Emptywheel Friday And a Massive Oval Office Ambush & Meltdown on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-28-25

       Today is Friday, when we get together with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to recap much of what happened in the week leading up to our conversation. We record these shows on Friday mornings here in Arizona/Friday afternoons for Marcy in Ireland. Today, while we were recording, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelinskyy arrived at the White House to meet with Trump, ostensibly to sign a deal for Ukraine to compensate the US for our help in defending them against Russia. I had the tape-delayed coverage running on a computer screen off to my right. When Marcy and I [...]

Emptywheel Fridays – Our Last One for 2024 – Nicole Sandler Show 12-20-24

Well, we made it to the end of the year. Or just about, anyway. Since I've been sick I've decided to do something I don't usually do which is take off and rest over the holidays. I've put together a great couple of weeks of shows to get us through January 3, and hope to return well-rested and ready to take on the challenges ahead. I did want to end with a final Emptywheel Friday episode and thankfully was able to record with Marcy Wheeler this morning. There's a lot we didn't get to (like the Matt Gaetz [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-22-24

  We're back! We did take a break last week because, well, I needed a break. But we're back. A bit of rest and mental diversions away from news and politics helped me a bit. Marcy Wheeler suggested taking some time out to go look at the ocean. Whatever form it takes, please carve out time for some self care. The next few years will not be easy. Let's all make sure we and our friends and families are ok. As for the news, it's important to stay informed-- and that means insuring that the sources your turn to are [...]

Emptywheel Fridays with 12 Days to Go on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-25-24

We are in the final stretch of the race to November 5 and the head off a disaster too frightening for most of us to contemplate. I know that my stress and anxiety levels are where they were eight years ago again... a feeling I had hoped I'd never again experience. Perhaps I can take small solace in knowing that I'm not alone. And one of the best pep talks about defeating despair comes directly from the one woman who can make pulling back from the brink of doom, VP Kamala Harris herself, with an assist from Maria [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-11-24

    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 [...]

Emptywheel Friday – DNC Recap Edition on the Nicole Sandler Show 8-23-24

    Well, that was a convention for the history books! I apologize for the lack of an Emptywheel Friday show last week. I got really sick from a UTI that spawned an e Coli infection, something you do not ever want. Thankfully I was doing well enough this week to be able to share some highlights of the 2024 Democratic National Convention for the past few days, and today, was joined by Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel.net) for a complete postscript to the most entertaining and inspiring political convention I've ever watched. Strap in... we're not going back! https://youtu.be/-w4caIQryzM [...]
