The Hound 11/17

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about Trump and the GOP downplaying an affordability crisis even as voters rejected them in this year’s elections, an expansion of federal data-mining that could suppress voter turnout, and more.

We’re also tracking how Trump is blaming President Biden for economic challenges while ignoring the facts — and how right-wing media keeps repeating his talking points without offering real context.

🖊️ Add your name to demand the media stop echoing Trump’s false economic claims — and start giving the public factual, context-rich reporting instead.

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

Until next time,
