The High-Speed Rail Authority is claiming it's made "substantial progress" these last 17 years, despite laying literally zero track. The initial projection was 100 million riders a year by 2030. We now know the true number will be 0.

It was always just a scheme to fill the general fund. Both of the original contractors told the state that it was not possible to build due to massive regulations, but Newsom did not care, as it was never meant to be built.

They've been getting away with lies for years—no more. The evidence is crystal clear: no track has been laid.

The only thing “high speed” is the rinse cycle in this money laundering operation. The rich got richer.

If they'd made substantial progress for 17 years, they'd be done by now.

Chase the money. Who’s getting rich off this train? All that has been built is a lot graffiti walls waiting to be tagged.

The only substantial progress they've made is making politicians and developers wealthier off the backs of CA taxpayers.

The High-Speed Rail Authority is now claiming it's made "substantial progress to deliver high-speed rail in California." In fact, there has not been an inch of track laid in 17 years. The original promise was to have an LA to SF train operational by 2020.

In 2010 Gavin Newsom promised California was going to get it right with this high-speed rail. Well, 14 years later he is showing off the electric cars that will be used for the high-speed rail that is $100 Billion over budget with zero completion date on the horizon.

We're told High-Speed Rail is now "entering the track-laying phase." The entire LA-SF system was supposed to be done six years ago for $33 billion. There is still no actual track and costs may reach $231 billion. This is the worst infrastructure disaster in U.S. history.

We've finally brought accountability to CA High-Speed Rail. The state woefully failed its "compliance review" and stands to lose billions in funding. No track has been laid in 17 years, and the Rail Authority admits it will miss the 2033 deadline for a Bakersfield-Merced line.

Newsom just boasted that High-Speed Rail has "entered the track laying phase." In fact, no track has been laid and no passengers have been served. A project that was supposed to be done 5 years ago at a cost of $33 billion is on pace to take 100 years and cost $128 billion.

In 2008 Californians voted to approve Proposition 1A to build 800 miles of high speed rail. “By 2020 passenger service will begin on the Anaheim/Los Angeles to San Francisco backbone of the system” Here are some of the claims this Bill would deliver: * 600,000 construction jobs * 450,000 permanent jobs * Speeds of up to 220mph * Downtown LA to Downtown SF in 2 1/2 hours * Trains will carry 100 Million passengers a year by 2030 * First trains running by 2015 “Wikipedia” (🤪) says California has spent $11.2 BILLION in the last 17 years and there isn’t even a single piece of high speed track laid.

California’s high-speed rail has all the marks of a boondoggle: - $16 billion spent - 17 years gone - No high-speed track laid We have put California on notice: If you can’t deliver, American taxpayers will not fund your train to nowhere.

CA High-Speed Rail is the biggest public infrastructure failure in U.S. history. We've just passed legislation to make it ineligible for any further federal funding. The train was supposed to be done by 2020. Yet after 17 years and $17 billion, there's still no track.

Newsom just a held a celebration for a "major high-speed rail milestone." After 17 years and $17 billion, a single railhead has been completed in Kern County in the year 2026. The entire LA to SF train was supposed to be finished by 2020.

Newsom has been building the High Speed Rail for 17 YEARS! The project was promised to cost $33 billion and be completed by 2020. It’s now 2025, the project has ballooned up to at least $128 BILLION with timeline on completion. Californians cannot afford to continue building this train to nowhere. DEFUND THE HIGH SPEED RAIL! #FixCalifornia

The high speed rail in Gavin Newsom’s California will go down as the biggest case of taxpayer fraud in American history. Voters were promised a high speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 12 years at a cost of $33 billion. Now the project is a train from Bakersfield to Merced in 24 years at a cost of $135 billion. 16 years Billions of taxpayer dollars Zero track Reporting credit: Bess Byers reason

$Comparing the California High Speed Rail to Elon Musk’s SpaceX This is how criminally inefficient California's bureaucracy has become - The California High-Speed Rail Authority is 6 years older than SpaceX - Total private funding for SpaceX was $12 billion, whereas California's high-speed rail is projected to cost $231 billion by the time it's completed (That's 2,000% more funding than SpaceX had) In the same amount of time, California has laid zero miles of high-speed rails while SpaceX has developed a reusable rocket, delivered astronauts and saved astronauts from the International Space Station, and as of today has a $2.5 trillion market cap Elon Musk will literally have been able to send people to Mars at a fraction of the cost and at a fraction of the amount of time that it's taken Gavin Newsom just to send Californians up the coast$

Xavier Becerra now promises to finish high-speed rail "on time and on budget." Only one problem: "on time" was SIX YEARS AGO! The last thing we need is a governor who will double down on Gavin Newsom's biggest failures. Vote for change! ☀️

HIGH-SPEED RAIL UPDATE: Track for the first part of California’s High-Speed Rail project in the Central Valley is expected start being laid down next year, according to High-Speed Rail Authority Board Member Henry Perea. The news comes after the project’s board of directors moved forward with the bidding process to start laying down track in the Central Valley. But significant logistical and financial challenges remain for the full statewide route. The project is billions of dollars costlier than originally projected, and there is no estimated completion date for the full statewide route. Gov. Gavin Newsom wants the project to move forward. President Donald Trump and several legislative Republicans, including Senator Tony Strickland (R-Huntington Beach), believe the project is a waste of money. Where do you stand? Do you want the project to move forward or do you believe #highspeedrail should be derailed? Let me know.

The CA High Speed Trainwreck is a national embarrassment that is now going bankrupt. This was supposed to be done by 2020 for $33 B. 6 years past deadline, we have 0 trains, 0 track, and a price tag that has ballooned 700%. At best, it’s incompetence. At worst, it’s criminal. Shut this failed project down.
