The Hound 7/14

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about new “unspoken rules” immigrants are following to avoid police stops — including not playing Spanish-language music — and headlines around the Epstein files which create more speculation about Trump’s ties to elite networks.

We’re also tracking how national TV news covered the Texas floods — with little mention of climate change or the systemic failures behind the crisis.

🖊️ Sign our petition and tell corporate media to report truthfully on the factors contributing to this tragedy.
