The Trump administration is mandating that any studies or data from scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency undergo review by political appointees before they can be released to the public. It said scientific studies should eventually be communicated to the public, the media and Congress ?uncompromised by political or other interference?. The EPA?s 14-page scientific integrity document, enacted during the Obama administration, describes how scientific studies were to be conducted and reviewed in the agency. Former EPA staffers said on Wednesday the restrictions imposed under Trump far exceed the practices of past administrations. ?Scientific studies would be reviewed at the level of a branch or a division or laboratory,? said Gray, now professor of public health at George Washington University.

The law had been a cornerstone of Renzi?s broader reform plan and one he hoped would end decades of political instability.

Of Welsh origin, Mrs. Fillon has been known for her interest in horses and has been photographed with her family in and around the couple?s chateau in Western France.

Mr. Fillon, who won November?s center-right primary, has been considered a favorite in the race, but now must contend with questions about whether the payments to his wife were inappropriate.

Among the great draws of the Jaipur festival, of course, is that it is possible to be excluded. Among the festival?s designated victims was Suhel Seth, a ubiquitous man about town and one of Delhi?s master bloviators.
Mr Burney, along with former prime minister Brian Mulroney, have been advising the Trudeau government as they navigate the political transition in the US. "He said getting the personal relationship between Mr Trudeau and President Donald Trump "off on the right footing" can help, but so does listening the voices in Congress. Canada has not been the target of much of Mr Trump`s protectionist rhetoric, which has been directed mostly towards Mexico.

In addition to Duca?s gaslight story, Teen Vogue reports that a series on the Standing Rock pipeline protests, ?Ask a Native American Girl,? generated more than 8 million views on Facebook. It received widespread praise, including from veteran broadcaster Dan Rather, who described Teen Vogue as one of journalism?s ?surprising new sources of serious reporting? on his Facebook page after reading Duca?s dispatch. In a forceful commentary, Duca argued that Trump, through dissembling and contradictory claims, was responsible for undermining democracy.
