The Hound 10/16

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about the Supreme Court’s ruling on redistricting and voting rights, the Trump administration’s push to limit federal “anti-terror” funding to states seen as non-compliant, and more.

We’re also tracking Glenn Beck’s extraordinary claim that the FBI asked for his guidance on targeting political groups, naming specific activist organizations. We’re calling on media outlets to recognize this as the threat it is.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that newsrooms resist turning such claims into entertainment — and instead call out political targeting of dissent.

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