- California drivers sue gas stations for allegedly using AI to inflate prices
Firms including BP and 7-Eleven accused of coordinating prices to ‘wring more money from pockets of consumers’Gas station operators including BP, Circle K, Marathon, 7-Eleven, Walmart and Albertsons were sued on Monday by California drivers who accused them of using artificial intelligence to boost prices at the pump.According to a proposed class action, the defendants violated California’s main antitrust law, the Cartwright Act, by using an AI-based tool that uses data from competing gas stations to “coordinate high prices and wring more money from the pockets of consumers”.

President Donald Trump made some outlandish claims about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during an Oval Office executive order signing on Monday, as CBS News’s Ed O’Keefe pressed him on the exploding cost of the renovation. “We also fixed the reflecting pool. In fact, if you go over there right now, it looks very good,” Trump said about the algae-ridden water with a blue coated bottom that’s been peeling away since crews used hydrogen peroxide to try to clean it up. “It’s up,” Trump continued. “They put — somebody said fertilizer in the water. If you put fertilizer in the water you get algae. But somebody said they might have put fertilizer. They did something to create the algae. But that doesn’t matter because that’s been purified. Its dead. Laying at the bottom. They’re taking it out. They vacuum it out. They vacuum it very carefully out. And it will be back to health pretty soon. We’re going to have to let the water out to fix the one little — there’s two little areas — very little areas, where they were cut, and we’ll fix that. But it’s not leaking or anything, it’s got a base underneath.” “Part of what’s curious about this situation is, we stood here with you in April when you first revealed the plans,” began O’Keefe. “You said you had a guy who was gonna do it in a week for about a million dollars. It’s been two months, $16-and-a-half million.” “Well, okay, are you ready? Barack Hussein Obama. Have you ever heard of him?” Trump asked. When O’Keefe indicated that he had, in fact, heard of former President Obama, Trump continued: He spend two years and over $100 million on trying to fix it. You know what happened to it? It never opened. He took the water from the river. You know about that, right? It turned out to be putrid, and it destroyed the whole thing. Spent over $100 million. Him and [Joe] Biden together spent $147 million. You know what happened? Never opened. You don’t mention that, right? We spent about 10. Many of the — much of the money are park workers. They’re there whether they do this or not, as you know. They work in the park, and they’re very good workers. They did a great job. So, they were going to spend $300 to $400 million.

Why Amazon isn't always the cheapest option this week By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs June 22, 2026 Compare before you buy. Prime Day gets the attention, but Walmart and Target often match or beat Amazon on popular items.Use each store's advantage. Amazon offers price-history tools, Target has valuable gift card promotions, and Walmart's same-day pickup can be a major perk.Don't overlook essentials. Detergent, paper towels, pet food, and other household staples often see some of the biggest discounts of the week.If you're only shopping Amazon Prime Day this year, you're probably missing some of the best deals.For the first time, America's three biggest retailers are essentially going to war for your wallet.Amazon Prime Day: June 23-26Walmart Deals Event: June 22-28Target Circle Week: June 23-26Most shoppers will jump online, see a "50% off" badge, and hit the Buy Now button as fast as they can. That's exactly what retailers are counting on.The smartest shoppers don't pick sides. They make Amazon, Walmart, and Target compete for their business by comparing prices, leveraging loyalty programs, and taking advantage of each retailer's strengths. Heres a smart strategy to follow this year to maximize your savings.Check Walmart before buying anything on Prime DayOne of the biggest mistakes shoppers make is assuming Amazon automatically has the lowest price. That's often not the case these days.Because Walmart launched its Deals Event a day earlier, many of its discounts are already live and competing directly against Prime Day.Before checking out on Amazon, compare the unit price at Walmart, especially on larger pack sizes. Walmart frequently uses its sale events to aggressively price-match Amazon on consumables while also offering store pickup, allowing shoppers to avoid shipping delays and minimum order requirements.Always use Walmart's app while browsing Prime Day deals, as it makes it easy to compare prices. Many shoppers never comparison shop, which is exactly what retailers are hoping for.Pro tip: When shopping the Walmart Deals event, build a cart of household essentials first. Saving $5 here and $10 there on products you buy every month can often produce bigger overall savings than scoring a discount on a gadget you didn't plan to purchase.Don't assume today's Amazon price is the best you'll seeMake sure youre using the price tracking tools that Amazon gives you.Specifically, their AI powered Ask Alexa tool is on every product page just waiting to be used.Be sure to tap the Show price history button to… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - ¡Gol de Mbappé y fiesta francesa!
