In this episode of Good News for Lefties, we dive into some uplifting updates that are sure to brighten your day! A recent Fox News poll reveals that Donald Trump's approval ratings have hit a new low, with only 38% of Americans satisfied with his economic handling. Meanwhile, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to reconsider deportation protections for vulnerable young immigrants, ensuring their futures are not jeopardized.

Additionally, the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate Workers Union has overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike, highlighting the ongoing struggle for fair wages and benefits in academia. In a landmark decision, a bankruptcy judge has approved a $7.4 billion settlement to address the opioid crisis, holding Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family accountable.

We also share an inspiring story from Athens, Georgia, where every high school senior now has an investment portfolio, thanks to the Gifted Savings program, aimed at enhancing financial literacy among youth. Plus, Santa Fe City Council has raised its minimum wage to $17.50, becoming the first city to factor housing costs into future wage calculations.
