The absolute devastation that @chuckschumer.com is about to inflict on D.C. by supporting the GOP’s continuing resolution is hard to overstate. Massive cuts to schools and law enforcement. Teachers laid off en masse. Basic city services may grind to a halt because we *cannot spend our own money.*

That’s why I wanted to do it! Since I’d be traveling alone & on a tiny budget, it doesn’t make sense for me right now. Maybe next year, if I’m still getting SSDI… My aunt & uncle have traveled from Vancouver to Toronto on the Canadian rail line and loved it.

I looked at taking the train cross-country. It’s wicked expensive to get anything besides the cheap seats and it takes 2 days

They’ve really worked on building it up in MA in the past few years. The one I clicked on is the one that burned.
