The Department of Justice accidentally filed a document revealing legal weaknesses in the Trump administration's attempt to cancel New York City's congestion pricing program. The document suggests the cancellation faces high litigation risks and proposes an alternative legal defense.

Why it matters: The legal flaws expose vulnerabilities in the administration's effort to end a program aimed at reducing traffic and funding transit.

The stakes: If courts reject the cancellation, congestion pricing will continue aiding NYC's transit funding and traffic management.

The big picture: This clash highlights ongoing tensions between federal and local priorities on urban transportation policy.

Commenters say: Many emphasize the DOJ's error as revealing internal doubts about the Trump administration's legal strategy, questioning the policy's rationale and fairness.
