That deletion doesn’t sanitize this bill by a long shot. Ut needs to be shut down in the Senate.

"The Senate parliamentarian ruled the $140 million appropriation wasn’t allowed under the so-called Byrd rule that polices unrelated items in budget reconciliation bills."

Never mind that Congress cannot justify the subway under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-very limited powers.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

There’s also $70 million going to Honolulu’s failed rail project (the most expensive transportation project per mile in U.S. history).

It’s a Bart extension in San Jose, not her district so why is she bemoaning San Francisco’s drop in usage of the local bus and rail cars? It’s an unemployment thing. Fund unemployment, not the trains

“Byrd rule”..? But he’s a KKK racist. Anything he ever did needs to be cancelled.

Kinda surprised the media hasn’t quietly changed that “D” after his name to “R”.

Whatever happened to the pay as you go rule? Another law to be used capriciously?

Pay as you go would mean they’d have to cut the budget elsewhere to fit this in.

No such thing ever seems to happen, except for a couple things Trump supported.
