The Smile: 2/11

Ro Khanna demands transparency in the Epstein files, courts defend voter and immigrant rights, and more good news!

February 11, 2026

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! This week, Rep. Ro Khanna took a bold stand for transparency by naming powerful figures he says were unnecessarily hidden in the Epstein files — a reminder that no one should be shielded from scrutiny just because they’re wealthy or well-connected.

There’s more good news today: judges are once again protecting voters’ privacy and due process, Democratic candidates are winning key races, and local leaders are standing up for immigrant communities.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
