I dropped my 17YO granddaughter off at the #Eugene #Amtrak station today for her to return home.

When her train rolled in, I was distressed to see such a ragged out, worn, dented, greasy, poor excuse for a train. All the cars and both engines (pusher and puller) looked like they had not been washed since 1983.

Having ridden the Frecciarossa fast trains in Italy (300 Km/h) and several sparkling and fast German and French trains, I was embarrassed by the #train the U.S. of A has to offer.

DHS officers have illegally fired tear gas at civilians in two Oregon cities in the past two days. In Portland, they fired into a cornered peaceful crowd with many children.

Abolish ICE is rapidly becoming the compromise position. I want prosecutions and impeachments.

#Trump mentioning my city... I somehow forget what he thinks of those others who broke into and damaged federal property and scared the workers there, on that Jan 6th day. Hmmm
