The Smile: 11/21

Hi friend,

Happy Friday! A federal judge just halted Donald Trump’s unlawful deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC, ruling that the administration violated the law and overstepped its authority by sending troops into the city without any request from local leaders.

✍️ Celebrate this major victory for the rule of law!

And in more good news: a federal court shut down Arkansas’s crackdown on ballot initiatives, Chicago clergy are standing up to DHS in defense of religious freedom, and more!
