Round #1 to small, captive shippers that would be crushed by this proposed merger. Yes, we know a new application will be filed in a month in all likelihood but this STB application rejection was necessary. Transparency is so desperately needed.
Today the STB issued a unanimous decision finding the UP-NS major merger application is incomplete because it does not contain certain information required by the Board's regulations. Under the law, the Board therefore must reject the application. This decision is based solely on

Totally agree, Coach. But can’t we agree that he would be awesome as the NY Giants head coach? We need some coaching love in the Big Apple and Harbaugh would be awesome!!!
I can’t believe what things have come to in the NFL. John Harbaugh has coached the Baltimore Ravens for 18 years. He took them to the playoffs 12 times. He won a Super Bowl for them. The last 4 years they were 10-7, 13-4, 12-5, 8-9. They made the playoffs 3 straight years and

If the Giants don’t extend an offer this evening they are officially dead to me!
Sources: John Harbaugh is expected to emerge as a favorite for the head coaching job of the New York Giants. Harbaugh will be in demand for many teams, not just the Giants.

Always great having @ACD_chem member Richard Erstad from Hawkins Inc. in town to visit with folks on the Hill. Opposition to this proposed rail merger between UP & NS is gaining momentum!

Anyone do a wellness check on @finebaum after his beloved Crimson Tide got crushed by them Dawgs? Keep bashing those Dawgs, Paul.

ACD supports NAWE in raising concerns over the proposed UP–NS merger. Intermodal rail keeps supply chains moving—further consolidation risks service, competition, and regional economies. We urge the STB to assess long-term impacts. Read more:

And the opposition continues!!
A growing number of voices are speaking out about the consequences of the proposed UP-NS mega merger. Yesterday, 54 Republican state lawmakers warned the STB how a merger of this size would raise the costs of products and threaten American competitiveness against foreign

So good…
History shows this happens when rail monopolies grow unchecked… “What is gridlock, embargoes, and economic fallout?” Correct! ✅ With UP-NS, the biggest merger ever reviewed by the STB, it’s time to remember the lessons of the past.

About time. This whole mess has been an abomination. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their grave. Congress needs to do better.

Thank you to all our veterans. Too often we take for granted all that we have in this great country. Thank you for your service and sacrifices. They will never be forgotten!

No truer words have been spoken.
.@JDVance has been a fighter for East Palestine and against unchecked corporate power. Norfolk Southern’s disaster in East Palestine proves they can't handle more power. A merger with Union Pacific would crush rail competition, hiking prices for farmers, energy producers, and

This is insanity. Let’s just keep going back and forth and forget that air traffic in this country is systematically being closed because people can’t get their damn paychecks. Congress needs to get its sh** together and now. Hammer out a deal and let’s move on already.
MORE — Dems came to consensus that they should hold out a bit longer (i.e. block Fri procedural vote) to try to extract more from GOP, such as language on RIFs (which R’s injected into the convo) Belief is they can get a better deal & shouldn’t fold for what’s currently on table

ACD applauds today's bipartisan effort to protect competition and hold rail accountable. As @EricR_ACD notes, “This merger is not in the public’s interest and does not enhance competition.” Read more: https://t.co/JMrYoShA3x
