The Smile: 7/22

Another voter roll grab rejected, judge rules against Trump in Minnesota, and more!

July 22, 2026

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! A federal judge has dismissed an effort to force New Jersey to hand over sensitive voter registration records, reaffirming that requests for private voter data must meet clear legal standards. The ruling is another victory for protecting voters' privacy and defending the integrity of our elections.

There's more good news today: a federal judge has ordered student loan relief for 500,000 borrowers, environmental groups and Tribal nations are fighting to protect the Endangered Species Act, and a family in Australia is celebrating the arrival of identical quadruplets.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
