SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 13: A person takes a photo of a sea lion at La Jolla cove on August 13, 2026 in San Diego, California. A current off-cycle Trump administration NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) review of California’s coastline management authority is being opposed by many state leaders who fear changes to the program could strip state oversight and clear the way for increased offshore drilling, rocket launches, and coastal industrialization. For more than 50 years, the Coastal Zone Management Act has permitted coastal states, including California, to review federal projects along their coastlines. According to the California Coastal Commission, the state’s coast and ocean economy generates $51 billion per year. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Five years since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, Gavshon said "When the Taliban first took over, the loss of foreign assistance really accelerated the financial collapse and humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan. But since then, the withdrawal of foreign assistance from the US and the UK has really deepened and worsened the crisis". (Photo by DAVID GRAY / AFP via Getty Images)
