The New England Patriots are helping bring America The New England Patriots are helping bring Americans home — with a little help from their team jet. The Patriots aircraft was used by the U.S. State Department to evacuate Americans from the Middle East as the joint U.S.–Israeli military campaign against Iran entered its seventh day. Dylan Johnson, the State Department’s assistant secretary for global public affairs, posted a photo on X showing Americans boarding the charter flight — an aircraft dubbed “AirKraft” that prominently features the Patriots logo and images of the franchise’s six Super Bowl trophies. “Americans boarding one of the many State Department charter flights leaving the Middle East to the U.S.,” Johnson wrote. “This plane landed safely this morning in Washington.” According to the State Department, the flight touched down in Washington, D.C. early Friday after departing the Middle East with Americans seeking to leave the region amid escalating tensions. Johnson said roughly 24,000 American citizens have safely returned to the United States from the Middle East since Feb. 28, though that number does not include Americans who relocated to other countries or are still in transit back to the U.S. President Donald J. Trump also highlighted the evacuation effort Friday in a post on Truth Social, saying the U.S. is quietly moving large numbers of Americans out of the region. “We are moving thousands of people out of various Countries throughout the Middle East,” Trump wrote. “It is being done quietly, but seamlessly. The State Department, under Secretary Marco Rubio, is doing a great job!” The State Department is urging Americans who still need help leaving the Middle East to contact its 24-hour emergency hotline at +1-202-501-4444. #patriots #donaldjtrump #newportbuzz
Drivers are getting hit at the pump again. The na Drivers are getting hit at the pump again. The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline jumped nearly 27 cents in just one week, climbing to $3.25 per gallon, as rising tensions in the Middle East push crude oil prices higher. The spike brings gas prices back to where they were in early April 2025, reversing months of relatively stable fuel costs. According to new data, the national average now stands at $3.251, up sharply from $2.983 last week and $2.891 one month ago. A year ago, the average price was $3.107. The last time drivers saw a similar week-to-week surge was March 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent global energy markets into turmoil. Crude oil prices are now hovering in the mid-$70 per barrel range, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closing Wednesday at $74.66, up 10 cents during the session. Seasonal factors are also adding pressure at the pump. Gas prices typically rise in the spring as fuel demand increases and refineries switch to more expensive summer-blend gasoline ahead of the busy travel season. Even as prices climb, gasoline demand actually fell last week, dropping from 8.73 million barrels per day to 8.29 million, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Domestic gasoline supplies also declined slightly, falling from 254.8 million barrels to 253.1 million barrels, while refinery production increased to 9.3 million barrels per day. Meanwhile, U.S. crude inventories rose by 3.5 million barrels, bringing total stockpiles to 439.3 million barrels, about 3% below the five-year average for this time of year. Regional prices vary widely across the country. The average price for a gallon of gas in Rhode Island sits at $3.158, slightly below the national average, while Florida drivers are paying about $3.353 per gallon. With geopolitical tensions simmering and the summer travel season approaching, analysts warn drivers may not see relief anytime soon.
