The Hound 11/19

 

Hi there, It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about a ruling blocking Texas’ racially gerrymandered maps, Congress’s rare bipartisan vote to release the Epstein files, and more. We’re also tracking an alarming media-freedom issue: Donald Trump’s threat to revoke ABC’s broadcasting license after a reporter asked a legitimate question about the Epstein documents. This is an effort to intimidate journalists and punish critical coverage. 🖊️ Add your name to demand the media call out Trump’s threats for what they are — an attempt to silence tough questions — and defend an independent, unafraid press.
