The Hound 6/17

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today, we’re tracking new threats to immigrant communities, public health, and economic security — from looming ICE raids to deeper Medicaid cuts.

And while Americans face real hardship, Trump is once again using his position to profit — this time by announcing a gold-colored smartphone and a shady wireless service.

🖊️  Sign our petition demanding that the media expose this latest scheme.
