Walmart doubles down on delivering groceries straight into your fridge
CNN
Walmart is expanding its push to deliver groceries straight into customers' kitchen fridges, even when they aren't home.
Walmart (WMT) said Wednesday that it plans to make InHome, its $148 annual delivery option, available to 30 million US households by the end of the new year, up from six million today. Walmart will also hire around 3,000 workers to deliver orders for InHome, offering them an extra $1.50 an hour from most store jobs, which begin at $12 an hour.
InHome is a small piece of Walmart's strategy to draw more shoppers online, but its expansion is a sign that Walmart believes the program can help it stand out against Amazon (AMZN) and other retailers' options in the delivery wars. Amazon in April announced a free, similar option called In-Garage Delivery where in which delivery drivers can leave groceries in customers' garages, but they don't stock the fridge.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
