The Smile: 11/11

Hi friend,

Happy Tuesday and Veterans Day! Clean energy groups and the city of St. Paul have sued the Trump administration, arguing that the president has discriminated against blue states by slashing federal funds for political leverage during the shutdown.

✍️ Add your name to applaud the clean energy groups and the city of St. Paul for suing to stop Trump’s cruel, partisan cuts to climate funding in Democratic-led states!

And there’s even more good news: Latino voters helped power big Democratic wins in New Jersey and Virginia, a Wisconsin judge just withdrew an anti-voting order, and inspiring veterans are making headlines for service and resilience across the country.

Let’s dive into the good news 💛
