“BREAKING: It happened - President Trump officially CANCELS funding for California Governor Gavin Newsom’s failed “high speed train” project.”
Trump might just win back MAGA.
Yes! Thank you, Mr. President.
If the Epstein scandal drags on long enough, we might see a lot of good work get done.
I thought he already cut funding for the train in his first term.
He did. Then Biden gave it back to Newsom.
If California wants to foot the bill, have at it.
I bet they don’t want it bad enough to complete it with their own money.
Maybe Disney will give them a grant to finish the project. Call the train the “Goofy Express.”
Excellent!
Yay! Billions poured horn that ray hole for nothing except graft and political
Corruption
Let it stay cancelled. No more mulligans!
I knew the ‘Speed Train” was unworkable back when Gov. Jerry Brown was raving about it.
Some filthy judge will overturn it.
Newscum, Newscam
Trump has him well pegged, He’s finished!
In other news Kalifornia will run a 12+ billion $ budget shortfall next year. Kalifornia's reserve fund has been cut in half in two years. Kalifornia's unfunded liabilities to State employees is 1.5 trillion dollars.
Whoo whoo Do ya hear that whistle that’s just been nixed?
I figure that it’s engine number 86
She’s the only one that’ll sound that way
On the Burbank, Bakersfield and the Santa Fe.
Lol. Screwed it up

Good move.
“Trump might just win back MAGA.”
This, plus his English-only EO ... you might be right.
Protesters chant ‘Build the rail!’
The other side:
Dozens of protesters gathered outside where the briefing took place and were vocal about their thoughts on what was being said. The crowd could be heard chanting “Duffy go home!” and “Build the rail!” as Republican officials answered questions from reporters.
“I want to address the protesters for a moment. If I could, I think they were chanting, ‘build a rail.’ It’s been 17 years, and $16 billion, and no rail has been built. So, if you want to go protest somewhere, if you want to shout at someone, go to the governor’s mansion, go talk to Democrats in the legislature who have brought us this crappy project,” Duffy said.
He added that protesters “should all be at the steps of Gavin Newsom’s mansion” if they wanted answers about the future of the project.
“So, if you want to go protest somewhere, if you want to shout at someone, go to the governor’s mansion, go talk to Democrats in the legislature who have brought us this crappy project,”
“Hundreds of Billions” ?
excessive exaggeration does not help
