The Hound 8/25

Hi there,

It’s Monday. Today we’re talking about Trump’s threats to expand use of the National Guard and federal forces in American cities, ICE's bid to deport a U.S. resident to Uganda after he declined a plea deal, and more.

We’re also tracking how media platforms are abetting Trump’s takeover of D.C. — repeating his law-and-order scripts without question despite a lack of evidence that there is a crime crisis.

🖊️ Add your name to call for coverage that calls out the erosion of democracy — not enables it — related to the D.C. takeover.

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