The Hound 8/7

Hi there,

It’s Thursday. Today we’re talking about GOP attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Trump’s new tariffs driving up prices, and more.

We’re also still tracking — and urging media accountability for — right-wing media’s use of the racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory to target Black lawmakers and spread white nationalist fearmongering.
