Her commitment to accountability sends a powerful message that no one is above the law, reinforcing the importance of justice for all New Yorkers.Meanwhile, California and New York are leading the charge in regulating artificial intelligence, advancing legislation aimed at preventing potential harm from powerful AI systems.

  • Congressional Action for Peace, California's Overdose Protection, and Housing Solutions for Families in Need

    Congressional Action for Peace, California's Overdose Protection, and Housing Solutions for Families in Need
    2025/09/14
    In this episode of Good News for Lefties, we celebrate significant strides in progressive policies and community support across the nation. The U.S. House of Representatives has made a bold move by voting to repeal outdated authorizations for military action, signaling a shift towards reclaiming congressional authority over war powers. With bipartisan support, this amendment aims to curb executive overreach and promote a more peaceful foreign policy.

    California is taking proactive measures to protect students in overdose situations by passing Assembly Bill 602, which prohibits academic penalties for those seeking emergency medical help. This crucial legislation encourages students to prioritize safety without the fear of jeopardizing their education.

    In environmental news, California is also tackling PFAS contamination with a new mitigation fund aimed at cleaning up harmful chemicals from water systems. This initiative reflects the state's commitment to public health and environmental justice, setting a powerful example for others to follow.

    Delaware is enhancing access to COVID-19 vaccines by allowing pharmacists to administer vaccines to all eligible residents, ensuring that preventative care remains accessible amidst shifting federal guidelines.

    Finally, we highlight the inspiring transformation of a former diner into the Betty Bazaar Community Center in Los Angeles, providing child care services for families experiencing homelessness. This innovative center not only fosters early childhood education but also supports parents in pursuing work opportunities.
