The Hound 8/22

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today we’re talking about Trump’s sweeping crackdown on visa holders — including new rules requiring social media screening and device unlocking, the FBI raid of John Bolton’s home tied to classified documents, and more.

We’re also sounding the alarm about how Fox News paved the way for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment to lead Health and Human Services, where he has gutted vaccine programs and cut critical medical research.

🖊️ Add your name to demand accountability for the network that fueled this public health disaster.
