The Smile: 7/29

Hi friend,

Happy Tuesday! A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration’s latest attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, protecting care for millions of patients who rely on Medicaid for cancer screening, STI testing, and so much more. It’s a huge win for reproductive health!
