The Hound 12/29

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about the Trump administration’s plan to set quotas for denaturalizing American citizens, new DHS messaging that raises First Amendment concerns, and more.

We’re also tracking the November inflation report, where MAGA-aligned outlets rushed to declare victory — even as economists warned the data offered a misleading snapshot. When coverage trades context for political spin, the public is left with a distorted picture of reality.
