US pump prices set to climb as new Trump tariffs kick in
Gasoline prices in the US are expected to rise in the coming weeks. This is due to new tariffs imposed by President Trump’s administration on imports from Mexico, Canada and China. These tariffs are intended to boost the US economy, but could lead to higher costs for consumers. Prices in the Northeast, which relies heavily on Canadian fuel, could increase by 20 to 40 cents a gallon. The Midwest might see a 10 to 15 cent rise. Patrick De Haan, a GasBuddy analyst, says the Northeast will see significant price hikes first. Industry representatives oppose the tariffs, saying they won’t lower costs for consumers.

DC to remove Black Lives Matter mural after Republican lawmaker threatens funding cuts
Washington mayor says Black Lives Matter Plaza near White House to be redesigned
Washington DC will repaint the Black Lives Matter mural near the White House, announced Mayor Muriel Bowser. This follows threats from Republican lawmakers to cut transportation funding if the mural wasn’t removed. The mural, created during the 2020 protests after George Floyd’s death, became a symbol of defiance. Bowser stated “the mural inspired millions, but now we can’t afford distractions from congressional interference.” This move is part of a larger trend where Republicans aim to reduce DC’s autonomy, potentially impacting its push for statehood.

A Plane Just Achieved Supersonic Flight Without the Sonic Boom
Boom Supersonic has achieved a groundbreaking feat: supersonic flight without the noisy sonic boom. During a test flight over the Mojave Desert, their XB-1 plane broke the sound barrier without the usual loud noise. This was made possible using a method called Mach Cutoff, which directs the sound waves upward, preventing them from reaching the ground. CEO Blake Scholl said, “We confirmed that XB-1 made no audible sonic boom.” While this technology is promising, it’s not yet economically viable. The future of quiet faster-than-sound travel is on the horizon, but not here yet.
