Today, she's a bit loopy after a mostly sleepless night -- my regular state just about every day. But there's lots to talk about. Trump's continuing unraveling as we get closer to election day.

10-19-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Who Wants to be a Dictator?
Download here or click below to play Since Donald Trump is, in reality, a game show host, I thought that today, we'd play a little game of Who Wants to be a Dictator?

Davis, author of Strongman: The Rise of Five Dictators and the Fall of Democracy. Later in the hour, I'll check in with Liam O'Mara, progressive Democratic candidate running for Congress from CA-42.

10-14-20 Nicole Sandler Show – A Stepford Wife Goes to the Supreme Court
Download here or click below to play I've been watching the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett so you don't have to. After listening to her, I never want to hear the words " I don't want to express a view on that" again. Thankfully, for the second half of today's show, I'm joined by Lisa Graves of True North Research. She will express her views, and she's got the bona fides to weigh in on this nominee. Lisa is a former chief counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee under then-chair Patrick Leahy and more. On [...]

Download here or click below to play They're really doing it! Instead of coming together to pass some kind of relief for the millions suffering from the effects of the pandemic, the Republican Senate leadership is forcing a rushed Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Today is Day One, when all 22 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee give their opening remarks. So does nominee Amy Coney Barrett. It's a depressing day in America. After an update on the news and a recap of some of today's hearing, we'll speak with Jennifer Taub about her new book, Big Dirty Money: The [...]
