The Hound 5/27

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today, we’re talking about the GENIUS act — which would allow tech giants to issue their own cryptocurrencies, damaging provisions of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, and more. 

We’re also tracking right-leaning media’s highly misleading coverage around the GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts which will strip millions — including those in these outlets’ audiences — of healthcare.

Sign our petition calling upon media outlets to provide honest coverage on the impact of these cuts.

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