The Smile: 5/8

Hi friend,

Happy Thursday 💛

Across the country, people are stepping up. House Democrats just launched a bold new effort to shield Medicaid and SNAP from GOP cuts — a move that could protect millions of families. And in Michigan, Rep. Elissa Slotkin is holding town halls focused on accountability, justice, and the push to impeach Trump.

From rent relief in Washington state to students honoring their teachers, today’s good news reminds us: communities are organizing, progress is happening, and we’re not in this fight alone.

Let’s dive into the stories that are helping light the way.

Today’s user-submitted photo was sent in by Gerry C. who shared the cutest photo of these bear cubs! 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
