Trump’s Allies Revolt, Climate Bills Pass & Grad Students Unionize: Daily News for Progressives!
In today’s episode of Good News For Lefties, Beowulf Rochlen delivers six massive victories for democracy, workers, and human dignity. First, Wisconsin voters defy Elon Musk’s millions and elect a progressive judge in the most expensive judicial race ever. Then, we meet Hannah, a cancer survivor whose life was saved by paid medical leave—and the growing movement fighting to make it law nationwide. In the halls of academia, a quiet revolution is brewing as grad students and professors from Yale to Illinois State unionize against exploitative universities. Meanwhile, inside California’s largest women’s prison, incarcerated journalists launch The Paper Trail—the first independent newspaper of its kind, shattering stereotypes and reclaiming their voices. The climate fight takes center stage as Vermont and New York lead a 10-state charge to force Big Oil to pay for wildfires and disasters—while the GOP scrambles to stop them. And in a stunning twist, even Republicans are rebelling, with a Trump loyalist slamming his own party’s Putin appeasement in a blistering New York Times op-ed.Listen to Love Doesn't Pay The Bills with Lisa Tschudi.Listen to our friends Jennifer and Dan of the Banned Camp podcast at BannedCampPodcast.comListen to This Week Again with Susanne Posel.And listen to The Good Government Show with Dave Martin.If you have thoughts, ideas, or more good news to share, we’d love to hear from you!

CFPB Saved, Teachers Win, Green Steel Rises – Daily News For Democracy!
Welcome to Good News For Lefties, the podcast that delivers your weekly dose of progressive victories. Host Beowulf Rochlen dives into six major wins for the Left, packed with historical context, grassroots voices, and actionable takeaways. A federal judge blocks Trump’s dismantling of the CFPB, slamming Elon Musk’s DOGE for trying to illegally shutter the agency that protects consumers from Wall Street. Then: After a year of tense negotiations, the Chicago Teachers Union secures a potential deal with CPS—proving even "friendly" administrations need pressure from organized labor. Plus: West Virginia bans toxic food dyes in schools, joining California in putting kids’ health over corporate profits—despite the GOP’s usual anti-regulation rhetoric. And: Vermont’s Senate unanimously passes a pared-down but meaningful data privacy bill, sidestepping Gov. Scott’s veto threats while still protecting users and democracy from Big Tech. Meanwhile: Washington’s rent stabilization bill clears a key hurdle, offering hope to tenants facing skyrocketing housing costs—though corporate landlords are fighting back. Finally: A groundbreaking MIT startup, Boston Metal, pioneers carbon-free steel production—a potential game-changer for one of the world’s dirtiest industries.

Democrat Upset in PA, DOGE Drama, SCOTUS Saves Press Freedom, Tesla Protests & Alzheimer’s Hope
Welcome to Good News For Lefties, the daily news podcast where progressive victories, liberal triumphs, and leftist resistance get the spotlight they deserve! In this episode, host Beowulf Rochlen delivers an uplifting rundown of stories that’ll make democracy-loving, Trump-resisting lefties cheer. First, a major upset in Pennsylvania as Democrat James Malone flips a deep-red state senate seat, proving that grassroots organizing and "kindness over criticism" can still win in Trump country. Then, judicial pushback against DOGE’s heavy-handed takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace, as a federal judge slams the Trump administration’s "armed law enforcement" tactics. Next, the Supreme Court refuses to gut press freedom, leaving New York Times v. Sullivan intact despite Steve Wynn’s billionaire whining. Meanwhile, Tennessee activists protest Tesla dealerships in solidarity with DOGE layoffs, showing Elon Musk that his union-busting won’t go unchallenged. And in hopeful science news, a potential breakthrough in delaying Alzheimer’s offers a glimmer of progress against a disease that’s long eluded treatment. Finally, clean energy keeps crushing coal, with wind and solar now outpacing the dirty fossil fuel in over half of U.S. states—despite Trump’s desperate "beautiful, clean coal" fantasies.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
