“Given the current climate—I mean, political situation—in Washington, I’m wondering whether highlighting [clean energy] is something we still want to do,” board member G. P. (Bud) Peterson asked today during the board’s review of the next edition of Science & Engineering Indicators, a biennial compendium of global trends in science and technology.
David Axelrod to CNN's Don Lemon: "Had there not been a leak [to the WashPost], Michael Flynn might yet be the national security adviser ... It was only the leak that provoked the White House to finally get rid of Flynn, when they should have fired him as soon as Sally Yates reported on the information that she had."

When the President released his budget in early March, things looked bleak for Audubon’s bird conservation priorities. Auduboners like you responded in force, asking your members of Congress to preserve critical programs (see related article, above). More than 38,000 individuals contacted their members of Congress about budget-related issues through our Action Center. Among them, 1,000 New Yorkers spoke out for Long Island Sound, also joining nearly 4,000 people from Great Lakes states to advocate on behalf of Great Lakes ecosystem restoration. And 2,550 Californians reached out to their members of Congress specifically about cuts to the EPA. Keeping vital conservation programs going through September is a huge victory—we’ll need to keep up the pressure as we look ahead to the next funding battle.
