The Hound 5/8

Hi there,

It’s Thursday, and we’ve got a fresh set of progressive and independent news stories on tap.

Today, we’re featuring stories that cover the worrisome implications of the Trump administration’s policy decisions that threaten the health of our economy and communities.

As we brace for the impacts of Trump’s tariffs to fully hit, the public deserves an objective understanding of how these policies will impact small businesses and ordinary Americans: Fox News’ coverage has been disturbingly glib and misleading.

🖊️ Sign onto our petition and tell Fox to provide factual reporting on the real economic impacts of the tariffs.
