The Courts, Rule of Law and Lisa Graves – Nicole Sandler Show 6-25-25

    While we await the final rulings of this term from the Supreme Extreme Court, we're still getting decisions from them along with rulings from lower courts which may, or may not, apply nationally... depending on what SCOTUS rules when they finally get around to announcing their final decisions of the term. It's not only tedious but unnerving, frightening and based on their recent records, potentially (and probably) sickening. There's also a confirmation hearing for Judge Emil Bove, a person wholly unsuitable for a federal, lifetime appointment to the bench, this morning. And the orange wannabe dick-tator held [...]

Brian Karem Rides with us on the TrumperCoaster of War – Nicole Sandler Show 6-24-25

It's another TrumperCoaster ride so get your barf bags ready. We've ridden many TrumperCoasters over the last 10 years, but this one might be the most nauseating. He's the "peace president" who drops bombs. He threatens, cajoles and lies at every turn. He's delusional I can't explain it. Perhaps Brian Karem can... He does a pretty good job of it at Salon.com, on his Just Ask the Question podcast, on his substack and social media and, occasionally, on this show. Hopefully he can help us a bit on today's show... https://youtu.be/eh0gEBeRzh0

Truly F’d Up News on This F’n News Monday- Nicole Sandler Show 6-23-25

      For some reason it seems like President D'ump likes those Friday night news dumps. So of course, after throwing out his standard delay brain crutch of "2 weeks," the man who can't think for himself launched an attack on three "nuclear sites" inside of Iran, breaking a big campaign promise to keep us out of Middle East wars, inserted us right in the middle of one. Shortly before showtime we learned that Iran retaliated. However, AP reported that "this missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-20-25

  We survived another week, though this one had quite a few precarious moments, much of which went unreported by the mainstream, corporate media and certainly ignored by the right-wing media which most of MAGAt-world erroneously considers news and trusts to (dis) inform them. It's a big reason why I do this show and why these Friday episodes with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net are so important. And although we usually run over our allotted hour (like today), there's still a lot of real news that we don't have time to cover. Since our last get-together last Friday, so much has happened. [...]

Juneteenth Thursday with Howie Klein – Nicole Sandler Show 6-19-25

      Happy Juneteenth! It's our newest federal holiday, recognized as such in 2021 after President Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Even D'ump proposed making Juneteenth a national holiday during his first re-election bid. But he's done an about face since somehow getting back into office in January, with a vendetta against "DEI" and, by his attitude and actions, reaffirming his followers' rights to let their racists flags fly. He's bringing back Jim Crow which did NOT recognize Juneteenth. Today is also the first day of summer and things are literally heating up... On [...]

WTF Wednesday on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-18-25

  This is one of those days in the middle of one of those weeks during one of those months in the inconceivable, unbelievable second term of an imbecile. There's an avalanche of news, precious little of it good. We don't have a guest today, so our pal Spocko joined in to talk about much of the day's news. We cover a lot of ground, share a lot of video - especially from a contentious hearing today in the Senate Armed Services Committee where the completely in-over-his-head Defense Sec (sic) Whiskey Pete Hegseth and the also unqualified and wrong person [...]

Will Bunch Weighs In on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-17-25

    While the guy who obviously thinks of himself as America's "dear leader" demanded Iran's "Unconditional Surrender" and unilaterally (I guess) decided that "we" will not kill their supreme leader (though he boasts of knowing where he is), it's another Tuesday in America. DC is still grappling with the Big, Ugly Bill and the Republicans continue vacillating on Trump's immigration pronouncements... the chaos continues. And in New York City, ICE and other masked and unidentified thugs rough up and detain Brad Lander(gift link)  the NYC Comptroller who is also a Democratic candidate for Mayor! We'll deal with some of [...]

No Kings, Ego Parade Bust & Lots of F’n News Monday on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-16-25

  We begin each week here on the Nicole Sandler Show by catching up on the news with Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com and yes, there certainly was a lot of fucking news made over the weekend. When we last spoke on Friday, we were reeling from the treatment of California's Senator Alex Padilla at a press conference at the federal building in Los Angeles held by DHS secretary Kristi Noem. He was forcibly removed, tackled to the floor and handcuffed. It was awful. That didn't prepare us for the horrific news of Israel striking Iran and Iran striking back. [...]

Emptywheel Friday (the 13th) – Nicole Sandler Show 6-13-25

      Every Friday, Emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler joins Nicole Sandler to recap much of went down since we spoke the Friday before. We usually start the show amazed at just how much had happened in a week, but today seems to be in a new category altogether. We knew at the start that we'd be running a bit longer than usual, and on Fridays we do tend to run over the one hour this show usually runs. Today, we were dealing with the inept and grossly incompetent Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's congressional testimony this week, Trump's unconstitutional deployment [...]

They Forcibly Removed a US Senator! Nicole Sandler Show 6-12-25

My plans for today's show changed just moments before showtime as there was really disturbing breaking news!  Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed - wrestled to the ground and handcuffed at a Kristie Noem press conference after LOUDLY AND CLEARLY identifying himself. Disturbing scene of Senator Alex Padilla being handcuffed pic.twitter.com/T8GjjrR9A2 — Acyn (@Acyn) June 12, 2025 This is what Sen Padilla did. He identified himself, but they accosted him.
