The Smile: 10/28

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! A federal judge is moving quickly to address the Trump administration's attempt to interfere with Alaska's Senate election! U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason has fast-tracked Democrats' legal effort to dismiss a Justice Department lawsuit that seeks to block certification of the election results if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses.

👏 Applaud Judge Gleason for fast-tracking this critical voting rights case and helping protect Alaska's elections!

There's even more good news today: Rock legend Neil Young is suing Trump's political committee, a prominent election forecaster has shifted 16 House races toward Democrats, and a creative 9-year-old girl has programmed her very own talking Halloween skeleton named Uncle Murray!

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
