Mark Ruffalo is calling for higher taxes on the wealthy, arguing that billionaires and major corporations should shoulder more of the cost of public programs. “The rich can handle it… trust me,” Ruffalo said, urging lawmakers to tax billionaires and large corporations to help fund childcare, housing, and public transit. He added that working people shouldn’t be the ones constantly paying the bill while wealth at the top continues to grow. The actor has long been outspoken on economic inequality, and his latest comments are reigniting debate over whether the U.S. should impose higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy to fund social programs.

Twenty camels were disqualified from the 2026 Camel Beauty Festival in Al-Musannah, Oman, after veterinarians found cosmetic enhancements like Botox and fillers.

Experts warn U.S. gasoline prices could climb sharply in the coming weeks as crude oil surges amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Global benchmarks like Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) have jumped above $100 per barrel, the highest level in more than three years, following military strikes involving the **** and **** against ****. Analysts say disruptions and fears around key shipping routes—especially the ****, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply—are driving the spike. Some forecasts suggest the U.S. national average for gasoline could rise above $5 per gallon if tensions continue. Energy analysts like **** say the probability of further increases is high if supply concerns persist. Meanwhile, **** defended the rising prices in a social media post, calling them a “very small price to pay” for security and stability. Officials including **** have attempted to calm markets, saying the price surge could last “weeks, not months.” Data from **** already shows gasoline averages climbing rapidly, with recent weekly increases of more than 10%, largely driven by higher crude costs and refining margins. Economists warn that if supply disruptions continue, higher fuel costs could ripple through the broader economy, increasing inflation and placing added pressure on household budgets. #OilPrices #GasPrices #EnergyCrisis #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #Economy #WorldNews
