The Hound 6/20

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today, we’re talking about harmful changes across the country — from abortion access quietly vanishing even in legal states, to stranded asylum seekers at the border, to the climate clock ticking faster than ever.

We’re also tracking reports that the Trump administration is pressuring the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to kill one of the few institutions that has delivered consistent, high-quality education for decades: PBS.

🖊️ Sign our petition to tell the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: PBS is essential — protect it.
