The Hound 6/4

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today, we’re tracking Trump’s deepening assault on immigrant rights, science, and basic civil liberties — from slashing NASA’s budget to expanding Arctic drilling and allowing inhumane conditions at jails.

Now, Trump’s FBI is reviving a years-old leak investigation — not to protect national security, but to intimidate journalists and silence dissent. This isn’t about justice. It’s about control.

🖊️Sign our petition to demand the FBI stop using the justice system to threaten press freedom.
