Trump is a vengeful bully, and he’s taking it out on Colorado.

Dismantling NCAR and canceling millions in transportation and energy grants is indefensible – and we won’t stand by and watch it happen.

President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless.

We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.
