I'm optimistic (and perhaps naive) but I don't think Vance's claim will stick. Vanishingly few people saw think Alex Pretti was a "far left agitator." And the idea that this is unique to MPLS will become extremely difficult to believe as more people push back against ICE.
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

A few facts:
Amtrak is a public enterprise, but its leaders don’t treat it as a public service
Amtrak has historically lacked the funding to substantially increase capacity (e.g., with more & longer trains)
Amtrak providing affordable tickets on the NEC would mean less profit for the agency

Amtrak over the last few years has expanded its use of dynamic pricing, a system that rewards early planners and charges a premium for flexibility and last-minute travel. Critics of Amtrak’s approach say a taxpayer-supported service should not behave like a moody algorithm.
Travel Math: When Flying Costs as Much as the Train, Who Wins?
Amtrak says dynamic pricing has helped strengthen its finances, but travelers often grumble at the cost, especially for last-minute travel. Still, the train has a secret weapon: avoiding the airport.

It’s not an accident either, because they keep doing it.

If we really want to cut down on traffic congestion, then extend the SAS past 125 and deep into NJ. This would easily serve 150k-200k daily riders and eliminate 100k+ car trips.

High school students fix up cars, then hand the keys to single mothers
“Kids who never met me cared about me enough to put hard work into a vehicle to make sure myself and my kids were safe,” said Jessica Rader.
