Lisa Graves Told You So re Leonard Leo on The Nicole Sandler Show 6-4-25

      For many years, Lisa Graves has been exposing Leonard Leo for the sleazebag he is. The Dumpster fire in DC finally got the message! Lisa wrote about the man Extreme Court inJustice Clarence Thomas called "the third most powerful man in the world" in her Grave Injustice substack newsletter today, and joins us on today's show to show just how prescient she is... and give us the dirt she's been reporting on since before Leo orchestrated the scheme to turn the high court into the shit show it is today.

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 5-23-25

      There was no shortage of real news this week, almost none of it good! But the media is still set on telling us that Joe Biden is old. And you wonder why I call it Opposite World?! It’s another Emptywheel Friday, when we get together with the seemingly indefatigable Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to take a look back at what happened in this years-long week! From action in the courts, to the flying bribe palace and presidential corruption on a scale never seen before, we have a lot to talk about today. Before I sign off [...]

Thursday Update & a Visit with John Fugelsang – Nicole Sandler Show 5-22-25

  The second time is the charm! We had our wires crossed on Tuesday, so John Fugelsang did not join us then. But he is here today. We have much to catch up on since the last time we spoke. He jumps in for the second half hour of the show. To get us started though, a bit of an update. I was out yesterday for a medical test. It seems that as we get older, our bodies don't work as well as they used to. So I'm trying to figure out what's going on...  As if that and [...]

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 [...]

6-12-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Stolen Democracy with Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman

Download here or click below to play   I've watched the political persecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman for more than a decade in abject horror that such a political assassination of a much-loved governor could happen in the United States of America. But it did, and justice was not served in any manner. Siegelman was targeted by Karl Rove and brought down on false charges of bribery in a case antithetical to the concept of democracy. Having served more than five years in federal prison for no crime, Siegelman finally tells the whole story in his new book, [...]

Death, Taxes and The Donald’s Duplicity: Who Wore It Better?

    916 million USD prime dollars. Of IRS deductions that could last until his Trump Squad of lawyers cannot run out the election clock any further. The New York Times' Susanne Craig was gifted with much of this info by snail mail … three whole juicy pages on Trump's 1995 taxes… Bouyah! An old school reporter's request (and some to-be-determined hands of 'fate') brought her the Get of the season. She aptly titled the revelatory article published on Sunday, "The Time I Found Donald Trump’s Tax Records in My Mailbox" A manila envelope led to old-style investigative journalism involving a [...]

Conservative website: “Rubio’s run is just about done.”

The headline quote comes from this conservative site. I hope it's accurate. Back in 2010, I wrote two posts: “Just what is going on here between” Marco Rubio & healthcare lobbyist Amber Stoner?  and The mystery of Marco Rubio & healthcare lobbyist Amber Stoner, Part 2. Link over for the back story and screen grabs from a very public, accessible database of Rubio’s credit card records. Maybe we'll finally get some answers to that lingering question during this election cycle.Via The Political Insider:But now, a new investigation by a South Carolina insider lets us know that a “mistress bombshell” is about to explode!
