Late-summer surge: COVID cases rise across 48 states, map shows

CDC data through Aug. 26 show COVID-19 infections rising in 48 states, with overall levels still very low but a clear late-summer uptick; Iowa did not report data, while Rhode Island and Washington, DC remained steady. Wastewater monitoring points to higher activity in the South and West (Texas at very high, Mississippi high, several states moderate), consistent with a recurring summer surge driven by behavior, environment and waning immunity.

Gas Prices Jump 44% Since Iran War, With Midwest Hit Hardest

U.S. gas prices have surged about 44% above February 2026 pre-war baselines due to the Iran War, adding roughly $1.25 per gallon on average and about $560 in annual fuel costs per vehicle. The steepest percentage gains—well over 60%—occur in the Midwest and Mountain West (Iowa up 69.1%, Oklahoma 68.8%, etc.), while states with higher starting prices (California, Hawaii, Washington) rose less in percentage terms but remain the costliest per gallon. The rise followed a global oil-supply disruption from Hormuz closure, with roughly 10 million barrels per day off the market. The analysis uses AAA data and emphasizes the broader economy’s sensitivity to crude prices, plus reasons why some high-price states saw smaller percentage increases (taxes, climate policies, blending rules, shipping constraints).

Distance, Not Price: Wyoming Tops U.S. Monthly Gas Bills

A Voronoi visualization estimates monthly gas costs by state using April 15, 2026 prices and average miles driven at 25.6 mpg. Wyoming leads at about $279 per month largely due to long drives (roughly 1,830 miles per month), while New York spends about $132 monthly because of dense, shorter trips (around 817 miles per month). The national average is about $190. The main insight is that distance traveled, not just gas prices, drives most Americans’ fuel bills, with rural states typically paying more despite lower prices.

A Voronoi visualization maps 2026 average monthly ACA Silver-plan premiums by state, with Vermont highest at $1,224; the national average is $752 (up 21% from 2025) as subsidies expire and insurers raise costs. Vermont also spends about 19.6% of income on healthcare, more than triple the U.S. average of 7.9%. Maryland has the lowest premiums at $480, while other states range up to about $1,100 (Wyoming $1,119; West Virginia $1,093). Alaska is the only state with a premium decline year over year; substantial increases occur in Nebraska (29%), Illinois (30%), Florida (33%), Connecticut (21%), and Louisiana (26%).

Haley's Honest and Unifying Stance on Abortion Strengthens Republicans

Haley's Honest and Unifying Stance on Abortion Strengthens Republicans

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley urged Republicans to be "honest" about the country's stance on abortion restrictions, emphasizing that it is up to the states to decide how they handle abortion rights. Haley called for finding consensus and avoiding division on the issue, acknowledging that passing a federal abortion ban would require 60 Senate votes. Her more moderate stance comes as anti-abortion forces face defeats at the state level, including Ohio's passage of a referendum codifying abortion rights in the state constitution. Other candidates expressed differing views, with some supporting a state-by-state approach and others advocating for a federal abortion ban. Republicans have struggled with their messaging on abortion since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
