We're still here. A bit battered and tattered and dejected, but we're grieving. We'll get through this. Today, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net has a bit of a reality check for us. There's no sugar coating it, it's bad. But not ALL of it is bad. And I'll share some small good news too. We could all use some more of that. Breathe.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEn3_tfDUBU
Here we go... it's the last Emptywheel Friday episode before this election finally comes to a close. I've been struggling with awful anxiety for the last couple of weeks and have been off the air much of this week due to that. Another reason to be grateful for Marcy Wheeler's friendship and brilliance... Find and support Marcy's work at emptywheel.net.

Another week is winding down and, as we do each Friday, Marcy Wheeler and I stick a fork in it with a freewheeling discussion of what happened. Today we begin with the release of Jack Smith's appendices to his filing that TFG fought but failed to prevent. Despite the corporate media's best efforts to prolong the horse race and their refusal to just report the facts and tell the truth, a few moments that could clarify actual truths were able to penetrate the barrage of right wing propaganda. The probing questions were asked by concerned citizens, not from [...]
Our move to a new home is almost complete, and things at the show should be back to our usual state of quasi-controlled chaos. Though I had the new studio somehow run smoothly for the Christopher Steele interview on Wednesday, the gremlins decided to make an appearance during today's taping with Marcy Wheeler. So... it starts out ok, albeit with awful lighting on my end. But when I couldn't leave well enough alone and tried to adjust the lighting about 10 minutes in, the video software decided to mess with me... so we regrouped and did the rest [...]
It's Emptywheel Fridays. I'm in moving hell, so just listen and let the episode speak for itself! https://youtu.be/kpA6Nb2qyDg
I've been off the air all week due to the housing hell we're in. Long story short -- the place we had lined up to move into on Monday was yanked out from under us Saturday evening for no reason (I'll share all when this is over), so we've been frantically looking all week. We have to be out of here next week, and I've been dealing with panic attacks due to the stress. So I am all the more grateful that today is Friday, and I get to find out what happened this week [...]
One more piece of business before the weekend officially begins... our weekly get-together with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net during which we discuss much of what happened during the week. As usual, there was no shortage of insanity to talk about. Please support Marcy's work at emptywheel.net and mine at nicolesandler.com/donate-2. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV4EZPNKnUA
Every Friday I get to hang out with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net, discussing much of what happened during the week. Of course, this was the week we saw the brilliance of VP Kamala Harris as she destroyed TFG in what just might be their only debate of this race. But it gave us "they're eating the dogs" and other priceless gems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHNbpvdNcHk
It's Friday! Although this was a short week, there was no shortage of news to discuss with Marcy Wheeler today... The fall season of the Trump Trials has begun. Trump was in court this morning to appeal the verdict in the first E. Jean Carroll case. Yesterday Judge Chutkan issued her scheduling order for the next developments in Trump's Jan 6 trial. And unfortunately, while we were recording (we tape on Friday mornings due to the fact that Marcy is in Ireland and I'm in Arizona), the news broke that Judge Merchan will delay the sentencing in the [...]
We wrap up each week with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and a review of all that happened that week. Today it's Jack Smith's superseding indictment (predicted by Marcy last week), plus the big boring CNN interview, the Arlington Cemetery photo op debacle, RFk Jr & Tusli Gabbard and lots more... https://youtu.be/oYaCvGe30Hw
