On this episode of the podcast, Ben, Cate and Esther provide an overview on what’s happened at the federal level this past week — from Pres. Donald Trump’s unconstitutional threat to deport a Palestinian activist with a green card, to how the potential Canadian boycott of Maine would impact the state’s local businesses and overall economy.
Also, Cate gives an update on Maine’s ongoing state budget issues as Senate Republicans voted against the budget on Tuesday, leading to uncertainty about funding for nursing homes and hospitals.
But everyday Mainers don’t have to watch from the sidelines.
