The top 0.1% benefited from the corporate tax rate dropping from 10.5% in 2015 to as low as 5% in 2019. The bottom 50% of households got essentially zero benefit. Corporate profits grew 59% since 2015. Worker wages did not. The Trump corporate tax cut was a wealth transfer. Full stop.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

Director of National Intelligence
National Counterterrorism Center
President Trump,
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.
Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved vife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation of to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of
I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for.…

New photos released of the person of interest in the Brown University shooting.

An FBI “Seeking Information” poster about the Brown University shooting. The top banner features the FBI seal on the left and the words “SEEKING INFORMATION” in large white letters on a red background. Below, bold text reads “BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTING,” followed by smaller text stating “Unknown Suspect,” “Providence, Rhode Island,” and “December 13, 2025.” Beneath the text are three surveillance-style images of the same individual taken from different angles. The person appears to be wearing dark clothing, including a dark jacket or hoodie, dark pants, and a dark beanie or cap. In two images, the individual is shown walking near a black iron fence and brick pillars, possibly at or near a campus entrance. In the center image, the person is walking toward the camera on a sidewalk, with their face partially obscured by the hat and image quality.
