The Smile: 10/23

Hi friend,

Happy Friday! A group of Vietnam-era veterans is taking a stand against President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery. The veterans have asked a federal judge to block construction, which could begin as early as November 5, unless Congress authorizes the project.

👏 Applaud these veterans for challenging Trump's proposed arch and demanding congressional approval!

There's even more good news today: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to stop using error-filled voter data for investigations in nine states, Democrats are demanding an unredacted list of attendees at Trump's cryptocurrency dinner, and rescuers used a remote-controlled pipe crawler to save a frightened kitten trapped in a storm drain!

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
