The Smile: 4/30

April 30, 2025

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! As Senate Democrats prepare a marathon of speeches to mark Trump’s “100 days from hell,” we’re reminded just how vital it is to stay vocal, vigilant, and united.

The good continues to shine through—from a lost family heirloom found after 50 years, to new solar telescope images revealing the wonder of our universe. And if you missed it, a Central Florida woman saved a pup from a bear with just a bag of cookies. (Yes, really!)

Let’s get into the good news. 💛

Today’s user-submitted photo was sent in by Charles R., who shared an adorable photo of a squirrel! If you want the chance to have your photo featured, reply to this email 😄

Thank you for reading, and we hope these articles shine a light on your day.

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
