Some professional news- after nearly four years at the @DailyCaller News Foundation, I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be headed to @NEWSMAX as Washington Bureau Chief & SVP for News.     

Grateful for what we built at DCNF and excited to help grow a multi-platform newsroom in this next chapter!

As free marketers, we believe a carrier should be able to charge what the market will bear. But that doesn't mean we can't complain about the price and encourage @Amtrak to be more reasonable in their pricing, which has needlessly driven people away from the rails for decades.

Is this a joke @Amtrak

Many thanks to all who have served this great Nation in the Uniformed Services of the U.S. Military. From America's founding, so many of these individuals have sacrificed for all of us. For that, we extend our sincere thanks & devotion. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Following @UPS 2976 crash, @FAANews ordered the grounding of the MD-11 aircraft.

Given the tech advancements that have taken place since the last MD-11 first took flight, should maintenance & structural problems now be easier to identify?

We've been away for a while...but @EconPatrick did a great job talking about why U.S. Railroads shouldn't be stopped in their efforts to modernize. Check out his great piece here!

Conrail helped Congress & Jimmy Carter understand why de-regulating railroads was important to America. Learn more about the early years here from @RailwayAge.

[All Things Trains @AllAboardMedia]

Conrail's 49th anniversary is coming up soon, so check out this article in @RailwayAge about Big Blue's early years, including a downloadable copy of a book by Stephen Frasher. We'll be covering this next month in the Book Club, so do your reading!

Is Tony Soprano running the @MTA? It sure sounds like it, with the public agency threatening taxpayers with service disruptions, if they don't agree to throw more money down the public agency's financial hole. From @nypost:

Interesting developments in European Air Freight make us ask if similar changes could happen here in the US. From @FreightWaves:

Space Transportation...is Transportation! Do you share our view that the presence of @elonmusk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' @blueorigin will see more humans in space...and more innovation on planet Earth?

President Trump has appointed new leadership @FAA, who comes with a private sector background that includes airlines you have likely traveled on, including Mesaba and Frontier. From @politico:

We disagree with the idea of more state-sponsored transit services. They are unresponsive to riders, not to mention being expensive money pits...yet Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers is attempting to build a bigger such pit in the Milwaukee-area.

"The zero-tariff policy would open an EU-style common market and travel zone that would not only include our fellow North American countries, but also overseas nations such as England and Japan. The benefits would be immediate and significant." #Tariffs

“zero tariffs, zero subsidies, and zero trade barriers among all nations with which the U.S. engages in commerce...would be a significant booster to President Trump’s efforts to foster a new Golden Age of America..."

On this St. Patrick's Day, we would love for @realDonaldTrump and @leemzeldin to claw back absurd #GreenNewDeal funding and spend that money on infrastructure projects to improve our ability to ship & travel from Point A to Point B.
