"a spokesperson said in an email that the California High Speed Rail Authority has declared the federal government is not a reliable, constructive or trustworthy partner in advancing high speed rail in California. Really. The state of California has squandered billions of tax dollars and most of two decades of planning and construction in a failed attempt to build high-speed rail in California."
"Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez should resign. He furthered antisemitism by reposting comments that Israel caused the Bondi Beach tragedy, shades of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in history. He said he was mistaken, but an elected official should know world affairs. If Martinez opposes violence, why didn't he condemn Hamas' brutal attack in Israel in 2023? Why hasn't he condemned the Hamas charter, which calls for eradicating Jews?And why, at a conference this year, did he wear a hat advocating death to Israel's defense forces?"
The California High Speed Rail Authority declared the federal government an unreliable partner after the state abandoned a lawsuit. California has spent billions and nearly two decades on planning and partial construction without delivering high-speed rail. Taxpayers are called to demand stopping the project to avoid further waste, deficits, and diversion of public transit funds. Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez is accused of promoting antisemitism by reposting claims blaming Israel for the Bondi Beach tragedy and by failing to condemn Hamas' 2023 attack or its charter. He reportedly wore a hat at a conference advocating death to Israel's defense forces, prompting calls for his resignation.
