Maryland’s Hidden Family Leave Tax and Even MAGA Can’t Deny Trump’s Economy Is Crashing
Torrey Snow and Yuripzy Morgan unpack Maryland’s paid family leave program — the one passed in 2022, delayed for years, and now set to take money from your paycheck starting January 2027. Employers and workers both pay in. Benefits cap at $1,000 a week. They argue Governor Wes Moore did not want this on the ballot while he was running. Then they go after the economy Trump promised to fix: Maryland layoffs (including defense and tech), $4 gas, sticky inflation, and a Fed that is still talking rate hikes two months before the midterms. Also in this episode: • Trump’s fight with mail-in ballots, the new USPS rules, and what the Supreme Court actually did • Wes Moore’s late gerrymandering push, the special session, and why two Maryland judges blocked the ballot question • WBAL News Radio layoffs — the station where both hosts started New weekly live streams start Thursday at 8pm.
