The Smile: 7/9

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration from cutting off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood under his so-called “big, beautiful bill.” This is a major victory for millions of patients who rely on Planned Parenthood for essential care like cancer screenings, STI testing, and birth control.

✍️ Add your name to celebrate this court decision and stand with Planned Parenthood as they fight to protect health care access nationwide.

Also in the news: the Wisconsin Supreme Court clears the way for a conversion therapy ban, and a Coast Guard swimmer is hailed as a hero after rescuing 165 kids from Texas floodwaters.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
