Safety’s important, but the feds shouldn't micromanage private railroads into a slow-motion disaster.

Safety first, but let’s keep regulations practical and not tied up in red tape.

More regulations? Yes, please. Lives > loopholes every single time.

DERAIL Act: Because ignoring toxic train spills won’t magically make them disappear.

About time Congress put safety before profits—these trains aren't fire hazards, they're potential disasters waiting to happen.

Regulations sound nice until they put freight jobs on the sidelines and prices up at the pump.

moderate 01/31/2025

Good to see lawmakers aiming for timely reports; now let’s hope they enforce it, too.

Another layer of government rules for trains—because adding bureaucracy always makes things safer, right?

If trains carry toxic gases, we deserve to know before it’s too late—transparency isn’t a partisan game.
