The Hound 7/16

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about the projected rise in inflation, the Pentagon’s new contract with Elon Musk’s anti-semitic chatbot, and more.

We’re also tracking conservative’s media’s dehumanizing and dishonest reporting about the Everglades migrant facility — claiming the detainees are violent criminals when many have no such record.

🖊️ Add your name to tell right-wing media outlets to stop with the shameful lies about this facility’s true actions.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
