Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump.
His investment worked. He is now $438 billion richer.
Now, he wants to buy Congress by spending $100 million to keep Republicans in control.
We must fight oligarchy. Defeat Musk. Preserve democracy.
Imagine traveling from New York to Washington in under an hour, Dallas to Houston in 90 minutes, or Los Angeles to San Francisco in under three. it's already reality in countries around the world, America is falling behind countries like China.
#HighSpeedRail
Today, Grand Central Terminal served as the backdrop for a special commemoration of America's 250th anniversary alongside the renowned United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon.
Visitors also had the opportunity to see Metro-North's Locomotive 250, created in honor of America's 250th anniversary, and Locomotive 216, which pays tribute to our nation's veterans.
Imagine this:
You grab a coffee in downtown Chicago at 8AM.
By noon, you’re walking through Central Park in New York City.
No TSA lines. No traffic. No layovers.
Just smooth, quiet, 220 mph high-speed rail.
This isn’t science fiction.
It’s the future we deserve.

America: We can't afford high-speed rail!
Also America: Spends $850 billion on defense and still can't win a war against potholes.

I think the big goal for Amtrak should be focusing on shorter corridors with more frequent service that's relatively fast (90 - 110mph) Rather than building out a bunch of slow long distance trains:

Boomers got moon landings, Concordes, and 747s.
We got… crumbling Amtrak and ‘maybe someday’ high-speed rail.
We’re not asking for the stars. We just want trains that don’t take longer than a car.

Playland Park is open for the season! Let Metro-North be your ride to summer fun ☀️
Take the train to Rye station, then transfer to the BeeLine #75 bus.
BREAKING: New data reveals the money being spent on Trump’s military parade could feed every single homeless veteran in America for more than four months. What an insulting and wasteful use of resources.
On May 16, a deadly tornado damaged 16,000 structures and killed five residents in St. Louis, Missouri.
Trump has yet to send federal aid to rebuild there.
USA:
• 79 mph max
• Long delays are guaranteed
• Sparse, outdated
Elsewhere:
• 200+ mph
�� 99% on time, delays measured in SECONDS
• Fast, clean, everywhere
We deserve better. Build it here.

It took me 5 hours and 30 minutes to get to Providence from New York due to train equipment and track issues. Meanwhile, high-speed rail in Spain could make the same trip in 70 minutes. I’m done debating whether we should have fast trains in this country, it’s just embarrassing.
