(There are still 8 cases to opine on. The next announcements will come Friday.) Last week we got the good news that, for the third time, the Supreme Court did not overturn the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).

11-11-20 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s Veterans Day and Wendell Potter is Here to Talk Healthcare

Download here or click below to play     Today is November 11 - Veterans Day! I found some old papers of my dad's from his time in the Army that I'll share as we begin today's show.

7-10-19 Nicole Sandler Show -Stacked Courts, Endless Wars in Trump’s America

   It's a busy Wednesday with lots of news to deal with. First, a hearing yesterday in the 5th circuit court of appeals on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act seemed to go in Trump's direction. Ian Millhiser of Think Progress and author of "Injustices" about the Supreme Court, was there and fills us in on what happened. Plus, we'll ask about today's judgement throwing out an emoluments suit for lack of standing. Then, do you know where the candidates stand on foreign policy? Win Without War Executive Director Stephen Miles weighs on on Iran, Yemen, North Korea [...]

10-12-17 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursday with Howie Klein

After an update on the day's news which included Trump's signing an Executive Order designed to sabotage the Affordable Care Act, we welcomed Howie Klein back to the show. It's DCCC week, a program that the DCCC uses to help mostly Blue Dogs and New Dems. And we also discussed Steve Bannon's seemingly crazy idea to primary all Senate Republicans who are up for reelection in 2018, with the exception of Ted Cruz.
