Polling that Andrew Ross Sorkin found while researching "1929" suggests it was President Hoover’s opposition to repealing Prohibition rather than concerns about the economy that doomed his 1932 reelection bid. "[Hoover] could have reversed himself .. and then I wonder whether he would have won."
Danielle Crittenden and David Frum's daughter Miranda died suddenly in 2024. In her new book, Crittenden grapples with her grief and remembers the daughter she lost. "She was brilliant...One of her friends said that he had never met in real life a person who was so casually witty."
"Every crash is really about one thing. It's about credit, it's about debt, too much debt in the system," says @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social, author of "Too Big to Fail" and "1929." "That is the match that lights the fire of every financial crisis." Follow on Apple: bit.ly/484tjuy
Republicans “lost moral high ground” on health care because “for too long Republican policymakers were animated by one goal, and that was the repeal of Obamacare,” says health care expert Lanhee Chen.
“Our immigration policies are undermining supply of labor in a lot of different areas, including and particularly health care,” says Lanhee Chen. What has made the American health care system “the finest in the world…is that we have been able to train and retain talent from around the world.”
"If you are looking to have a significant surgical procedure, you're probably going to do it in America," says Lanhee Chen. "Yet we have a health care system that produces unreasonably high rates of infant mortality." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @PBS.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf
"If Jeffrey Epstein's core businesses were money laundering and blackmail, a pseudonymous currency that operates outside the banking system would be very attractive," @benmckenzie.bsky.social says of Epstein's investments in the early stages of cryptocurrency. Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4e9HvG7
In "1929," Andrew Ross Sorkin confronts false narratives about the Depression, including negative perceptions of Herbert Hoover driven by Democratic operatives that began before the stock market crashed. "It actually has a demonstrable impact on the dim view that people have of Hoover's role."
"The person who's lost this child just learns to go quiet because they can't express what they're really going through." Danielle Crittenden--whose daughter Miranda died at age 32--says she wrote "Dispatches from Grief" to help others understand the pain experienced by parents who suffer that loss.
What would happen if a president chose to defy a ruling by the #SupremeCourt? "Our democracy and our Constitution would be in danger,” Justice Anthony Kennedy told Margaret Hoover last fall.

Americans need to stand up to their government like Iranian stood up to Trump. They need to take the streets and demand change. No aid to Israel. Until then USA is reaponsible for every little 5 year old shot by Israel in their mother’s arm.
