Senate GOP seethes at Trump impulsiveness
Top GOP officials and senators say White House chaos and impulsiveness are crippling efforts to expand the Republican Senate majority in 2018, unraveling long-laid plans and needlessly jeopardizing incumbents.
There's a widespread sense of exasperation with the president, interviews with nearly two dozen senior Republicans reveal, and deep frustration with an administration they believe doesn’t fully grasp what it will take to preserve the narrow majority or add to it.
Trump’s Abstinence Queen Has a Tarnished Record
With Huber’s pick, and a proposed 2018 budget committing $277 million to abstinence-only education, the White House seemed to signal to its conservative base the scientifically dubious “Just Say No” brand of sex education was back, and now one of its staunchest believers would be helping to man the helm.

Unregulated chemicals may be stunting ozone recovery, new study suggests
According to new research in England, several unregulated chemicals may be delaying the recovery of the ozone.
The depletion of the ozone in the 1970s and 80s was caused by the proliferation of chlorofluorocarbons, chlorine derivatives used in aerosol cans, refrigerators and many other products and appliances. After the 1987 passage of the Montreal Protocol, the first treaty unanimously ratified by all members of the United Nations, CFCs were almost entirely phased out.
A number of recent studies have detailed the slow but steady recovery of the ozone layer over the last three decades, but the latest study suggests there is room for improvement.
South Africa approves export of 800 lion skeletons this year
Some 800 skeletons of captive-bred lions can be legally exported from South Africa this year, the government said Wednesday, meeting demand for the bones in parts of Asia while alarming critics who believe the policy threatens Africa's wild lions.

Trump lawyer Sekulow directed millions to family with nonprofits: report
More than 15,000 Americans were losing their jobs each day in June 2009, as the US struggled to climb out of a painful recession following its worst financial crisis in decades.

Fake Trump ‘Time’ Magazine Covers Hang in His Golf Clubs
“I can confirm that this is not a real TIME cover,” Kerri Chyka, a spokeswoman for Time Inc., wrote in an email to the Post.
There was, in fact, no Time cover on the date stated on the front of that fake cover, March 1, 2009.
One of the clubs where the fake cover resides is the Trump National in Virginia. Since becoming president, Trump has visited the club on multiple occasions, including this past weekend. As The Washington Post reported, a photo of Trump dining with former NFL star Peyton Manning and Republican Senator Bob Corker earlier this month showed the president actually sitting facing the Time cover.
Overnight Energy: Trump moves to repeal Obama water rule
The Trump administration took formal action Tuesday toward repealing the Obama administration’s controversial regulation that extended the reach of the federal government over small waterways.
Under the proposal from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers, federal officials would go back to enforcing a guidance document from 2008 when deciding whether a waterway is subject to federal oversight for pollution control purposes.
