The Amtrak crash in Philadelphia is just a few hours old. The NTSB won’t arrive until morning.

NTSB is launching a go-team to investigate tonight’s #Amtrak accident near Philadelphia. Team will arrive at site in the morning.

No matter. Despite zero evidence, partisan ghouls are already blaming the crash on Republicans and “lack of funding.”

So the right wingers aren't disturbed by the inadequate safety funding for #Amtrak that transportation officials have decried for decades.

Congress poised to slash #Amtrak’s annual funding to $1.13 billion, was $1.4 billion. http://t.co/544inK0Jwr pic.twitter.com/0knKgHPciR

Barely 2 hrs after a human tragedy, we have network(s), decrying funding for Amtrak. I hope the rest of America is praying. #priorities

Never let a crisis go to waste…

@AntDeRosa @joanwalsh Are we sure it does relate? What evidence do you have?

Ignorant tweets about funding minutes after a disaster makes me proud to be an American @Amtrak #timeandplace Praying for all involved

Common sense: Always in short supply when political vultures are hovering overhead.

Of course we should have more funding for #Amtrak. That's a given. However, let's not point to that until we know what happened.

Amazing how many people are sure the #Amtrak accident was caused infrastructure funding without any evidence whatsoever. #experts

Dear Twitter: I'm all for increased transport funding, but PLEASE stop speculating without facts that a lack of funding caused #Amtrak crash

Goodbye, decency. Hello, evil.

Hope there are lots of Republicans on that Amtrak train then maybe they'll have a come to Jesus moment and fund infrastructure. #LastWord

@TuxcedoCat Because there's no better moment than a tragedy to do your partisan shit-shuffle.
