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.

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 [...]

Monday Madness with Joan Walsh on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-24-25

Despite our best efforts to keep the weekend going, Mondays inevitably arrive. And with Mondays come the reality of the shit that hit the fan over the weekend. The madness began (or continued) Friday evening when we learned that D'ump had his unqualified, drunken idiot of a Secretary of Defense fire the highly qualified chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At The Nation, Joan Walsh's article on this travesty carries the headline, "Make No Mistake, This is Trump's Worst Move Yet". And that says something, as we know the moves he'd previously made. Joan Walsh joins me [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-21-25

With the D'ump/Musk regime working at breakneck speed to destroy our democracy, it's hard to keep up with it all. That's one reason I'm so grateful that Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net sits down with us for an hour (or more) each Friday to help us understand what happened that week. Since Marcy is in Ireland and I'm in Arizona, we record these sessions right around noon ET. By the time it goes live at 5ET/2PT, some things may have already changed .. as is the case today. When we got around to discussing the case of NYC Mayor Eric [...]

Thursday in Opposite World with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-20-25

I've long theorized about our existence in "Opposite World" but never has it been more apparent than today as the sitting US President lies to the world about who started and is responsible for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war, now in its third year. The ONLY chance we have at making it out of this mess with any semblance of democracy in place is in the hands of Congressional Republicans. We only need a few in the House and four in the Senate, but are any of them willing to challenge the [...]

Journalist Brian Karem Returns to the Nicole Sandler Show 2-18-25

    I didn't do a new show yesterday. That's because I was out at the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix protesting with a few thousand others. I will embed the videos I shot at the bottom of this post so you can see some of it for yourself. We must ALL step up in whatever ways we can to fight back against the oligarchy and preserve our democracy. Also, I will not be here tomorrow. I was able to get in to see an endocrinologist. Right now, I must take care of myself and try to get healthy again [...]
