Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget.

Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors.

Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf.

Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now.

This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine.

Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle.

"Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours."

Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

The 120th Congress will impeach Pete Hegseth. Tick tock asshole.

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

It is not appropriate to laugh outside the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a member of the Army’s Old Guard reminds Hegseth’s group. On Veterans Day.

We gotta stop throwing America’s sons and daughters into the damn meat grinder of war just so Raytheon and the military industrial complex can make a shiny penny.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This man has no honor. No respect. It is not a tourist attraction. It’s our fallen. Just a disgusting man.

[The Associated Press @AP]

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

True American hero.

@JulianAndreone Im not absolving Dems from their responsibility to stop this, but Republicans should've never put the bill fucking together in the first place. The two behaviors are not the same.

🚨 BREAKING: A U.S. Army Tomb Guard was forced to reprimand Pete Hegseth and his group after members of the group were caught laughing and loudly talking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the guard shouted.

CNN obtained video of the incident.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

What happened last night regarding the impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth was deeply embarrassing.

Eleven House Democrats missed the vote. If they had been there, Hegseth would be impeached right now.

I’m not worried about impeachment itself. That will come in January.

I’m worried about the message this sends to the American people only a week after a seismic mandate was handed to the Democratic Party to get shit done.

I don’t care why these Members were absent or if this was some lowkey procedural strategy.

What I care about is the messaging, and at the moment, the narrative is: “Democrats said they want Hegseth gone, but can’t be bothered to show up to vote for it.”

That is not good.

All it would have taken is a simple message from House leaders: “We want Hegseth gone, but don’t trust current GOP leadership on this matter. We look forward to holding him accountable in January with the new Congress.”

Dem leaders really need to get it together on messaging. Immediately.

@RepLauraGillen Get there an hour early. Do your job

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Please pick a different Speaker, Dems. Please.

FFS.

[The Ginger Swindler @lilydsmith]

you missed the vote to impeach him today

[charles r. davis @charizardavis]

we showed up last tuesday to deliver democrats a historic win, and they can't even be bothered to show up for work a week later?
