The Hound 6/26

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today, we’re talking about the administration’s insistence of total damage in Iran despite contradictory intelligence, Islamophobic smears against the winner of NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary, and more.

We’re also tracking the barrage of complaints from right-wing media against journalists asking tough questions about the impact of the Iran strikes.

🖊️ Sign our petition calling upon journalists to continue bringing transparency and unbiased coverage.
