This would not be the first time Trump (or assorted other RW powers) drop a case as soon as it becomes clear how much discovery will reveal. Eg, the Fox News Network paid three-quarters of a billion dollars rather than let what Dominion had from discovery go public.

A number of people have reported that the real reason Trump is dismantling NCAR is to punish Colorado's governor for not releasing Tina Peters from jail. Peters is the former Mesa County clerk and "the 2020 election was stolen" fanatic who was convicted of several state crimes associated with her providing unauthorized persons access to the voting machines in her care, and that person breaking the seals, opening the covers, and tinkering with the insides.
I skimmed some of the stories in the Wyoming press. Wyoming's Congress critters either did not respond to questions, or said that they had not heard from the administration about the fate of the supercomputer center in Wyoming.

The administration announced they will be dismantling the National Center for Atmospheric Research because "This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country." Last summer I toured NCAR's supercomputer center in Cheyenne, WY. The center provides free access to supercomputer resources to hundreds/thousands of university earth sciences researchers who would not otherwise have access to that sort of computing power. The center is jointly funded by the NSF and the State of Wyoming (U of Wyoming researchers get priority scheduling for time on the machines).
I found the data portion of the center as interesting as the processing part. The center includes curated content from the massive set of atmosphere and ocean observations collected by NOAA. On the tour, they would open one of the rack doors and let me stick my nose in with the processing blades. The data facility was inside two layers of bulletproof glass.

Hegseth has proposed a plan to significantly reduce the number of four-star generals. The proposal appears to be consistent with the recently released National Security Strategy: increase the focus on the Americas and reduce attention to Europe.
