The Hound 1/7

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about renewed fights over the Hyde Amendment and federal abortion funding, escalating MAGA messaging about U.S. power and dominance, and more.

We’re also tracking how some media outlets are covering the Pentagon’s move to punish Senator Mark Kelly — a decorated veteran — for reminding service members they can refuse unlawful orders, often repeating claims of “sedition” without explaining the legal and constitutional context.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that media outlets cover this retaliation against a veteran lawmaker with clarity, accuracy, and accountability — not unchallenged rhetoric.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:

Until next time,

P.S. We’re always looking for new independent and progressive media sources to spotlight in our roundups. If there’s an outlet you think would be a great addition, reply to this email with your recommendation. We’d love to hear from you!
