Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-14-24

By |March 14th, 2024|Tags: , , , , |

     It's Thursday, so time for our weekly get-together with Howie Klein of downwithtyranny.com & the Blue America PAC. This week, both Biden and TFG clinched their party's nominations, so buckle in for a loooonger than our already ridiculously long election season and all that comes with it. There's lots of political news to discuss with Howie today, but I'll certainly save a few minutes to talk about this week's losses (of some amazing musicians)... I played a song  at the top of the show from a bunch of Nashville based artists supporting Gloria Johnson for Senate (she's [...]

Wednesday Wisdom with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-13-24

By |March 13th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

     Because sometimes you just need to sit with a brilliant friend and shoot the shit about all the craziness in our world. That's how I approach the shows when Heather "Digby" Parton is our guest. Digby is, of course, one of the OG bloggers of progressive politics. Her Hullabaloo blog is still a daily must-read, as are her columns at Salon.com. I love it when Digby is my guest because I truly adore her and love our conversations, which can go in any direction. We never know where it'll go until the interview progresses. Too bad there's [...]

Whoops Tuesday on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-12-24

By |March 12th, 2024|Tags: , , , |

     Post-show note from Nicole: Never mind! Time to fire my producer again as she apparently forgot to re-confirm Barb McQuade and send the Zoom link, so Barb will be rescheduled in the next week or two. Time to go flog Nicole again. JFC, you'd think she'd learn by now how to do her job. That said, we did hear a lot of this morning's Robert Hur hearing which was as insane as you thought it would be. Legal scholar and analyst Barbara McQuade became known to many of us due to her spot-on punditry on MSNBC and [...]

It’s Monday Again So We’ve Got The Fucking News on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-11-24

By |March 11th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

     Mondays. They happen like clockwork every week, coming right after the weekend to put an official end to our fun. So on Mondays, we check in with Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News  to help ease us back into the work week with an irreverent discussion of the serious shit happening in our world. Jonathan joins in at the bottom of the hour... And we check in with Spocko who fact checks the crazy rebuttal from Katie Britt who apparently learned one thing from the head of the Republican party: how to lie! While the rest of [...]

Emptywheel Friday SOTU Edition on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-8-24

By |March 8th, 2024|Tags: , , , |

       I always look forward to Fridays for the obvious reasons: the weekend and emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler! Marcy  and I have a standing date every Friday to discuss the week's happenings in Trump Trial and other national security and other news of importance. Today we speak on the morning after President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, likely the last time before the convention that he'll have the opportunity to speak to the nation and the world. My quick review? He hit it out of the park, exactly what we needed at this juncture. Marcy Wheeler [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-7-24

By |March 7th, 2024|Tags: , , , , |

     It's been a politically busy week in the US, so we have lots to discuss with Howie Klein of downwithtyranny.com and the Blue America PAC today. Super Tuesday solidified Trump as the Republican nominee with Nikki Haley dropping out. California finalized its two senatorial candidates who'll be vying for Dianne Feinstein's former seat, and Katie Porter isn't one of them (but she did something really stupid after she lost)... What else did we learn from Super Tuesday? I'll ask Howie. And, oh yeah, tonight's the State of the Union. And in case you hadn't heard, Joe Biden [...]

White Rural Rage with Tom Schaller & Paul Waldman on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-6-24

By |March 6th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , , |

     A new book is out and making waves because it points out an ugly truth about a huge swatch of this nation. Following yesterday's Super Tuesday primaries, the top of the 2024 presidential ticket is now set. It'll be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as if we didn't know that would be the case. What has changed is the political landscape of middle America - or Rural America. Tom Schaller, Political Science Professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore and journalist/columnist Paul Waldman have co-authored a new book that helps to explain the divide: WHITE [...]

SCOTUS Screwed Us with Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-5-24

By |March 5th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , |

     Well, they sure took their sweet time to stick a dagger in the heart of democracy and now the Supreme Extreme Court is dragging its feet before it strikes the death blow. Rather than immediately putting us out of (or increasing our) misery quickly (like they did in Bush v Gore 2000), they're draaagggging it out another six long weeks. Yes, the court will hear TFG's bullshit case where he's claiming "absolute immunity" for his actions related to the January 6 insurrection that he led! It took the court three weeks just to say they would hear [...]

It’s F$&cking Monday So Get Your F#^cking News on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-4-24

     Making Mondays suck a little less... Mondays come every week, inconveniently at the end of a weekend. It's difficult to make that transition from down time to work time, especially when the work involves the (usually depressing) news. Today is no different! It began with the Supreme/Extreme Court deciding unanimously that TFG will be on the primary ballots, saying that regardless of whether or not Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies, it's up to Congress to make that call, not the individual states. So, D'ump will be on the Colorado ballot tomorrow and in the other [...]

It’s Emptywheel Friday on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-1-24

By |March 1st, 2024|Tags: , , , , , , |

   Friday was always my favorite day of the week, and now even more so since we started spending Friday's shows with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. Having a tough time keeping all of the Trump trials straight? Somehow, Marcy stays on top of it all. Each week she answers whatever questions I throw at her, and she does it without consulting notes or quick searches. She just covers it all and somehow is able to speak off the cuff about it. Today, we'll talk about the Supreme Court's decision to take up TFG's immunity defense, Hunter Biden's closed door [...]
