Bernie Sanders Fighting the Oligarchy on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-10-25

     We usually spend Mondays talking about the latest news with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com, but he's out today doing something important with his son. And frankly, I just don't have it in me today. I was trying to find something that would bring some hope to my feelings of hopelessness right now, when a video titled 'Stress Kills' appeared in my email from Bernie Sanders. He seems to be the only person in DC who's actually out there making noise and trying to help. He's been traveling the country on his Fighting Oligarchy tour. So today, we'll [...]

Emptywheel Friday on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-7-25

 We reached another Friday and it was another week filled with more crap than we could cover in an hour-long discussion, which is what Marcy Wheeler and I try to do each Friday. This morning, Marcy put up a long, information-filled post at emptywheel.net titled "Attention Deficit and Defiance Division of Labor: There's Stuff Happening Where You're Not Looking" which provided a bit of a blueprint for today's conversation -- and lots of links you can click on while you follow along. Coming up next week -- in addition to our regulars Jonathan [...]

Economy Crashing Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-6-25

     Watching the Dow crash for the third day in a row since the megalomaniac in chief unilaterally put 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, the orange one tried to change course again. First he suspended tariffs on cars from both nations. Then he paused the tariffs on Mexico for a month. As the market kept hemorrhaging, the then paused the tariffs on Canada for a month too. The Dow regained about 100 points of today's loss, but still closed down 428 points for the day, adding to the more than 1200 point drop sustained over [...]

Craig Unger on Russian Asset Donald Trump – Nicole Sandler Show 3-5-25

       Craig Unger is a journalist and NY Times bestselling author of six books, two of which deal directly with his reporting on what led him to conclude that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. I first spoke with Craig in January of 2021 for the release of his book American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and related Tales of Sex Greed, Power and Treachery, a week after Joe Biden was inaugurated and I thought we were done with Trump for good. I reached out to him after last Friday's disastrous Oval Office meeting between [...]

FOIA Master Jason Leopold on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-4-25

       Jason Leopold has been dubbed the "FOIA Terrorist" by the government. I don't like the word terrorist, so I call him the FOIA Master... He writes the FOIA Files for Bloomberg News, where he continues breaking news. Jason's work is truly important. I caught up with him a few days ago after our last conversation was delayed due to the LA fires. We have a few minutes left at the end, so I'm also sharing my interview with Craig Unger, author of the book American Kompromat recorded in 2021 when it was released. It's about how [...]

F&*King Monday with the F&*king News on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-3-25

     Mondays are inevitable. Sadly, in recent weeks, the news on Mondays has been tragic and today is no exception. We're still reeling from the spectacle in the Oval Office on Friday and coming to terms with the fact that the man occupying the White House has aligned us with Russia over our allies in Europe. And as further proof that Dump is trying to crash the economy, the stock market took a huge dump today after the orange thing announced that his 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada would go into effect tomorrow. Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com [...]

Emptywheel Friday And a Massive Oval Office Ambush & Meltdown on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-28-25

       Today is Friday, when we get together with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to recap much of what happened in the week leading up to our conversation. We record these shows on Friday mornings here in Arizona/Friday afternoons for Marcy in Ireland. Today, while we were recording, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelinskyy arrived at the White House to meet with Trump, ostensibly to sign a deal for Ukraine to compensate the US for our help in defending them against Russia. I had the tape-delayed coverage running on a computer screen off to my right. When Marcy and I [...]

FL Can Help with Howie Klein & Josh Weil on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-27-25

        I know. I escaped Florida after living there for half of my life. I don't have many kind words to say about the state that has mostly become a bad joke. But I'll sing their praises if the people of Florida come through on April 1. (And I'm not talking about an April Fools prank!) There are two special congressional races in FL being held that day to replace two of D'ump's cabinet nominees. Matt Gaetz left Congress as the rep for District 1 when he was ridiculously nominated to be AG. Thankfully we dodged that [...]

David Dayen on the State of the News on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-26-25

     The current regime has announced that they are following the authoritarian's handbook when it comes to controlling the media. Banning the AP from the Oval Office and other press events with the liar-in-chief wasn't enough for them, so now they've decided that they will decide which reporters and media outlets will be allowed to cover the office of the president in the WH Press Pool. The NY Times' chief White House correspondent Peter Baker likened the move to "how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access." [...]

Tuesday Afternoon with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-25-25

      A huge part of surviving this assault on our nation from within is our ability to maintain our sanity. One lesson I've learned in the past five weeks is that some days are better than others. I look forward to those mornings when the usual pit in my stomach doesn't fully form and I'm able to make it through the day without dissolving into a trembling mess. So far, so good today. I like days like these because I'm more able to catch up on my reading and somehow digest the avalanche of surreal news that, on [...]
