Donald Trump's attempt to kill congestion pricing just failed in court — and in spectacular fashion.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The cameras are staying on.
NEW: The Trump administration’s legal stay to avoid funding the Gateway Tunnel has expired.
Donald Trump needs to follow the law and get the project back on track immediately.
Another horrific outcome from a federal operation that has clearly spun out of control.
Americans have had enough of lawless conduct masquerading as enforcement.
President Trump is responsible for putting a stop to it.
This really gets the core of it all - the Gov isn't just thinking big for the future, she's delivering for riders right now. Expansion tomorrow cannot come at the expense of reliability today.
We're funding design for the project that scored the highest and that will already have TBMs in the ground at the starting point. Pretty simple.
Huge announcement from Gov. Hochul:
Next phase of 2nd Av subway expansion would cross west on 125th St all the way to Broadway, connecting to busy stations on the 2/3, A/B/C/D, and 1 lines.
This would provide much needed crosstown access for 100s of thousands of uptown residents. Truly exciting.
A huge, transformative project that, if delivered, would be the first consistent expansion of the New York City subway system since about WWII.
Hell yeah we’re going west.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul says she will propose a new law allowing limited autonomous vehicle pilots in smaller cities. Full-blown services could be next. www.wired.com/story/propos...
Congestion pricing is working. The cameras are staying on.
There we go - imagine the Mayor of the city showing up to celebrate the success of traffic reduction & transit funding in NYC!
The latest numbers are in: Congestion pricing cut 27M car trips in 2025.
Commutes got faster
Streets got safer
And business went up

Sean Duffy loses again.
Someone needs to update this book
ACTUAL GOOD TRANSIT NEWS ALERT: Metro-North will run to Albany, starting this spring.
And Amtrak is adding back one train to NYP-ALB and capping prices at $99.
Today, Donald Trump attacked New Yorkers for political payback.
I will not sit idly by while his administration hurts New Yorkers.
DONALD TRUMP LOSES AGAIN.
We're fighting back. bsky.app/profile/sean...
STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL “Donald Trump has been clear: he is intent on using his reckless government shutdown to hurt the American people. In just 24 hours, his administration has defunded New York’s law enforcement and counterterrorism efforts and halted $18 billion in funding from critical infrastructure projects in New York City. This is political payback and an attack on New York and its residents, and it puts every family across our state in harm's way. “Every New Yorker should be outraged. From the construction worker who could lose their job, to the commuter stuck on a delayed train, to the families who rely on brave law enforcement officers to keep them safe. I will not sit idly by while Donald Trump defunds public safety and lets our infrastructure crumble. We will use every tool available to us to restore this funding and ensure that these critical infrastructure projects get built and keep every New Yorker safe.” ###
New Hochul statement on yesterday and today’s DC mess. State sued last night over the security grants. My guess is there’s a lawsuit by tonight over the Second Ave and Gateway stuff.
Let's be clear: @governor.ny.gov won't stand idly by while Donald Trump and his cronies hurt New Yorkers in their pathetic political revenge tour.
Congestion pricing is working — and the cameras are staying on.

From @governor.ny.gov on today's Penn Station news.
REPORTER: You previously said Hochul is 'fundamentally ineffective as governor.' What's changed?
TORRES: I'll be honest -- there might have been moments when I underestimated the governor. And my message to Donald Trump is you underestimate Gov. Hochul as your own peril.
For generations, East Harlem has been promised a new subway, but leaders failed to get it done. The time for promises is over. The time for building is here.
Today, the Second Avenue Subway extension is officially moving forward!
All aboard the Hochul Local! Soon making all stops between Brooklyn Army Terminal and Jackson Heights.
