It’s that time of the month again: Trump is once again saying he wants to kill congestion pricing, throwing a tantrum over it on his social media. As expected, he since has moved on to other things (particularly the huge blowout during the elections).
He can try all he wants but the MTA won’t back down and is ready to take him to court and fight.
This is just in connection with Stefanik/MAGA entering the governor’s race.
It’s all noise, and Duffy has other fish to fry given the airport issues. Also, unlike the previous time that congestion pricing was on the president’s radar, the state governor has a lot more resources to tackle this (New York Is Quietly Preparing Against Trump’s Takeover of the City - POLITICO) and the federal government has less resources than before, due to large-scale attrition at DOJ.
A lot of the things the President says are all noise. He’s busy trying to stall the Epstein files being released, blaming democrats for his government shutdown, and rigging elections.
Let’s see how long the shutdown lasts.
It could also end tomorrow.
there is zero chance of it ending tomorrow
The usual.
