The Hound 10/10

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today we’re talking about Letitia James’ targeted indictment, news outlets resisting the Pentagon’s stifling press policy, and more.

We’re also tracking how media outlets are echoing calls to label left-leaning cities as “rebels” or “insurrectionists” — a framing that distorts real dissent and justifies federal crackdowns.

🖊️ Add your name to demand reporting that shows what’s actually happening, not the threats leaders want you to see.

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