“These are funds that Congress appropriated and the president obligated,” she said in a statement. “They cannot be legally withdrawn.” Trump's illegal move to revoke #HSR funding from CA is an attempt to"kill thousands of good, family-supporting jobs our state desperately needs. We stand with @GavinNewsom to vigorously defend these funds & the #HSR project that’s so vital to California’s future." -- @ArtPulaski
