The Hound 7/4

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today, we’re talking about the tragic passage of the “Big, Beautiful Bill”, a spike in detainment for law-abiding immigrants, and more.

Now that the sweeping Medicaid cuts have passed in both chambers, we’re continuing to follow misinformation in the conservative media about just how devastating these cuts will be for millions of Americans.

🖊️ If you haven’t already, sign our petition calling out Fox for hiding the human cost of these rollbacks.
