President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is ending federal funding for California's high-speed rail project.
The announcement followed the release of a Transportation Department report from the Federal Railroad Administration that cited missed deadlines, budget shortfalls and questionable ridership projections.
"Thanks to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, not a SINGLE penny in Federal Dollars will go towards this Newscum SCAM ever again," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, referring to his nickname for Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
