This week on the podcast, Cate and Esther unpack the political and human consequences of Pres. Donald Trump’s threats of war crimes and the fragile ceasefire that followed, examining what it means for global alliances, moral leadership, and the growing financial burden on taxpayers.
Closer to home, they break down key parts of Maine’s supplemental budget, including a new 2% surtax on income over $1 million, expanded child care support, and continued investment in emergency rental assistance. Esther also shares her firsthand experience applying for the new Paid Family and Medical Leave program and why this program is so important for Mainers navigating major life events.
