 We start with the latest polling data revealing that Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to 36%, reflecting widespread discontent among voters regarding his immigration policies and overall presidency.

Next, we celebrate Oregon's Senate passing a transformative plan projected to generate over $300 million for essential public services by eliminating certain tax breaks inspired by Trump's tax cuts. This plan also introduces new tax credits aimed at supporting low and moderate-income families, helping to alleviate financial pressures from rising living costs.

We also highlight the return of the podcast Band Camp, where hosts Dan and Jen explore the reasons behind book bans, beginning with the classic The Catcher in the Rye. Their humorous and insightful discussions provide a fresh perspective on censorship and literature.

In a bold legal move, Michigan joins other states in suing major oil companies for allegedly colluding to suppress competition from renewable energy sources, a lawsuit that could reshape the energy market and promote cleaner alternatives.

New Hampshire's Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte made headlines by vetoing a discriminatory bill aimed at restricting transgender individuals from accessing spaces that align with their gender identity, reinforcing the state's commitment to inclusivity.

A listener-suggested story reveals a significant conservation victory in California's Bay Area, where a historic ranch was saved from development, ensuring the protection of its rich ecological and cultural heritage.

Finally, we share the inspiring story of Juan Leon, who has been using his tow truck business to help families reclaim vehicles abandoned during ICE operations, providing a vital service to those affected by immigration enforcement.

Join us for this uplifting episode packed with stories of hope, activism, and the ongoing pursuit of justice!
