The Smile: 04/17/2025

Hi friend,

California just became the first state to sue the Trump administration over its reckless tariffs—and we couldn’t be prouder. This bold legal action is a critical step in protecting working families, small businesses, and our economy. Add your name to support California’s stand against Trump’s tariffs »

From massive Bernie rallies in red districts to legal victories protecting climate funding and the rights of international students, progressives are showing up and fighting back.

There’s so much more to be hopeful about—let’s dive into today’s good news together. 💛
