The Hound 8/1

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today, we’re tracking the Trump administration’s dangerous mix of chaos and cruelty — from a tariff plan slammed by economists, to ICE’s expanding network of tent jails, to a redistricting scheme designed to rig Texas politics for the next decade.

Meanwhile, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is openly praising antisemitism as a savvy business model — and the media barely flinches.

🖊️ If you haven’t yet, sign our petition demanding the press call out this dangerous rhetoric for what it is: hate for profit.
