The Hound 10/29

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about a GOP-led House committee accusing President Biden of running an “autopen presidency”, President Trump purging leadership at ICE for not being aggressive enough, and more.

We’re also tracking how right-wing figures and media allies are openly calling for the invocation of the Insurrection Act — a push for federal military takeover of cities that demands serious media scrutiny.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that newsrooms investigate these takeover calls and resist normalizing authoritarian rhetoric.

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