This week, we celebrate Montana Towers’ birthday by first talking about the release of Maine Policy Institute’s 2026 Policy Blueprint. We detail what is inside the document, and what we are hoping to accomplish with it. It is, of course, already being attacked by the usual suspects in the left-wing progressive chattering class, but we find that delightful.
We also catch up on LePage v. Dunlap in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. Speaker Mike Johnson visited Maine this week touting LePage as among the most qualified candidates for Congress in history, and Dunlap secured the backing (albeit tepidly, and a bit late) of Planned Parenthood. We chat about how we view that race at the end of August.
Finally, we mark a sad milestone: the United States reaching $40 trillion of debt. How did we get to this point? Why is no one addressing the problem? What would it take to even begin to dig out of this hole? In a world where neither party is serious about the debt, can we ever hope to reverse course?
That and more on this week’s Pine Tree Pulse.
