In a sweeping and almost overdue move, the IRS announced that it has clawed back $1.3 billion from high-income Americans who had long dodged their tax responsibilities. These are the individuals whose wealth insulates them, at least in their minds, from the obligations the rest of us face, but now they find themselves squarely in the crosshairs of a reinvigorated IRS. Funded by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, this crackdown is not merely a fiscal maneuver—it’s a message that, finally, no one is too wealthy or too well-protected to escape accountability. “$1.3B in unpaid taxes recovered from high-income Americans.” This…
Global crude oil benchmarks have faced significant declines this week, with Brent falling 7.2% and the U.S. benchmark dropping 5.4%, marking their worst performances since October 2023 and early May, respectively. The steep sell-off occurred even after OPEC+ delayed its planned production hike of 180,000 barrels per day until December. This delay, however, failed to ease concerns that supply would soon outstrip demand.

Seeing inside the human body has always been a challenge, requiring technologies like CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs, which often come with side effects, such as radiation exposure. But what if you could apply a cream-like substance to the skin and temporarily make it transparent without causing harm? That’s exactly what scientists at Stanford University have achieved in a groundbreaking study, which could have significant implications for diagnostics and medical care. Scientists at Stanford University rubbed a solution of tartrazine, commonly found in the Yellow No. 5 food dye used in Doritos chips, onto the mice’s skin. After only a…
In Jenin, the sounds of explosions have finally faded, but the silence that follows feels no less oppressive. What was once a town, already scarred from years of conflict, now bears fresh wounds—bullet-riddled walls, cratered streets, and shattered lives.

The death toll continues to rise, a grim reminder of how deeply the roots of this conflict run. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) call it an operation against terrorism, but for those living in Jenin and other battered towns…
