Kevin Kiley, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 3rd district, recently shared a series of tweets regarding an investigation into the California High-Speed Rail project. These tweets outline his involvement in efforts to reassess federal funding allocated to the project and highlight some public reactions.

On February 20, 2025, Kevin Kiley announced via Twitter that he joined U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to initiate an investigation into the California High-Speed Rail project. He stated that this could potentially lead to reclaiming $4.3 billion in federal funds. Kiley noted that "a few protestors showed up in support of the boondoggle" during this announcement, which he described as "the worst." The full tweet can be accessed here.

The following day, on February 21, 2025, Kiley tweeted about plans to investigate the financial management of the High-Speed Rail project further. He emphasized intentions to "reclaim the billions Biden gave the project on his way out" and expressed determination to "cut off all further federal funding," aiming to end what he referred to as a debacle once and for all. The original post is available here.

Later on February 21, 2025, Kiley mentioned another incident involving protesters during their announcement of the investigation. He described how one protester was dressed as a dinosaur while another threw a tomato at Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo. Kiley commented on these actions by stating: "This is the company Newsom and HSR apologists keep." This tweet can be found here.
