A general view shows the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on January 10, 2026. Two lawsuits are calling to halt the closure of the Center for renovations. Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex-officio trustee, is also asking for the removal of President Trump's name from the Center, an act that was not approved by Congress.
Since the name change, artists have cancelled performances and ticket sales have declined.

Sledge Taylor, 73, walks his corn fields just outside Como, Mississippi on Friday, April 17, 2026. The corn stalks are currently between vegetative stages known as V3 and V5, normally when Taylor would be applying nitrogen fertilizer.

Various species of sharks, some of which are endangered, while others are listed as vulnerable, hauled on shore at dawn by commercial fishermen at the Tanjung Luar port on Monday, June 9, 2025, in East Lombok, Indonesia. Tanjung Luar is one of the largest shark markets in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, from where shark fins are exported to other Asian markets, primarily Hong Kong and China, was bones are used in cosmetic products also sold to China. Shark meat and skins are consumed locally as an important source of protein. In recent years, facing heavy criticism because of the unregulated shark fishing industry, the Indonesian government has sought to bring in stricter controls over commercial hunting of sharks in an attempt to balance the needs of fishermen as well as the need to protect dwindling shark populations.

One emerging hypothesis as to why some people get food allergies is that food particles first get into the body through a disrupted skin barrier, and the immune system in turn tags food proteins as an invader—something to be fought. Cavan Images/Getty Images hide caption
