FB source A White House email just surfaced in court ordering five federal agencies to plan "immediate actions" against Colorado. The next day, hundreds of millions in grants for the state were canceled.

The document is a White House email dated December 15, 2025, sent by special assistant Emily Underwood under the subject line "brainstorm call."

It summoned officials from the Departments of Transportation, Agriculture, Interior and Energy, plus the Office of Management and Budget, to a call that same afternoon. "Please come prepared to discuss immediate actions that your department or agency can take with respect to Colorado," Underwood wrote. "Please do not forward this invitation or include others on the call without discussing with me first."

It went out days after Trump posted on Truth Social that he was granting a full pardon to Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk sentenced to nine years for tampering with the county's election systems after 2020. He has no power to pardon her. Her convictions are state crimes.

Colorado then lost Space Command headquarters to Alabama, with Trump citing the state's mail-in voting. He vetoed a bill to bring clean water to southeastern Colorado and said he did it because Gov. Jared Polis is a "bad governor." The administration moved to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder and rejected disaster relief for rural counties hit by floods and wildfires.

At an August 11 discovery hearing in Colorado's lawsuit, U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson read the email aloud. "I've never seen anything like it. I've never even imagined something like it," he said. "That's not the country I think we live in."

Justice Department lawyer Adam Fox called the state's request for communications about actions or threats against Colorado "unbelievably unduly burdensome." Jackson asked him whether there are so many such communications that finding them all is a burden, then ordered the Executive Office of the President to produce them.

This brain drain has a lot of pissed off voters here. Anyone else notice that their weather apps are sucking worse now than ever? Oh, and there's no clamoring by the elephants running to get a Trump endorsement or appearance. Ted Cruz smoked him here in 2016 and he's even less popular now.

DOGE fired all the purported DEI hires in the NWS. Turns out they were the only competent weather people there. Figures! Thanks, Trump and Tempo (since he bankrolls Elon Musk)!

Duffy told Paloma she didn’t have to believe what he believes, but he did not think that Havard gives students a “well-rounded picture” of competing ideas.

Paloma’s response was remarkably mature. “But I went to an extremely conservative school in high school,” she said, “and I’m part of an extremely conservative family, and then if I go to a liberal setting, that’s a way more well-rounded education than if I go to a conservative high school and then go to a conservative college.”

“But they’re so good at it,” Duffy replied. “You’ll see young people go to a conservative school with a conservative family, and they get perverted and contorted.”
