The Hound 5/14

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today, we’re talking about House Republicans’ anti-worker tax plan, federal agencies being tasked with out-of-scope enforcement activities, Trump’s visit to Qatar, and more.

We’re also following TV news networks’ stark underreporting on anti-trans violence despite a record surge in these incidents.

🖊️ Add your name to our petition demanding these outlets stop glossing over this crisis.
