Without a doubt, railroad jobs have gotten worse, that is if you still have your job.

The quality of their service, meanwhile, has only deteriorated. They are, however, making record profits.

Captive to the interests of aggressive “activist” investors intent on extracting ever-more profit through stock buybacks and price-gouging, today’s Class I railroads have failed to meaningfully grow their volumes over the past two decades. The quality of their service, meanwhile,

The past several years have seen a level of greed, abuse, and dysfunction on the part of America’s largest railroad corporations that has many comparing them to the infamous Robber Barons of the late nineteenth century.

1. @openmarkets just filed an amicus brief in Trump v. Slaughter on whether the President has constitutional power to remove executive and administrative heads at will. We argue emphatically no.
Thank you to @jamietryhard for serving as our counsel of record!

Railroads do need to grow their traffic, but that’s not the real purpose behind the UP-NS merger.

If we want effective freight rail that helps us rebuild American manufacturing, we must revitalize regulations like common carrier that once stopped Gilded Age robber barons and financiers from crushing their competition -- and quality, affordability, and access along with it.
Our new interview with Phil Longman (@LongmanPhil) of @openmarkets adds a foundational layer to our “Reconnect America” vision for harnessing rail transport to address 21st century problems like deindustrialization, economic inequality, and polarization.

Passenger rail isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about connection, community, and opportunity. 🎙️ Dave Strohmaier joins Solutionary Rail’s #RailBite to discuss restoring long-distance rail in Montana & beyond. Listen here: tinyurl.com/27yzm4mp #ReconnectAmerica

I’m live from the US Capitol with Congressman Deluzio to introduce the All Aboard Act. Let’s get on track for a cleaner, greener, more connected future with rail. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1ypKdpQQY…

The ten fastest high-speed trains in Europe all use overhead wires. We're fighting to bring this to California, but NIMBYs, Class 1 railroads, and the hydrogen interests embedded in the governor's office want to keep this from you. railway-technology.com/featu…

It’s heartening to see your commitment to #railsafety - truly, it is. Yet, the influence of corporate PACs, including Norfolk Southern, raises questions. True accountability starts with transparency and independence from those who might derail it, figuratively and literally.

The Caesar sanctions are based on a Qatari and US intelligence scam, named for a CIA asset, and designed to starve and impoverish the Syrian population into oblivion
It is sadistic punishment for Syria’s refusal to bow to the West as so many other Arab nations have
US Passes Bill to extend Sanctions on Syria until 2032
“Congress is sending a message that it remains committed to justice for the Syrian people."
Chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee Mike McCaul said.
Mr Ghanem adds “If Caesar is allowed to expire, then it will be a whole new ballgame in #Syria and nothing would keep reconstruction in regime-controlled areas under the supervision of the regime from happening”.
What an odd form of justice for Syrians: block reconstruction and ensure poverty.

Theory: In the gaslight experience that is America 2024, anyone who cannot constantly lie to themselves will probably be driven insane if they actually care about anything real and also pay close attention to politics

How can you call for a ceasefire but keep sending weapons? We want more than words!

NOW: Pro-Palestine supporters in NYC protest outside of Joe Biden’s campaign reception.
This is one of three stops on Biden’s trip to New York City. Activists are demanding Biden take action and call for a ceasefire and end U.S. aid to Israel.

History teaches us valuable lessons if we’re willing to learn. Remember the timber communities hit hard by the Timber Wars over the spotted owl? Now, we have a chance to avoid a similar fate by taking a thoughtful approach to the Lower Snake River Dams. Let's learn from the past!

Railroads are indispensable to our way of life, but the fact remains there are 1,000+ derailments a year. Since the Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine, the Biden admin has pushed to improve rail safety for all. Here's how: transportation.gov/briefing-…

Ancient DC Dems like Reed think "Biden bombed more targets in the Middle East than Trump" is a winning campaign message
