Sales $ are up because prices are up. We're buying less, but paying more.
Online Black Friday sales reached a record high (e.g. about $11.8 billion in the U.S. this year), at the same time unit volume — the number of items per order — fell.

Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:
