Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a boon for big corporations.
His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.
A windfall for the wealthy at your expense.

Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.”
And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.
She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group.
"Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.

Trump wants you to think that he’s bringing back the “Golden Age” of prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s.
But in reality, he’s dragging us toward something else: the Gilded Age of the 1890s. https://youtu.be/fusV6pkf-_c?feature=shared
