The Smile: 11/25

A judge just tossed Trump’s political prosecutions,

November 25, 2025

Hi friend,

Happy Tuesday! A federal judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s politically motivated prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that the Trump-installed prosecutor was unlawfully appointed and had no authority to bring the charges.

And there’s even more uplifting news today: Latino support for Trump is slipping after his 2024 gains, Democrats swept school boards nationwide in a backlash against culture-war politics, and Donald Trump is facing four legal setbacks in just one week. 

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
