The Hound 7/28

Tracking policies that would criminalize homelessness, a political “bias monitor” at Paramount, and more.

July 28, 2025

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about Trump allies pushing policies that criminalize homelessness and mental illness, his administration’s plan to insert a political “bias monitor” into the Paramount merger, and more.

We’re also tracking right-wing media’s dangerous amplification of Tulsi Gabbard’s flimsy memo — a stunt to justify imprisoning Barack Obama.

🖊️ Add your name to demand the right-wing media stop legitimizing calls to jail political opponents.

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