The Hound 7/21

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about the Trump EPA burying climate research, Colbert’s sudden late night cancellation, and more.

We’re also tracking how top GOP officials are using right-wing media to spread dangerous weather manipulation conspiracies in the wake of the Texas floods — deflecting from real accountability for disaster response and climate policy.

🖊️ Add your name to tell media outlets to stop platforming these baseless claims and start focusing on the real causes of — and solutions to — extreme weather.
