Trump administration pulls billions in funding for high-speed rail project
Briefly

The Trump administration has canceled $4 billion in funding for California's high-speed rail project following a compliance review that found no viable path forward. The Federal Railroad Administration's decision came after the state agency rejected the federal assessment of the project's shortcomings. Secretary Duffy attributed the project's failings to state leaders and their mismanagement. He criticized California's leaders for decades of wastefulness and incompetence. President Trump expressed his approval of the funding withdrawal, claiming it saves taxpayer money and referring to the project as a 'disastrously overpriced' venture.
After a decade of failures, CHSRA's mismanagement and incompetence has proven it cannot build its train to nowhere on time or on budget. It's time for this boondoggle to die.
Governor Newsom and the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste for years. Federal dollars are not a blank check - they come with a promise to deliver results.
