About That CR & the GOP Assault on the USA on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-13-25

    Howie Klein is usually with us on Thursdays but, as he's been writing about at DownWithTyranny.com, he's battling cancer and isn't able to be here today. He should be back with us next week. Today, the senate is debating the continuing resolution passed by the Republicans in the House, even though most of them would never have voted for this if the orange man in the White House hadn't threatened them to do it. Because they'll need 60 votes to invoke cloture and avoid a filibuster, the Republicans will need help from seven Democrats to get that [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 1-24-25

      Well, it's Day 5. We made it through the first working week of the Dump 2.0 reign, though it hasn't been easy. And it feels like a long year already. Thankfully, Marcy Wheeler is here from emptywheel.net each Friday to chat with me about what happened and make sure we know what we need to know. We cover a lot of territory today, and get some warnings about what to expect in the near future. It's all hands on deck time. I keep saying that you need to find the reliable sources of actual news that you [...]

A Day with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-19-24

She really needs no introduction- but in case you haven't been paying attention, Heather "Digby" Parton is one of the OG bloggers who took to this medium at its inception around the turn of the century... She launched her must-read Digby's Hullaballoo, still going strong- these days at digbysblog.net, and writes a regular column for Salon.com. Her words are some of the first I read each day and our conversations are some of my favorite over the many years I've been doing this show. Today is the first time we'll speak since our world turned upside down on Nov [...]

TFN Mondays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-28-24

You know what TFN stands for at this point, right? It's The Fucking News. It just doesn't stop. And it's the cause of the giant pit in my stomach right now that has had me feeling nauseated and unable to function most of the time these days. If you've been listening to this show for a while, you may remember the effect the 2016 election had on my mind, soul and being. When TFG was declared winner, that sickness permeated every inch of my body and psyche and wreaked havoc on me for four long years. I'm not a [...]

Thom Hartmann & The American Dream (or Nightmare) on the Nicole Sandler Show 10-23-24

    The interminable election season of 2024 will end in less than two weeks and then all bets are off. The future is so uncertain that no one can tell you what will happen. If they do, they're lying, though that's nothing new for one of the major political parties vying for control. If you're not nervous about it, you're not paying attention. With so much at stake, we have a busy show today. Voting is underway in most states. Some of us have already completed and returned our ballots, while others are procrastinating. Although I can't understand how [...]

France & the UK Beat Fascism, We Can Too – Nicole Sandler Show – 7-10-24

 We saw huge election wins for liberals over the far right in France and the UK in the last week. We can and should do it here as well, but we have to pay attention to what they did in Europe and learn from their actions. Today, we'll reach across the pond to an old friend of the show. Dave Johnson moved to England last year, and joins us today to talk about being an ex-pat, life in England, our political conundrum and how they beat back fascism over there. And I explain how we win... truly, I [...]

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 [...]

We Must Stop the MAGAt March Toward A Fascist USA on the Nicole Sandler Show – 5-22-24

 I've been doing my best to have guests on this program who can explain the threats we are facing from fascism by way of Trump and his MAGAt sycophants. We've exposed "Project 2025" and urge you to learn as much as possible about what they are planning should they retake power. It really is urgent -- all hands on deck kind of urgent. Today we'll give you the knowledge you need to push back on the mis and disinformation, lies and propaganda they're pushing. There's a reason TFG said "I love the poorly educated!". They're easier to manipulate. [...]
