Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-11-25

Every Friday, I join with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to recap much of what happened during the week. As has been the case every week since the inauguration, this week was a doozy. But as Marcy says, “gravity hit this week, in a big way.” Trump had his “liberation day” tariff announcement, causing the stock market to crash. Then he “paused” it (but not really), causing the market to spike before it crashed again. The DumpsterCoaster is one nauseating ride. Things may be coming to a head in this administration’s clash with the judiciary branch. The Supreme Court unanimously said yesterday that they must [...]

Yippy Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-10-25

In case you weren't paying attention, after Dump 'paused the tariffs', the market went on a bit of buying spree yesterday. It seems obvious to me and many others that market manipulation and insider trading were a big part [...]

DumpsterCoaster Ride with Driftglass – Nicole Sandler Show 4-9-25

   If you're feeling nauseous right now, that's to be expected and you're not alone. Today, exactly one week after proclaiming it "liberation day" and a week of saying he wouldn't back down, the orange one pulled a 180 and said "never mind," pausing the "reciprocal tariffs" for 90 days, except for China and 10% for everyone else. Huh? If you're confused, you're also not alone. But as I said on Monday after noting that RUMORS of him 'pausing' the tariffs caused the stock market to rebound temporarily, letting us know that there is a way to reverse the [...]
