Super Typhoon Yagi arrived with a force that seemed to pause time itself.

In the hills of Nyeri County, Kenya, a tragedy has unfolded, one that grips the heart with both fire and absence. A dormitory at Hillside Endarasha Primary School went up in flames, leaving behind a scar that has taken the lives of 18 students, while 27 others lie in hospital beds, and, perhaps most painfully, 70 children remain unaccounted for. As Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua stood before the grief-stricken community, he urged families and neighbors to come forward if they had sheltered any of the children, as if, somewhere amid the chaos, there might still be a sliver of hope.…

Imagine the scene: a young girl standing on a platform just to reach the…
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.
