The Hound 12/5

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today, we’re talking about Trump’s attacks on the Somali-American community, Amazon’s pricing chaos in public schools, and the quiet promotion of two Chicago police officers despite sexual misconduct findings.

We’re also tracking how yet another Trump Jr.–backed company has landed a massive Pentagon contract — this time, a $620 million loan to a startup with just 30 employees. But much of the media is treating it like just another business story.

🖊️ Add your name demanding the media stop normalizing Trump family profiteering and start exposing it for what it is: corruption.

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