amendment in a count that wrapped up a little after 4:00 a.m. ET. Trump's overall package also appears to be teetering Tuesday morning after a series of overnight developments saw two key Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine — uncommitted to vote yes. Those two senators could join two Republicans already committed to voting no, which would be enough to sink the package. The drama between the president and the world's richest man has been up and down for weeks, but it escalated Monday afternoon when Musk offered new electoral threats against Republicans. Musk had already amplified Democrats' critiques and talked about the need for a new political party. He offered a striking promise Monday afternoon that lawmakers who vote for the bill "will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth." Musk, of course, was the biggest donor during the 2024 campaign, spending at least $288 million, most of which was offered in support of Trump. Trump reiterated his critiques of Musk Tuesday morning, speaking to reporters and saying of Musk's objection to losing EV subsidies, "Elon can lose a lot more than that." The president also called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) a "monster that might have to go back and eat Elon." And when asked by a reporter if he would consider deporting Musk, he demurred: "We'll have to take a look." What is unclear for the days ahead is how much the Trump-Musk fight will impact the actual chances of the bill's passage, with Senate amendment votes ongoing. Musk is clearly focused on a debate likely coming later this week, when the House is set to take up the amended measure if it passes. The House is where a vocal bloc of fiscal conservatives — who often vote as part of the "Freedom Caucus" — warily supported a previous version of the bill, saying a previous smaller price tag was too big. Musk even tagged some of these House Republican lawmakers in some of his latest posts, which continued throughout the night with dozens of messages. Musk also responded to Trump's comments about his subsidies by saying his companies like Tesla and SpaceX ( would be fine and that oil and gas subsidies should be removed as well. The back-and-forth over AI also came to a head overnight after the House passed a plan in May that included a complete ban on state regulations of AI for a decade. The little-noticed measure gained wider attention in the weeks that followed, with many of Trump's most loyal supporters opposing it. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene even admitted that she hadn't been aware of the provision when she voted yes. The Georgia lawmaker then announced her opposition and plans to vote no if this "violation of state rights" stayed in the bill. Trump himself doesn't appear to have taken a position on the measure, but it had the backing of his Silicon Valley-aligned aides, most notably the vocal support of AI and crypto czar (and longtime venture capitalist) David Sacks. But Republican opposition grew, and Sen. Blackburn of Tennessee became a leading voice of opposition in the Senate. She entered into negotiations over the issue and appeared to have found a compromise in recent days around the idea that instead of a decade-long ban, the provision would be amended to be a "temporary pause" of five years. States would be strongly discouraged from regulating AI, as lawmakers linked it to access to millions of dollars in AI infrastructure and deployment funding. But even that wasn't enough. Blackburn renounced the compromise, said a moratorium "could allow Big Tech to continue to exploit kids, creators, and conservatives," and teamed with a top Democrat to strike the provision entirely. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (a former Trump press secretary) congratulated Blackburn on the move in a post the senator quickly reposted. "This is how you take on big tech!" Sanders wrote.

Pick up one of our favorite Ninja air fryers for $50 off this Prime Day
You may be spending more time outside during the summer, especially if you have a grill, but the gadgets in your kitchen will come in handy this season, too. Prime Day deals have already discounted one of our favorite air fryers, so you can grab it on sale and make things like crispy fried chicken with ease. The Ninja Foodi Dual-Zone 10-quart air fryer is $50 off and down to $180 right now. While not an all-time-low price, it's a good sale for this time of year so far from the Black Friday shopping period. The DZ401 is one of our favorite air fryers. In fact, it's our pick for the best dual-zone air fryer. It heats up quickly and runs quietly, but the real selling point here is the dual-basket setup. If you cook a lot or make meals for several people on a regular basis, the Ninja Foodi DZ401 could be a game changer. It's possible to use the two baskets to prepare entirely different foods at the same time with distinct cooking modes — you can't do that on a grill. You can also prepare food in both baskets in the same way with the Match Cook feature. A very useful feature called Smart Finish can adjust cooking times automatically so that the food in both baskets (perhaps you have a protein in one and vegetables in the other) will be ready at the same time. That should help you avoid waiting for one basket to be down while the other gets cold. On the downside, this is a machine that will take up a considerable proportion of counter space, so it won't be ideal for small kitchens. If you can make room for it, though, the Ninja Foodi DZ401 could be a valuable addition to your setup.
