Emptywheel Fridays – the Change and Hope Edition on the Nicole Sandler Show – 7-26-24 (full show)

Another week that feels like a decade gone by since our last Friday get-together. There's no shortage of news to discuss today as Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I try to recount what all happened. Of course, it was this week that President Joe Biden stepped away from his re-election campaign and passed the torch to VP Kamala Harris. With that change came a renewed sense of hope. I witnessed that first-hand on a massive Zoom call last night, which will continue Sunday evening as Women for Harris all come together. For details visit answerthecall2024.com. And if you didn't [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 7-19-24

    I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. Thank Dog it's Friday so we can stick a fork in this week. But another one is coming right behind this one with plenty more shit to be stirred. At least have this hour each week to get together with Marcy Wheeler, independent journalist at emptywheel.net, to dissect the events of the week. To day this was a busy one is a huge understatement. It was a smorgasbord on insanity that included an attempted Trump assassination, Judge Aileen Cannon tossing the entire Stolen Documents case including the indictment, the Republican [...]

Emptywheel Fridays – The ‘Joe Biden’s Old’ Pearl Clutching Edition – Nicole Sandler Show 7-12-24

 It's Friday, time for our weekly get-together with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net for a discussion of the week's news and ongoing media malpractice. Today, we discuss President Biden's solo press conference last night at the end of the NATO 75th anniversary summit, and the mainstream media's apparent missive to hand the election over to the fascists unless we can stop the circular firing squad and doomsayers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXgNEQwRdI0

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 7-5-24

       Another week comes to a close so it's time for our weekly discussion with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net about what happened. It was this week that SCOTUS ended what's left of our democracy, basically giving Trump everything he asked for and more in terms of "absolute immunity," Oh, and in case you hadn't heard, Joe Biden is old.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvqIHagvCeY

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 6-7-24

   The amazing Marcy Wheeler, who keeps us informed about the news we need to know at emptywheel.net, joins us every Friday to talk about what happened that week. As she does today. I must apologize to Marcy and everyone watching this. I started a new medication last night to deal with my RLS, and it completely knocked me out. I awoke in a fog this morning, somehow walked and fed Jaxson and made it in to the studio to record with Marcy. When we finished taping, I went back to sleep for a bit, but am still as [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 5-24-24

     We made it through another eventful week in the most insane decade of my life, and I'm old. We celebrate Fridays because the weekend is here, but not before we recap some of the news made during the week that's ending. It seems that each week these days is more outlandish than the one before, and this one is no different. Among the news and stories that Emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler and I discussed today are the complete mess that is the Supreme Court. ProPublica this week confirmed and shared photographic proof that Justice Samuel Alito flew a [...]
