The Hound 8/14

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about Trump’s push to extend federal control of D.C., the administration’s reshaping of corporate America, and more.

We’re also continuing to track how right-wing media covers calls to militarize U.S. cities including Chicago, New York, Boston, and more — an alarming suggestion that bypasses democratic oversight.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that media outlets report on this seriously, explaining the legal, ethical, and civil implications rather than hyping it for clicks.

Until next time,
