Amazon Failed To Acquire iRobot, Now It Is Selling Its Best Robot Vacuum at an All-Time Low Price
Amazon has established itself as a smart home leader with a large portfolio that includes such big names as Echo, Blink, and Ring. The devices made it easier than ever to control and secure your home while integrating with Alexa. Amazon's desire to dominate the smart home space was evident when it attempted to acquire iRobot, the firm behind Roomba robot vacuums. However, after regulatory setbacks, Amazon withdrew the purchase in January 2024.
In any case, Amazon continues to offer some of the lowest prices on smart home products, and today's offer on the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential (Y0140 model) robot vacuum and mop is excellent. Now, this great iRobot Roomba combo is only $149 which is a massive 46% off its regular price of $274. That's the all-time lowest price for this model, and it's great if you're looking to keep your home clean any time.

Why Choose This One?
This Roomba model unites mighty vacuuming and mopping in a single machine with a 4-stage cleaning system that strikes dust and dirt on all types of floors. Its edge-sweeping brush picks up even baseboards and corners spotless. The robot's smart navigation system cleans in neat rows and uses sensors to find and avoid drops and obstacles so you can let it drive around furniture and stairs independently.
Roomba Combo Essential is out-of-the-box ready to use and only requires several minutes to assemble: Wi-Fi connectivity means it can be used with the iRobot Home app or through Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands. The app lets you schedule a clean, monitor progress of the cleaning, and even receive a Clean Map report of where the robot has cleaned-prefect for busy households or pet owners who want to ensure all areas are being cleaned.
Performance-wise, the Roomba Combo Essential comes with three levels of suction power and three water level settings for mopping so you can tailor the cleaning to your home's needs. The mop uses a micro pump to keep the pad consistently wet, and the washable microfiber cleaning pad can be reused for up to 30 cycles and remains effective and eco-friendly.
Battery life is also impressive at giving you up to 120 minutes of cleaning on a single charge. If the battery ever runs out, the robot will automatically find its way back to its charging station so you don't have to worry about interruptions. Its thin shape makes it possible for it to duck under beds and sofas, and reaches into spaces usually missed when cleaning by hand.
All things considered, this iRobot Roomba combo for $149 is a fantastic bargain which combines affordability, reliability, and intelligence. If you've been considering a robot vacuum and mop for your cozy home, then this record-low price makes it time to buy.

Fox News beats ABC, NBC, CBS during weekday primetime while CNN has lowest-rated week of year
Fox News Channel beat all broadcast networks in a key metric last week as CNN had its lowest-rated week of the year. Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during primetime on weekdays from May 26-30, compared to 2.4 million for NBC, 2.4 million for CBS and 2.3 million for ABC. While Fox News prevailed against the trio of broadcast networks, it also obliterated CNN. Fox News averaged 1.5 million total day viewers from May 26 through June 1, compared to a dismal 308,000 for CNN. During primetime, Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers while CNN settled for only 374,000. It was much of the same among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as Fox News delivered 175,000 total day demo viewers and 240,000 during primetime, compared to 49,000 total day and 61,000 primetime demo viewers for CNN. CNN finished with its worst week of the year across both primetime and total day as Fox News had its highest cable news share since inauguration week. Along the way, the top 100 cable news telecasts for the week all aired on Fox News. "The Five" averaged 3.7 million total viewers and 409,000 in the critical demo to lead cable news in both categories. "Special Report with Bret Baier," "The Ingraham Angle," "Jesse Watters Primetime," "Hannity," "FOX News @ Night," "Gutfeld!," "Outnumbered," "The Will Cain Show," "America's Newsroom," "America Reports" and Harris Faulkner's "The Faulkner Focus" all had strong weeks, too, to help Fox News crush CNN.

Allina Health doctors, PAs hold first-ever union picket, ask for better work-life balance in new contract
Six hundred Allina doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners who work in primary care are asking for a new contract with more work-life balance. They gathered in the pouring rain Tuesday morning for a first-of-its-kind protest. "We are here together as a result of many years of fighting, fighting for primary care and fighting to make things better," workers chanted. While nurses have walked the picket line for years, these picketers are doctors, PA's and nurse practitioners who are admittedly higher compensated. "We all get paid really well, its not about that. It's about having better support for our patients and support in our community and that we want a fair treatment in our contract and protections for everybody," said Dr. Chris Filetti, a pediatrician with Allina Health. WCCO The workers are asking for paid sick leave, instead of having to use vacation time. They're also asking for four hours a week to finish paperwork, instead of doing it in their off time. Additionally, they're asking for more medical assistants and nurses for support. "As a provider I hear story after story about providers who have to cut back from practice because of poor work-life balance," said Filetti. Allina's leaders say they are listening despite the unsettled contract, telling WCCO in a statement: "We continue to negotiate in good faith to reach responsible agreements that maintain competitive pay and benefits for our providers while ensuring that we can sustain our caring mission during these extremely uncertain economic times. It is important to get it right. We remain committed to reaching fair agreements that ensure we can maintain access to the high-quality care people depend on."

Ukraine's Drone Strike Is a Warning—for the U.S.
By now Americans know about Ukraine's remarkable drone strike on Sunday that damaged as many as 40 aircraft deep inside Russia as strategic bombers sat like ducks in a row on military bases. One urgent lesson beyond that conflict is that the U.S. homeland is far more vulnerable than most Americans realize. The details about Ukraine's daring operation are few, but Kyiv managed to sneak cheap drones across the border and use them to destroy costly Russian military assets. The bang for Ukraine's buck was considerable. You don't have to be a fan of thrillers to imagine a similar scenario in the United States.
