It's a tale of two consumers this holiday season — and they're both at Walmart
"They don’t have the sales they used to have,” said Eileen Gowlak, a retiree who is prioritizing groceries at Walmart over clothes. She’s not alone.
".. Obviously, if you’re more affluent, you can afford to buy the things you need. But if you’re seeking out lower prices, then where does the lower-cost consumer go?”

Same Product, Same Store, but on Instacart, Prices Might Differ
Same product. Same store. Same time. But on Instacart, different customers may see different prices.

ICE Arrest Data Shows Many Immigrants With No Criminal Record
In high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record, an analysis shows.
Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
