Good morning, everyone. Every Sunday we honor a tradition here: sharing a good-news-only update, a reminder that even in a world often overwhelmed with negativity, there is still plenty worth celebrating. The weeks are getting longer, the news cycle is getting louder, and that is exactly why this moment matters. Take a breath, take a break, and join me in focusing on what is going right.
Share one piece of good news from your own life in the comments. Big or small, it all counts.
As for my good news: we are now the third most watched news and political account in the entire country. We have officially surpassed every major media outlet except Fox News and the Daily Mail. Last week we were fourth. This week we are third. And we are climbing fast.
With your support, we will pass Fox News and bring real, unfiltered information into households across America.
Subscribe, share, and help push this movement even further. We are just getting started.

Here’s some good news:
A quick-thinking golfer saved her friend’s life after noticing he was having a heart attack during a video call, racing to his home to help until paramedics arrived; he survived multiple cardiac arrests, underwent emergency surgery, lost 112 pounds during recovery, and now golfs and fundraises for heart health alongside her.
An 8-year-old from a multigenerational hockey family turned his frustrated quote—“I’m tired of just being a rink dude”—into the “Rink Dude” merch brand, raising thousands to help underprivileged and military kids afford hockey gear, rink time, and team fees, while learning the joy of giving back.
Scientists discovered that bumblebees can distinguish “dot” vs. “dash”–length flashes (like simple Morse code), learning to associate short flashes with sugar and long ones with bitterness, revealing that insects can process time durations—an ability previously seen only in humans and vertebrates and offering insights into how small brains handle complex cognitive tasks.
The EU will add climate education to school curricula, calling climate literacy essential for informed decision-making, resilience against disinformation, and preparing a green-skilled workforce—joining 152 countries that now include climate education in their Paris Agreement commitments, a step praised as a major milestone by climate advocates.
After 3,000 years, Egypt has eliminated trachoma—the leading infectious cause of blindness—thanks to improved sanitation, stronger monitoring, and community awareness efforts, earning official confirmation from the WHO and praise for the nationwide collaboration that made it possible.
California passed the Opt Me Out Act, requiring web browsers to offer a simple, universal opt-out for data sharing and sales—praised as a major privacy win that replaces tedious site-by-site requests, takes effect in 2027, and sets a model other states and countries may follow.
A new Ember report shows the world is on track to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030—outpacing the needed annual growth rate—but experts warn rising energy demand and record-high projected emissions mean major climate goals, including the Paris 1.5°C limit, remain at risk without stronger action.
Brazil’s new Tropical Forests Forever fund—launched ahead of Cop30 and seeded with major commitments from Brazil, Indonesia, and now Norway’s $3 billion—aims to reward nations for protecting tropical forests using investment returns, a model some criticize but others praise as a promising, innovative tool for accelerating global forest conservation.
Australia now generates so much midday solar power that it plans to offer free electricity during peak sunshine hours, reflecting the country’s rapid shift from coal to renewables—cutting emissions, improving air quality, and helping curb climate-driven heat and wildfire risks.
To fight period poverty, Australian entrepreneur Remy Tucker created On The House, a startup that installs vending machines that dispense free period products funded entirely by bathroom ad revenue—currently operating in Brisbane and aiming to scale across Australia and globally.
A two week old southern sea otter pup named Caterpillar was successfully rescued and reunited with its mother in Morro Bay, California after Marine Mammal Center staff and harbor patrol spent hours tracking her down by broadcasting recordings of the pup’s distress cries, a high stakes mission given that orphaned pups rarely survive and the threatened local otter population numbers only about 3,000, making each individual critical to the species’ long term recovery.
The Netherlands will return a 3,500 year old granodiorite bust of Pharaoh Thutmose III to Egypt after identifying it as a looted artifact stolen during the Arab Spring, handing it over as a good faith gesture timed with the opening of Egypt’s massive new Grand Egyptian Museum and signaling renewed cooperation on repatriating antiquities.
Delta Air Lines ran its 25th annual Dream Flight, flying 100 Black teens from Atlanta to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to inspire careers in aviation and aerospace, featuring an all-Black flight crew and mentorship from Black pilots through the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals.
A 17-year-old from Australia’s Gold Coast, Josh Pache, was rewarded with $1,000, a job offer, and over $10,000 raised online after turning in $3,500 he found at a gas station, inspiring widespread praise for his honesty and generosity.
Researchers in France discovered that nanobodies—tiny antibody-like proteins found in camels, alpacas, and llamas—could lead to safer, more effective treatments for Alzheimer’s and other brain disorders, thanks to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce side effects compared to traditional antibodies.
An international coalition approved the creation of “Macronesia,” a massive marine sanctuary spanning the Azores, Madeira, Cape Verde, and Canary Islands to protect 32 whale and dolphin species along one of the Atlantic’s most vital migratory routes, marking one of the largest ocean conservation initiatives ever undertaken.
See you this evening.
