« on: August 22, 2026, 09:53:25 AM »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.

The Athletic has us at 4-5 (7-5) middle of the pack. I'd be happy with another bowl against the SEC.

Young adulthood of the peak baby boomers was full of opportunity. (early 70's-early 80's) Couple that with initial widespread availability of the pill and Bingo!

Interesting read. I'm currently reading a book on the western expansion of the US and just finished several chapters on Texas. One of the primary drivers of their push to separate from Mexico was they were not going to let them keep their slaves. The US would though. Cotton was very big in early Texas.
