Then it happened.

B…U…R…P.
Deep. Loud. Impressive.

I stared at him. He stared back as if to say, Well… that helped.

This time, there are no redcoats, no crates of tea—only silent digits on receipts and unseen hands reaching into the pockets of working families. The White House’s PINA has unilaterally imposed tariffs without the consent of Congress. This is a blatant circumvention of legislative authority. That is not policy; it is tyranny in the language of bureaucracy.
