The Hound 7/2

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today, we’re talking about Paramount’s settlement over a 60 Minutes segment on Kamala Harris, the Senate’s passage of Trump’s megabill — which slashes Medicaid and SNAP while giving tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy, and more.

Meanwhile, Fox News continues to mislead viewers about the GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts — claiming they won’t impact coverage, while defending a bill that would leave millions uninsured and raise premiums. As the bill returns to the House, transparency is more important than ever.
