The Hound 9/10

Tracking the DOJ's demands for state-level voting data, a MAHA report with spurious calls to investigate vaccines and autism, and more.

September 10, 2025

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about Trump’s DOJ demanding voting data from state election systems in a troubling feat of federal overreach, the administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report calling for investigations into vaccine injuries and autism, and more.

We’re also tracking conservative media’s default to political framing when confronted with farmers' realities. Stories of bankruptcies, canceled contracts, and rising input costs, have been met with nothing more than a parroting of rosy trade rhetoric.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that newsrooms expose policies that hurt rural America and stop spinning the truth.

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