The U.S. transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, said the government would conduct a “compliance review” on a $3.1 billion grant for California’s high-speed rail, potentially threatening the viability of the project.

California should secede. They don't need to be kicked around by a bunch of Neandertal boneheads. A country comprised of blue states would be far more affluent than one of red states. The red states could keep their red hats, their twisted version of religion, misogyny and tribalism. Who needs it.
Here we go w/the BS, again.😡🤬
How bout making sure air traffic control is properly staffed, to avoid planes dropping out the sky & crashes on the tarmac, genius? Clearly, public safety is not a priority these days.🫤
Gov JB Pritzker's speech is a shining example of how every democratic politician should respond to the Trump administration dismantling of the US constitution.
Trump is going to damage international trade, and interstate commerce, the resulting financial decline will make Trump's friends (Putin, Orban, Xi) very happy.
The Trump regime is not about “making America great” but solely about revenge. Revenge to his enemies. Revenge to anyone or anything that stood up to ManBaby. Revenge to anything associated with Biden or Obama. Revenge to progressivism. Revenge to anything good !
Go ahead, Sean Duffy. Review to your hearts content.We spent that money long ago.
Those luddites are why we're 40 years behind the industrialized world. Most of which have had high speed rail for decades. Japan, France, China, Russia and the U.K. are ahead thanks to shortsighted, cheap politicians.
Independent voter, anti Trumper and lifelong Californian here. California high speed rail is a troubled project with no clear completion date or use case. A review and tough questioning is long overdue.
Elon tried to kill this with his fake Boring Company promises of a Tesla tunnel that, surprise, he never delivered after wasting taxpayer money on it. Now he’s going to kill it with his dick doge crew.
Trump voters in Nevada this what you voted for? That project was gonna mean billions in construction jobs and fill all the hotel rooms on the strip and downtown. At least there won’t be any trans people on the train.
Different beast
The Vegas train is privately funded (although it may have some federal support)
This is for the SF to LA line (or, more accurately, the Bakersfield to Fresno HSR) which is mostly funded by the state anyway
The Vegas high speed rail train aka Brightline West received a $3 billion grant from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to fund construction from Vegas to LA.
In the #2026 every member of the #gop needs to be voted out. In 2026 #revokemuskcitizenship should occur. In 2026 #trump and #jdvance should be impeached, removed from office and placed in jail. In 2026 the Constitution should be amended to bar convicted criminals from any office.
Oh we'll get our trains eventually but it'll be more like they had in 1940s Germany. How else are they gonna ship us out to those farms for people "addicted" to antidepressants?

It is very expensive to stop and start these huge projects.
Trump is just wasting taxpayer money for political theater
There are no where near enough of chargers unless you have one in your garage.
At busy times, have you ever been in a gas line. A charger line exists. No fumes tho.
And, Teslas catch on fire. They do not scale.
"Tesla became eligible for a portion of the $7.5 billion allocated for EV charging infrastructure under the federal program."
