The Smile: 3/6

Hi friend,

Happy Friday! Kristi Noem is finally out at the Department of Homeland Security. This week, members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees put Noem in the hot seat. They publicly held her accountable for routine violence and violations of civil rights by immigration officers, leaving Donald Trump with no choice but to fire Noem.

✍️ Thank Congress for holding Kristi Noem accountable!

There’s more momentum today: A Florida judge ruled against Ron DeSantis’ attacks on Muslims, Democrats in Texas are uniting to flip a Senate seat, Cards Against Humanity plans to give tariff dollars back to customers, and Croatia is finally free of landmines.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
