Today on Stateside, we spoke with Akela Lacy, Senior Politics Reporter at The Intercept, on new reporting exposing Congressman Shri Thanedar, a Democrat, for putting millions of dollars of campaign contributions into cryptocurrency funds. Read Lacy's story here: Two-Thirds of Shri Thanedar’s Campaign Cash Came Through AIPAC as He Lost Over $600K
CORRECTION: In the original broadcast, our guest misspoke about Thanedar’s voting record on funding for Israel. In July, Thanedar voted against a measure that would strip U.S. support for Israel. He was in the slim majority of Democrats who also voted that way. This misstatement has been removed from the archive of the show.
Also on today's show, a new witchy retelling of the wives of Henry the VIII, from northern Michigan writer Jillian Laine. Her book, “Henry Tudor Must Die,” publishes tomorrow.
Plus, we bring you a new episode of On Hand: cherries aren't native to Michigan so how did the state become the cherry capital. Find out here.
GUESTS ON TODAY’S SHOW:
