Sorry in advance folks, I couldn't figure out how to make a Link Post from Mastodon.

Also frightening is Trump's reaction to this on Truth Social, casually referring to himself as king:

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

They spent hundreds of millions setting up the program and it's projected to funnel $15 billion annually into the MTA. But sure, they'll, totally just put everything down and walk away because the President says he no longer approves. lol.
