The New York, the US Department of Transportation emailed us a letter from Secretary Duffy.

Announcing their attempt to end the congestion pricing program in the state of New York.

At 1:58 p.m., President Donald Trump tweeted, Long live the king.

I'm here to say New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years.

And we are not, we sure as hell are not going to start now.

The streets of this city where battles were fought, we stood up to a king, and we won then.

In case you don't know New Yorkers, when we're in a fight, we do not back down, not now, not ever.

Within seconds of us getting this notification, our MTA was prepared, we knew this could come, filed a lawsuit within minutes.

And I also want to say, the cameras are staying on, we are keeping the cameras on.

I don't care if you love congestion pricing or hate it, this is an attack on our sovereign identity, our independence from Washington.

And this is, we are a nation, we are a nation of states, this is what we fought for, this is what people like Alexander Hamilton and others fought for.

To set up a system, we are not subservient to a king or anyone else out of Washington.

Think about this, next time you're stuck in traffic.
