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.

Trump’s DOJ claims it has the power to decide who is covered by his vague sweeping 2020 pardon.
There's no modern precedent for such a move.

The Trump Administration's latest rationale for killing striken seamen was that they knew that two men had survived the initial strike but that they "needed to sink the vessel" so they fired again.
That is the EXACT same defense Heinz-Wilhelm Eck used after WWII. He was found guilty and executed.

Pentagon knew boat attack left survivors but still launched a follow-on strike, AP sources say
The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike.

Trump’s name has been installed on building and signage around the US Institute of Peace (USIP) – an independent agency that the administration gutted earlier this year.
Federal judge has already ruled that the government’s armed takeover was illegal. Judgment is stayed.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
