All Amazon Echo speakers go on sale! Which one are you getting?
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority All of these offers come directly from Amazon, and they are 'limited time deals.' These discounts apply to all color versions available. Amazon Echo 4th-Generation Amazon Echo Amazon Echo A spherical smart speaker for everyone's home. The Amazon Echo (4th Generation) features a fresh new look and improved audio quality. If you're heavily invested in all things smart home, Alexa is a great virtual assistant to have around. See price at Amazon Save $45.00 Limited Time Deal! Now that the Echo Studio is discontinued, the Amazon Echo 4th-Generation stands tall as the best smart speaker in its lineup. The device goes on sale pretty often, but usually only the Twilight Blue and Glacier White versions go on sale. This time around, the Charcoal model is included in the sale, making it a nice time to get the speaker. I personally own this one, and still love it. You're in for a treat. The Amazon Echo 4th-Gen offers the perfect balance between quality and price. It looks much like an Echo Dot, with that spherical design that makes the series so iconic. The main difference is that this one is bigger at 5.7 x 5.7 x 5.2in. If you don't mind the bigger size, you'll be rewarded with a really nice experience. This one gets better audio quality, thanks to the 3.0-inch neodymium woofer and two 0.8-inch tweeters. All other Echo speakers have a single driver, so there is a significant difference in sound quality. The audio will be much fuller and more dynamic with the Amazon Echo, and the bass will also be much deeper. Of course, this is a smart speaker, so the Amazon Echo is powered by Alexa. You can use voice commands to play music, request information, solve math problems, set reminders, create shopping lists, call people, control smart homes, and much more. Because this is the higher-end model, you also get a few extra features. For starters, it works as a Zigbee hub, which means you can control all your smart home devices with it, without overcrowding your router. It also has a temperature sensor and motion detection, so you can automate smart home actions based on these. Oh, and if you use eero mesh routers, the Amazon Echo can work as a repeater for your Wi-Fi network. Amazon Echo Dot Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) Alexa and voice controlled audio, for cheap. See price at Amazon Save $15.00 Limited Time Deal! The full-sized Echo is great, but not everyone needs to upgrade to the top option. Especially if you're trying to use it in a bedroom or smaller space. The Amazon Echo Dot 5th-Generation has the same spherical design, but it is smaller at 3.9 x 3.9 x 3.5in. It's also significantly more affordable, but it's still plenty featureful. There's a 1.73-inch speaker packed inside, so don't expect it to host any dance parties. The audio is pretty decent, though, considering the small size and lower price point. Of course, it is still Alexa-powered, and you'll get all those digital assistant features. Additionally, it still has most of the extra features, such as the temperature sensor, motion detection, and eero Mesh Wi-Fi capabilities. It misses on the Zgbee hub, but many of you don't really care much for that. Amazon Echo Pop Amazon Echo Pop Amazon Echo Pop A cheap and tiny Alexa smart speaker. A great entry or extension to the Alexa smart home ecosystem. The Echo Pop has a sleek design with a front-firing speaker that sits nicely in an office or on a bedside table. See price at Amazon Save $15.00 Limited Time Deal! The smallest and cutest smart speaker coming from the online retailer is the Amazon Echo Pop. It is much smaller at 3.9 x 3.3 x 3.6in. This one also comes in super fun pastel colors, which make it look adorable. It definitely offers a more basic smart speaker experience, but some of you don't need all the bells and whistles, and it also happens to be the cheapest Echo option. You'll find a decent 1.95-inch speaker inside, which sounds pretty good for the price and size, but is nothing spectacular. It would work great as a bedside smart speaker, or you could have it on your desk. It still gets eero mesh support, but it lacks all other extra features. This means there is no temperature sensor, motion detection, or Zigbee hub. That said, this one doesn't get any extras, so there's no temperature sensor, motion detection, or Zigbee hub. Like the others, though, it does get eero mesh Wi-Fi support. Are you signing up for one of these Echo smart speakers? Make sure to act quickly. Some of these discounts are the best we've seen in 2025. We're not sure how long they will stick around.

Trump's ‘big, beautiful' deadline slips
The Big Story President Trump's July 4 deadline for signing the bill is slipping away as GOP senators battle one another over spending cuts and other issues in the House-passed bill. © Greg Nash But Thune wants to get the legislation back on track by convening small working groups to hash out key components of the bill, according to Republicans familiar with his plan. Thune is hoping to build enough momentum in the Senate's various committees that the components of the bill come together in a grand compromise by the end of the month. But rank-and-file senators who have some of the strongest objections to the legislation have yet to see key pieces of text. And Elon Musk's scathing criticism of the bill as a 'mountain of disgusting pork' is creating political headwinds for the legislation. 'Thune's going to do the same thing he did for other things where folks have deeper issues: He'll put small groups together. No one is going to be able to say they weren't listened to,' the GOP senator said. Read more here.

Section 899 would create a retaliatory tax on nationals of countries that impose 'unfair foreign taxes' on American businesses. 'If you've got an argument with their governments, then take it out on the governments. Don't take it out on the businesses and the individuals,' he added.

Amazon announces $20 billion AI investment that will bring at least 1,250 jobs to Pa.
Governor Josh Shapiro today announced that Amazon is planning to invest at least $20 billion to establish multiple high-tech cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) innovation campuses across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (Commonwealth Media Services) Elected leaders on both sides of the aisle gathered in northeast Pennsylvania on Monday to mark what they describe as a historic investment into the Keystone State. Gov. Josh Shapiro announced that Amazon Web Services is investing at least $20 billion to build two artificial intelligence (AI) innovation campuses, creating at least 1,250 jobs in the state. The governor called it the largest private sector investment in the history of Pennsylvania. One campus will be located in northeast Pennsylvania's Salem Township, Luzerne County, alongside the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. Amazon announced in March that it had purchased a 1,200 acre site adjacent to the nuclear power plant from Houston-based Talen Energy. The company expects to build out the site with data centers that would consume as much energy as 900,000 homes and require millions of gallons of cooling water each day. The other campus will be in the suburbs north of Philadelphia at the Keystone Trade Center, a site in Falls Township, Bucks County. It used to be home to a U.S. steel mill and is still partly used by USX. Several other communities across the commonwealth are under consideration for future campuses, as well, officials said on Monday. 'We stand to gain so much here in Pennsylvania with this historic investment from Amazon,' Shapiro said. 'And our country stands to gain much as well, because America's national security will once again be strengthened by the hands of Pennsylvania workers.' Shapiro said the initial $20 billion investment is 'already three times larger than the largest state supported project' in the history of Pennsylvania. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE Berwick, a former coal mining community in Columbia County where the press conference was held, is close to the northeast Pennsylvania data center site. Lt. Gov. Austin Davis said it reminded him of the area where he grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania that was impacted by the collapse of the steel industry. Davis said similar investments can help areas across the commonwealth adapt to the future. U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), lives in western Pennsylvania, but is originally from nearby Bloomsburg. He was also on hand to tout Amazon's investment. 'When I graduated from Bloomsburg High School in 1983, 42 years ago, I would have never imagined standing here in Berwick as part of a program that announces $20 billion of investment in Salem Township (and) Bucks County,' McCormick said. Kevin Miller, Amazon Web Services vice president of global data centers, said these facilities are 'going to serve as the backbone' for America's AI infrastructure. 'Our choice of Pennsylvania for this investment is not accidental. It's a combination of the skilled workforce, the strong infrastructure, as well as the commitment to clean energy and energy from multiple sources that really align well with Amazon's needs, building the future of AI and cloud computing,' Miller said. 'We see in Pennsylvania a partner that shares our vision for sustainable, community centered growth.' This will be a multi-year process for these projects, Miller said, and described the partnership as 'creating a blueprint for how government and industry can partner to drive innovation while creating opportunity for many, many families.' Shapiro highlighted Pennsylvania's energy resources, noting the state is the second largest energy producer in the country. He also said the commonwealth has a track record on innovation. 'We can produce enough power to support the energy intensive supercomputers and server farms at Amazon's data centers, affordable energy to this (Jackson mansion where the press conference was held), while still delivering reliable affordable energy to our small businesses that line our main streets, to our families and right into their living rooms,' Shapiro said. He went on to describe himself as an 'all of the above energy' governor. He also said state government is 'already all in on AI.' In September 2023, Shapiro signed an executive order to create an AI governing board for Pennsylvania with the intention of guiding the commonwealth's use of generative artificial intelligence, including developing training programs for state employees. In March, Shapiro provided an update on that program and said 85% of the 175 commonwealth employees from 14 different agencies who used AI for their jobs reported that they had a positive experience. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX McCormick and other lawmakers described it as a joint effort between multiple levels of government and parties to bring the investment to the state. 'We have all the ingredients for Pennsylvania's rebirth, all the ingredients to put Pennsylvania at the very top,' McCormick said. Labor leaders in attendance celebrated the 'thousands' of jobs this project will create for the construction industry. Although Pennsylvania's workforce was at the forefront of the discussion on Monday, Shapiro also said these jobs also show that the state can lead on national security issues. 'Right now, there is a battle for supremacy when it comes to AI, a battle that will be won by either the United States or China,' Shapiro said. 'I'm comforted by the fact that, thanks to Amazon, the future of AI is going to run right here through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, because I think those technologies should be developed by the hands of a Pennsylvania worker…not in communist China.'
