The Hound 10/24

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today we’re talking about Trump abruptly ending trade negotiations with Canada, missed federal paychecks amid the government shutdown, and more.

We’re also tracking how right-wing hosts are promoting outrageous claims — such as the DOJ supposedly owing Trump a billion dollars — and how major media outlets are failing to push back.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that the press stop treating propaganda as legitimate reporting, and start holding power to account.
