Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 4-4-25

     We wrap up each week on the Friday show with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. This week was a rollercoaster with Cory Booker stepping up to offer motivation and passion and, dare I say, hope. I don't think we've reached the bottom of the rollercoaster yet, as we're watching the Dow in free fall for the second day in a row, and the inflation that's sure to kick in from Trump's new tariffs haven't hit us yet... Strap in, it's a bumpy ride! https://youtu.be/S-d2V_a1LUo

Wisconsin Win, Floriduh, Cory Booker & Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-2-25

When Senator Booker [...]

But whatever you call it, it's here. And if you're not participating in it, then you're helping to take down our nation and our future. Today, Joan Walsh joins us to talk about it, for what it's worth. She wrote two articles in the past week that I want to point you towards: "My Weekend of Anti-Trump, Anti-Musk “Defiance”  and "Pramila Jayapal: “We Have to Stand [...]

Tuesday Titters

I thought we could all use a few laughs today, so after a serious conversation with Crooks & Liars' Susie Madrak about her piece "Anybody but Cory Booker," we had some fun at the expense of today's GOP and, yes, Anthony Weiner's wiener. There's nothing funny about who NJ will elect as its next US Senator, but I'm with Susie.  I'd much rather see a progressive like Rush Holt or Frank Pallone, but it seems as if the media has already anointed super hero Booker as senator.  Meanwhile, NJ is battling some fierce weather today, so turnout will likely be [...]
