The Hound 11/26

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about surprise resignations from reps including Marjorie Taylor Greene, a major push toward banning congressional stock trades, and more.

We’re also sounding the alarm on shrinking media diversity. As mega-mergers consolidate control over news outlets, the public is losing independent journalism — and with it, many of the watchdog voices needed to hold power accountable.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that media companies and regulators block consolidation — and preserve a free, independent press essential to democracy.
