The Hound 11/14

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today we’re talking about the DOJ’s lawsuit against California redistricting, the U.S. tech sector’s sharp slump causing economic uncertainty, and more.

We’re also tracking a serious but under-covered story: the media’s failure to highlight a seemingly partisan retribution campaign directed at Democratic officials. It’s time for journalists to name the pattern and report it clearly.

🖊️ Add your name to demand media outlets stop downplaying this politically motivated targeting — and start treating it with the scrutiny democracy requires.

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

Until next time,
