Rep. Mike Soboleski

Matt Gagnon and Mike Soboleski discussed the Maine legislature’s response to the Trump administration’s demands for compliance with Title IX, particularly regarding transgender athletes. Soboleski criticized the Democrats for deflecting issues and not addressing the Maine Human Rights Act, which he believes unfairly manipulates children. He proposed a bill to remove gender identity from the Act. Gagnon highlighted the misinterpretation of the Act by the Mills administration. They also debated the recent state budget, noting a significant increase in funding for certain programs and criticizing the Democrats for fiscal irresponsibility, including overfunding the unemployment insurance trust fund and allocating excessive funds to climate action programs.
