The Hound 5/21

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today, we’re tracking new assaults on surveillance oversight, reproductive rights, public health, and legal protections for immigrants and children.

We’re also following reporting that Attorney General Pam Bondi sold up to $5 million in Trump Media stock the same day Trump’s tariff announcement sent the market tumbling. Sign our petition demanding transparency and accountability for Bondi’s stock sale.
