The Hound 12/2

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today, we’re talking about a shocking new White House claim that Trump can lawfully order military strikes to kill survivors, ICE’s latest abuses, and child labor in California’s toxic fields.

We’re also sounding the alarm on how the media is soft-pedaling Trump’s latest overreach, treating unlawful kill orders like a routine press briefing instead of the constitutional crisis it is.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that the media call Trump’s kill authority claims what they are: an authoritarian abuse of power with deadly consequences.
