The Smile: 5/29

From Trump's tariffs being blocked to found engagement rings, there's a lot to celebrate today!

May 29, 2025

Hi friend,

Happy Thursday! A federal trade court has blocked President Trump from abusing emergency powers to impose sweeping new tariffs — a major win for workers, small businesses, and the rule of law. The ruling reaffirms that economic policy should follow the Constitution, not political whims.

In other inspiring news: Trans teens are standing up for their rights in Kansas, high schoolers became hometown heroes after saving a family from a fire, and 16 states are suing to stop Trump’s dangerous science cuts. Even a lost engagement ring found its way home!

Hope is everywhere. Let’s dive into it together. 💛
