Newsom takes on Fox, courts block Trump again, and Pride shines bright!

Hi friend,

Happy Monday! California Gov. Gavin Newsom just launched a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News, accusing the network of knowingly spreading lies to serve Trump’s political agenda. It’s a bold move to hold media giants accountable — and it sends a clear message: truth still matters.

More good news: a federal judge has struck down yet another Trump executive order targeting law firms, cities are wrapping Pride Month with powerful celebrations, and the Senate has removed a massive public lands sell-off from Trump’s “megabill.”

Let’s get into the good news! 💛
