The Hound | May 15

Hi there, It’s Friday. Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal isn’t going well. Louisiana takes up a new congressional map, rushing to implement redrawn districts before the midterm elections. And the Trump administration’s new counterterrorism blueprint raises alarming questions about whether national security powers are being redirected toward political targets instead of genuine threats. Reporting shows the plan focuses heavily on left-wing activism and perceived ideological enemies while minimizing or ignoring the well-documented danger posed by far-right extremist violence. At the same time, the report reportedly praises Donald Trump personally, blurring the line between public safety strategy and political loyalty. Yet too much media coverage treats this as a routine policy document or partisan disagreement rather than confronting the deeper issue: the politicization of counterterrorism itself. 🖊️ Add your name to call on major news organizations to cover this counterterrorism plan clearly and critically—examining what threats are excluded, why ideological opponents are emphasized, and what it means when national security tools are shaped around politics instead of evidence... SUBSCRIBE and join with other to SPEAK OUT! The public deserves reporting that asks whether these policies are designed to keep Americans safe—or to target dissent.
