  • Trump's Approval Dips, While New Jersey Moves to Expand Family Leave

    Trump's Approval Dips, While New Jersey Moves to Expand Family Leave
    2025/12/17
    In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen presents a range of uplifting stories that showcase resilience and progress in the face of challenges. A recent poll indicates a significant decline in support for Donald Trump among both mainstream Republicans and his MAGA base, suggesting a shift in political dynamics. Meanwhile, New Jersey is taking steps to expand its family leave law, potentially benefiting 1.7 million workers who currently lack coverage, highlighting a growing recognition of caregiving needs in society.

    In a bold legal move, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, challenging his unconstitutional designation of the organization as a terrorist entity. This case underscores the ongoing fight for civil rights and free speech.

    Additionally, baristas in Connecticut are joining a nationwide strike against Starbucks, advocating for fair labor practices and better working conditions, as part of a broader movement for workers' rights.

    We also discuss the dismissal of Donald Trump's pledge to pardon a convicted former Colorado county clerk, with state officials asserting that he lacks the legal authority to intervene in state court matters. Lastly, Senate Democrats have introduced a bill to prevent any living president from having their likeness on U.S. currency, reinforcing the principles of democracy and accountability.

    Join us as we explore these inspiring stories and more, reminding us that hope and positive change are always within reach!

  • Michigan Moves for Impeachment as Ohio's Gubernatorial Race Tightens

    Michigan Moves for Impeachment as Ohio's Gubernatorial Race Tightens
    2025/12/16
    In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen brings you a collection of uplifting stories that highlight accountability, progress, and resilience. U.S. Representative Haley Stevens has taken a bold stand by filing articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing his dangerous misinformation campaign that undermines public health. Meanwhile, in Ohio, Democrat Amy Acton is neck and neck with Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the governor's race, signaling a shift in voter sentiment as women increasingly rally behind Acton.

    In a remarkable development, Fervo Energy has secured $462 million in funding to advance geothermal energy technology, aiming to revolutionize clean power generation in the U.S. This innovative approach could pave the way for a sustainable energy future. Additionally, a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from re-arresting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant, marking a significant victory in the ongoing struggle for immigrant rights.

    We also celebrate the return of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who has renewed his contract for another season, much to the delight of his fans. In Missouri, a court has mandated clearer wording for a ballot measure that could impact abortion rights, ensuring voters are fully informed about the proposed changes.
