Congestion pricing polls very well among residents of NYC. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-congestion-pricing-support-grows/6165502/ https://pfnyc.org/news/new-poll-ny-voters-say-congestion-pricing-has-led-to-faster-commutes-and-less-traffic/ Further, it is doing its job in reducing traffic and pollution. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/11/upshot/congestion-pricing.html?unlocked_article_code=1.H08.pRhU.8mmmahjJyu1k&smid=url-share https://www.curbed.com/article/100-dayscongestion-pricing-mta-results.html

The residents take the subway. I believe the grounds are that the federal government cannot tell a state entity, the MTA, what to do with their policies.

Using Smoot-Hawley to say Trump has authority to do this is misleading, at best, and incredibly ignorant, at worst. For one, SH involved tariffs passed by the HOUSE, not by the President. For another, it was such an economic poison pill that a new liberal trade bill was passed in 1934 and effectively nullified SH. Also, the Federal Trade Act of 1974 does not give the President authority to drop sweeping tariffs, it allows him to create trade deals that Congress can pass quickly.

Elon is a looooooooooooser

If he was doing such a great job saving the nation, surely he wouldn’t be taking the easy way out, no? Especially since DOGE is commissioned through July 2026?

Yeah uh huh

This was a clear overreach of executive authority. I’m glad checks and balances worked.

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye

The solution is simple - take the subway. This is a win for the actual residents of NYC who no longer have to deal with congestion and pollution.

Okay, I can see your interpretation of it. I figured Aaron was discussing the drugs since that’s what all the discourse has been about. I didn’t even think about the ladies.

The MTA refused to comply, held its ground, and scored a massive victory. The MAGA government cannot tell them what to do. A huge win for us city planners!

This is such a stupid take when Diggs is using potentially fatal substances You ever try Pink Whitney? Most vile stuff I’ve ever drank.

I’ve never been on a yacht, so I’m good.

Interesting

Well bring back Suzy Kolber while you’re at it

What are you “restoring” America to? What is your model?

This failure is finally slinking away. Unfortunately the damage he’s done will take decades to fix.

Never said that.

Physicality seems to be a recurring problem with a lot of our players.

The OpenAI o3 model ignored “shut down” orders and found ways to circumvent them. I hope researchers don’t tie this sucker into any nuclear launch systems!

And yet it was still more productive and less damaging than the Trump gang of Fox News cuts. I’d happily vote for it again.

Straight from the horse’s mouth. DOGE was a complete, utter failure.
