Costco is beloved for many reasons, not least a particularly stellar food-court deal: a hot dog and soda for $1.50. When a reporter asked the company’s former C.E.O. what it would mean if the price were raised, he replied, “That I’m dead.”
Can the Golden Age of Costco Last?
With its standout deals and generous employment practices, the warehouse chain became a feel-good American institution. In a fraught time, it can be hard to remain beloved.

“Exposure is not something that ICE wants,” a Los Angeles City Council member said. “When you are engaged in a systematic, unconstitutional activity where you’re trying to grab as many people in your net as possible, you do not want cameras.”

Some incredibly good news:

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.

In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.

In short, it’s working.

So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
