The Hound 10/30

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about Trump testing nuclear weapons, the indictment of a congressional candidate with ties to ICE, and more.

We’re also tracking right-wing media’s attacks on SNAP and food stamp programs — some targeting the program itself, and others attacking the people who rely on it as “lazy”.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that newsrooms cover impacted programs responsibly and stop stigmatizing vulnerable communities.

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

Until next time,
