概要

 In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen delivers a surge of positivity with stories that highlight significant political shifts and community initiatives. We kick off with the announcement that Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk will not seek reelection, joining a wave of incumbents stepping down, including Marjorie Taylor Greene. This shift may signal new opportunities for Democratic candidates in Georgia's congressional races.

Next, we dive into a revealing poll where a majority of Americans express disapproval of President Trump's handling of the Epstein scandal, with many believing the government is concealing information about the case. The growing scrutiny reflects a demand for accountability and transparency.
Listeners will also hear about the exciting new season of the podcast Band Camp, hosted by Dan and Jen, where they explore banned literature, starting with J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. Beowulf joins in with a special segment discussing the ongoing challenges of censorship in literature.
In New York, Attorney General Letitia James has announced a plan to deploy legal observers to monitor federal immigration enforcement, reinforcing the state's commitment to protecting civil rights. Governor Kathy Hochul is also pushing for legislation to keep immigration agents out of sensitive spaces without proper warrants.
Oregon is making strides in healthcare access with a proposed bill to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for cervical cancer screenings, a move supported by cancer advocates and aimed at improving women's health outcomes.
A listener-suggested story highlights Mattel's introduction of a new Barbie doll honoring Opal Lee, the grandmother of the Juneteenth movement, celebrating her lifelong advocacy for this important holiday.

Finally, we spotlight a collaborative effort in the Denver area to utilize a $200 million federal grant for heat pump initiatives, aiming to improve air quality and public health while supporting low-income households.
