Appeals court protects California voters, press advocates sue Trump, and more!

Hi friend,

Happy Tuesday! A federal appeals court has delivered an important victory for voting rights in California! The Ninth Circuit rejected the Trump Justice Department's attempt to stop the state from counting mail-in ballots from approximately 20,000 registered voters whose citizenship the administration questioned.

There's even more good news today: A federal judge has ruled that the Justice Department illegally fired former FBI Director James Comey's daughter, press freedom advocates are suing the Trump administration over its restrictions on White House reporters, and an adorable stray kitten found a forever home after wandering into a bowling alley!

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
