The Smile: 9/22

Hi friend,

Happy Tuesday! CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have filed a First Amendment lawsuit after the White House revoked their reporters’ credentials. The three outlets are seeking a temporary restraining order restoring access, arguing that the government retaliated against them because of their reporting.

👏 Add your name to stand with these news outlets for standing for the First Amendment and for holding Trump accountable!

There’s even more good news today: A federal judge ruled that the EPA unlawfully terminated $7 billion in Solar for All grants, a days-old elephant was rescued after becoming separated from her mother and sheltering with a herd of zebras, and California has officially designated Dolly Parton Day.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
