Memorial Day sales have almost finished — but these 3 mattresses are an excellent value all year round
The Memorial Day sales are all but over. If you missed out, there are still some great evergreen deals available to help you save on a new mattress any time of year. That includes a new favorite of ours: the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid Mattress, now 25% off at Brooklyn Bedding. At $999 for a queen-size after discount, that's an excellent price on a specialist cooling bed.
While the savings available now aren't quite as deep as many of the Memorial Day deals we saw, now's still a good time to buy because mattress prices are expected to increase due to tariffs. While the prospect of that seems a little less clear right now, it's still worth bearing in mind if you're planning to shop for one of the best mattresses.
You don't have to wait for Labor Day or Black Friday for your next chance to save on a new bed. Here are three outstanding mattress sales that are worth checking out after Memorial Day...
1. DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress: queen was $1,531 now $649 at DreamcloudThe DreamCloud Classic Hybrid is an excellent choice if you're looking for a luxurious mattress at a reasonable price. This is the DreamCloud mattress sale pricing we see for most of the year, but as the best hybrid mattress in terms of value, it's well worth your attention. Our DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress review spells out exactly what's so good about it, including excellent support and pressure relief that makes it a fine choice for side and back sleepers, plus great motion isolation and breathability. You'll get free delivery, a one-year trial, and lifetime warranty.
Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (9,100+ reviews)
2. Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress: queen was $1,598 now $649 at NectarIf you want an all-foam mattress it's hard to go wrong with the Nectar Classic. We rate it as the best memory foam mattress for combi sleepers, and in our Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress review, we found it to be well cushioned without lacking support, with great motion isolation. (Although if you're a fan of memory foam 'hu,g' you might find it a little unyielding.) As with the DreamCloud, the current sale price is one you'll see for most of the year, but nevertheless it represents fantastic value for this well-made mattress with lots of pressure relief, and it comes with a 365-night trial, free delivery, and a lifetime warranty.
Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (50,000+ reviews)
3. CopperFlex Pro Hybrid Mattress: queen was $1,332 now $999 at Brooklyn BeddingYou might have seen quite a few mentions of the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid on Tom's Guide recently, and with good reason. This relatively new addition to the Brooklyn Bedding range is a winner if you want a luxurious mattress that's comfortable for all sleep positions and delivers impressive cooling. In fact, it's already made our best cooling mattresses guide. In our Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid Mattress review, we praised its exceptional temperature regulation, pressure relief, and affordable price. It was slightly cheaper on Memorial Day itself, but right now there's 25% off, and at $999 for a queen size, this one's still a good buy. You'll get a 120-night trial, free shipping, and a lifetime warranty.

Massive Russia sanctions package stalls as Trump pushes for Ukraine peace talks
Senators are growing antsy to move ahead with a massive sanctions package against Russia, and the only thing standing in the way is President Donald Trump. In the midst of the extremely partisan budget reconciliation process, nearly the entire upper chamber has coalesced behind the sanctions package from Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., which would slap up to 500% "bone-breaking" tariffs on countries buying energy products from Moscow. Ukraine-russia Peace Talks Yield No Ceasefire, Zelenskyy Warns Putin Should Not Be 'Rewarded' The measure is designed to place Russia's war machine into a chokehold by imposing duties on oil, gas, uranium and other exports largely purchased by China and India, which account for nearly three-quarters of Moscow's energy business. Trump has pushed for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, which have so far not yielded an end to the three-year conflict, and has begun to sour on Russian President Vladimir Putin's reluctance to find a peaceful end to the ongoing conflict. He recently questioned "what the hell happened" to the Russian leader. The latest round of negotiations in Istanbul, Turkey, ended without a ceasefire, and Putin's recent demands for large chunks of territory in exchange for peace have been nonstarters for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Read On The Fox News App A successful surprise drone attack by Ukraine and fears of a retaliatory strike by Russia have lawmakers growing increasingly anxious to sanction Russia into oblivion, but the president has yet to give Graham — a top ally of Trump's — and Blumenthal's bill his blessing. "If President Trump asked me my opinion, I would tell them, 'let's go now,'" Sen. John Kennedy, R-L.a., one of the 82 co-sponsors of the bill, told Fox News Digital. Us Readies Russia Sanctions Over Ukraine, Unclear If Trump Will Sign, Sources Say And Graham, who traveled to Ukraine with Blumenthal to meet with Zelenskyy during the Senate's Memorial Day recess, wants to see his sanctions levied against Russia by as early as next week when world powers gather in Italy for the upcoming G7 Summit to "deliver an unequivocal message to China." "The theme of this engagement was that we appreciate President Trump's earnest efforts to bring about peace and entice Putin to come to the table," Graham said in a statement after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. "It is our view Putin is not responding in kind, he is not interested in peace and that he plans to continue to dismember Ukraine." Blumenthal believed that Trump "has been played" by Putin and accused the Russian leader of being "totally unserious" about the negotiations with Ukraine. The lawmaker confirmed to Fox News Digital that he and Graham would hold a briefing for all 100 Senators on the current state of affairs in Ukraine on Wednesday. He said there was "no question" that Trump's input would be significant for the bill's fate, but noted that even House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-L.a., came out in support of levying strict sanctions on Russia, which suggested a bicameral desire to inflict monetary pain on Moscow and its allies. "We have 82 senators, evenly divided, bipartisan, which I think speaks volumes," Blumenthal said. "If it's given a vote, it will pass, and obviously President Trump's views will matter as to whether it's given a vote." Trump Warns Putin Is 'Playing With Fire' After Declaring The Russian President Has 'Gone Absolutely Crazy' Still, Senate Republican leadership is waiting for a green-light from the White House before making any decisions to put the bill on the floor. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., countered on the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox Radio that his team and the White House were working together to make sure that the sanctions package "from a technical standpoint" hit the mark of what the president wanted to do. "We're trying to give [President Trump] as much space and room as necessary for him to try and negotiate the best possible outcome and get a peaceful solution in Ukraine," Thune said. "And if the sanctions contribute to that, then yeah, we're available and ready to move." Meanwhile, lawmakers don't see the sanctions package as undermining any ongoing efforts from the White House to broker a peace deal. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-S.C., believed that the legislation would instead act as a "real enabler" for the Trump administration. And Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va, similarly believed that the sanctions bill could give Trump a "stronger hand" in negotiations. "These are sanctions that would be very punishing to the Russian economy," he told Fox News Digital. "And we think the president can say, 'Look, this is going to be very serious, but it can be avoided if we reach an accord right now that's a cease fire.'"Original article source: Massive Russia sanctions package stalls as Trump pushes for Ukraine peace talks

Buyer's Remorse
Your elected representatives aren't paying attention to what they're passing: "Last week, Representative Mike Flood of Nebraska admitted during a town hall meeting in his district that he did not know that the ["big beautiful"] bill would limit judges' power to hold people in contempt for violating court orders," reports The New York Times. (This provision seems to be a direct MAGA response to the judges who have issued injunctions that block the president's ability to rule by executive order.) "Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said that she had been unaware that the mega-bill she voted for would block states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade." Of course, it's a 1,037-page bill; most lawmakers voting on it will not read it in full. Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), for his part, called on his colleagues to "take more than a few hours to read a bill this big and this consequential." Maybe he was right. Republicans almost universally voted with their party on this bill, rushing to meet the House speaker's Memorial Day deadline to get it through the finish line. "It's hard to read over 1,000 pages when things keep changing up to the last minute before we voted on it," complained Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–Ga.), as if she doesn't have the power to, like Massie, advocate for more time and thoughtfulness. The bill extends tax cuts passed by Republicans back in 2017 and makes certain tax code changes, "including lower marginal income rates, a larger standard deduction and a higher threshold for the estate tax," per the Times. Americans will soon be able to deduct car loan interest from their taxable income, as long as the cars are manufactured domestically. The child tax credit (with tightened standards) will be enlarged, and newborns born between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2029, will now receive "Trump accounts" with $1,000 deposited in them. University endowment taxes would rise, drastically. SALT deduction caps will be massively raised. Medicaid will have very strict work requirements attached to it. But some have been sharply critical of the "big beautiful bill" saying it will add to the budget deficit: "In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people," wrote Musk, which is…odd given that he was President Donald Trump's right-hand man, and this bill has been a huge priority of the Trumpist right, even if they're now claiming they didn't understand what was in it. Hegseth takes issue with Harvey Milk: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has apparently decided that the renaming of the ship USNS Harvey Milk is a priority in order for the Navy to make inroads "reestablishing the warrior culture." Other ships considered for renaming are the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez, and USNS Medgar Evers. We wouldn't want any DEI ships, you know. But Hegseth seems to misunderstand that Harvey Milk is not some random gay icon just known for progressive activism; Milk actually served in the Navy and was a freedom-appreciator throughout his life, with somewhat idiosyncratic views. He hated commies, he campaigned for Barry Goldwater, and he got pissed off at San Francisco's city bureaucrats who forced him to pay unnecessary fees when trying to open a camera store. "Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution," said Milk once at a rally in San Francisco. "Let my tax money go for the protection of me. Protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property." Seems pretty freedom-loving to me. (More on this from John Fund at National Review.) Milk's legacy, like many others, is complicated: He befriended and vouched for the heinous Jim Jones—yes, that one—and allied with the Teamsters. At times, he embraced progressive causes that libertarians would chafe at. But he was politically rather interesting, shaped by a wide variety of influences over his life. Milk's actual career in office was very short: He was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977 and was killed (along with Mayor George Moscone) the following year by Dan White, a former city supervisor who had disagreed with Milk's sponsorship of a bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations, housing, and employment. (There were other tensions between White and colleagues that also led to White's resignation from the board of supervisors and his violent act.) To some degree, the naming of the ship after Milk is a small way to right historic wrongs: Milk resigned from the Navy, accepting an "other than honorable" discharge in 1955, because he was in danger of being court-martialed due to his participation in an unspecified "homosexual act." It's unclear how real that was vs. just a means of pushing a gay man out of the service. In 2021, the Navy made efforts to posthumously upgrade this discharge, which were rebuffed by Milk's family members. Of all the things Hegseth could focus on, this is a strange one that feels like pointless pandering to the MAGA base—assuming they know very little about Milk's actual life and beliefs. For the record, I don't think we should deport politicians with terrible socialist beliefs; I think we should defeat them. Zohran Mamdani has clown beliefs, but there's just no value in stooping to the low "deport!" insult. You can't deport U.S. citizens over their foolish beliefs (…yet). And the fact of the matter is, even if you got the actual aspiring politician the heck away from public office, there's still a not-insignificant percentage of New Yorkers who believe his rent freeze and city-owned grocery store ideas are good ones; the actual ideas have to be swatted away with good arguments. "There was pretty clearly an agenda not just to cut contracts, but to do so by bringing some software development in house, which is actually very wise—and long overdue," writes Jennifer Pahlka of the Department of Government Efficiency. "I know of a few teams that have quietly gotten more staff since the start of the Trump term, and are delivering better results by firing poor-performing contractors and writing the software themselves. But those teams are in the minority. For most teams, their contracts have been canceled without much of a plan. Similarly, software (insourced or not) was supposed to replace people, but the people are gone without the software. They cut the workforce without cutting the work." Why do so few states track and publish the curricula they use? "You would think that states would be hustling to understand the curriculum used in each district, and to publish that information openly," writes Karen Vaites on her Substack. "You would be wrong. In recent years, just six states have published a map of the curriculum used in local districts." Those include Rhode Island, Colorado, Massachusetts, Ohio, Nebraska, and possibly Minnesota soon. (Wisconsin had done this but let the domain expire; the data was scraped and is still available elsewhere.) In Massachusetts, the publicly-available data "spawned a powerful investigation by the Boston Globe," adds Vaites, "which reported that 'nearly half of all Massachusetts public school districts last year used a reading curriculum in their elementary schools that the state considers low quality.'" Meanwhile, The Boston Globe found that "Massachusetts's wealthiest school districts are also, strangely, the most likely to stick with a reading curriculum the state frowns on." "Trump administration officials delayed and redacted a government forecast because it predicts an increase in the nation's trade deficit in farm goods later this year, according to two people familiar with the matter," reports Politico. "The numbers run counter to President Donald Trump's messaging that his economic policies, including tariffs, will reduce U.S. trade imbalances. The politically inconvenient data prompted administration officials to block publication of the written analysis normally attached to the report because they disliked what it said about the deficit." "I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!" posted Trump on Truth Social at 2:17 a.m. this morning. This is most likely in response to escalating (and reciprocal) accusations that trade deals have been violated. Actually yes: The post Buyer's Remorse appeared first on
