Millions of Walmart shoppers who purchased grill-cleaning brushes over the past five years are being urged to stop using them because tiny metal bristles could end up in their food and cause serious internal injuries.Walmart has recalled nearly 4.5 million Expert Grill brushes over concerns that the wire bristles can break loose during cleaning and become lodged on grills or in food, potentially leading to injuries that require surgery, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).The recall, announced Oct. 1, covers five products sold at Walmart stores and online, including Walmart.com, with prices ranging from just $1 to $28.POPULAR EYE DROPS SOLD AT WALGREENS RECALLED OVER STERILITY CONCERNSAlthough no injuries or incidents have been reported, the potential danger may not be immediately obvious to consumers. Small metal bristles can detach from the brushes and remain on cooking surfaces, where they could stick to food.Some of the affected brushes have been distributed since January 2021, meaning consumers may have purchased them years before the recall.The products were sold under Walmart's Expert Grill brand and include handheld brushes, long-handled brushes with scrapers, a three-head stainless steel bristle brush and a 10-piece barbecue tool set.MORE THAN 265K RAM VEHICLES FACING RECALL OVER STEERING DEFECT, REGULATORS SAYThe recalled brushes have black plastic or stainless steel handles, and some feature attached metal scrapers.

Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!

- Federal budget deficit hits nearly $2T as national debt costs surgeThe federal government's budget deficit totaled $2 trillion in fiscal year 2026 as the cost of servicing the nation's more than $40 trillion national debt surged.The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released data on Thursday showing the federal budget deficit rose to $1.993 trillion in fiscal year 2026, which concluded at the end of September.That figure represents a $218 billion increase from the $1.775 trillion deficit in fiscal year 2025, which amounts to an increase of 12%.While federal tax receipts increased 3% to more than $5.4 trillion in fiscal year 2026, the growth in revenue was outpaced by the 6% rise in federal spending, which was nearly $7.4 trillion in the CBO's preliminary data for fiscal year 2026.REDUCING THE $2T FEDERAL DEFICIT COULD LOWER INFLATION, INTEREST RATES FOR AMERICANS: CRFBThe budget category which saw the largest spending increase in fiscal year 2026 was net interest expenses on the national debt, which rose by $115 billion, or 11%, from a year ago. The increase was due to the national debt being larger this past year than it was in fiscal year 2025, and because long-term interest rates were higher.Spending on Social Security benefits also rose $86 billion, or 5%, due to increases in average benefits and in the number of beneficiaries. CBO noted the increase would've been larger but for a significant set of onetime retroactive payments under the Social Security Fairness Act.Medicare spending rose by $77 billion, or 8%, because of increased enrollment and higher payment rates; while Medicaid spending also rose $55 billion, or 8%, due to rising costs per enrollee.DSA PLATFORM COULD COST UP TO $212T OVER A DECADE, ANALYSIS FINDSThe Department of War's spending on military activities was $48 billion, or 5%, more than in fiscal year 2025 – with the largest increases in spending on research and development and military personnel.Department of Education spending rose $41 billion, or 117%, driven largely by differences in the amounts recorded for the estimated costs of outstanding student loans. A reduction of $131 billion was recorded in September 2025 because of program modifications in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) – and the 2026 modification was significantly smaller, resulting in a year-over-year increase.The largest increases in tax revenue came from individual income and payroll taxes, which rose by $255 billion, or 6%, from the prior year.
