DEVELOPING! Elon Musk is considering sending $5,000 checks to all American taxpayers using projected savings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)!

The plan would allocate 20% of DOGE’s estimated $2T savings to 79M tax-paying households, with payouts potentially arriving by July 4, 2026.

NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has rescinded approval of New York City's congestion pricing system. The tolls went into affect in January and forced most vehicles to pay $9 a day to enter the so-called congestion zones.

“New  York State’s congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working  class Americans and small business owners,” Duffy said in a statement.

The DOT is now looking at a toll-free option to access lower Manhattan. "The  program also seemed to focus on generating revenue for the city’s  transit system and wasn’t based on what was needed to reduce congestion,"  Duffy added

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