It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive.
My econ 101 students know what the word regressive means, and that tariffs are regressive. Many could even cite studies on the subject.

Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on tariffs: "It's not regressive. Most consumption in America is done by the wealthiest people. So the idea it's somehow regressive is just wrong."

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Audre Lorde diagnosed a kind of man whose "American maleness overcomes or supersedes anything else, so that they relate to me, to the world, to children, to the fence, to a plant, to a tree first of all as an American male. And there I find, by definition, a position of false power, intolerable.”

Unlike the bunker busting operation, there will likely be US casualties.
And of course it is also likely that there is no plan - or an extremely weak one - for what happens afterwards.
