Alex Lawson with What You Need to Know About Social Security 1-8-25

      One of President Biden's final acts as president was signing the Social Security Fairness Act into law this week. If you are a public sector employee, this might affect you in a good way. But what about Social Security as a whole? Although the former and future guy said on the campaign trail that he wouldn't cut Social Security and Medicare, that's not what we're hearing from the Republicans that will control Congress for the next two years. We need answers. So, today, Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works will join me for the first [...]

About Last Night’s VP Debate on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-2-24

 Last night we saw the first and only Vice Presidential debate of the season, and probably the last one for either VP or POTUS this time around. I'll share some clips and take your calls if you have a burning question or comment... I promised I'd post these two pictures side by side. The one on the left is JD Vance's official Senate portrait. The one on the right is his gaslighting version of it. I guess this is what he wants people to think he looks like. In his dreams... (Thom Hartmann was scheduled on today's show, [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 9-27-24

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 [...]

It’s Emptywheel Friday on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-5-24

   We couldn't end the week and usher in the weekend properly without a visit from Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. As she does each Friday, Marcy will walk us through the latest developments in Trump Trial World, including the batshit whack-a-doodle-ness of Judge Aileen Cannon who is doing TFG's bidding so much to his liking that he publicly promised her a Supreme Court nod if he's somehow re-elected. As someone suggested last week, the subtitle of this show is "You can't make this shit up!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npEM065Ckak

  View on Zencastr   How do you make Fridays better than they already are? By listening to and learning from Marcy Wheeler.

But whether she's in Michigan or Ireland, Marcy has her fingers on the news and what's happening on this side of the pond.

8-8-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Trump Trial Talk with Marcy ‘Emptywheel’ Wheeler

  View on Zencastr   Today in Atlanta, GA, the roads surrounding the Fulton County Courthouse were closed in anticipation of the next indictment coming for the former guy. That'll be #4. And that's on top of his already being found liable for rape and defamation of E. Jean Carroll. But the case is still ongoing, as his big mouth after the verdict got him hit with another defamation suit. Too bad for him, his counter-suit was just dismissed by the judge... Plus there's a trial date set for March in a NYC courtroom for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case [...]
