Will Bunch Weighs In on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-17-25

    While the guy who obviously thinks of himself as America's "dear leader" demanded Iran's "Unconditional Surrender" and unilaterally (I guess) decided that "we" will not kill their supreme leader (though he boasts of knowing where he is), it's another Tuesday in America. DC is still grappling with the Big, Ugly Bill and the Republicans continue vacillating on Trump's immigration pronouncements... the chaos continues. And in New York City, ICE and other masked and unidentified thugs rough up and detain Brad Lander(gift link)  the NYC Comptroller who is also a Democratic candidate for Mayor! We'll deal with some of [...]

Emptywheel Friday (the 13th) – Nicole Sandler Show 6-13-25

      Every Friday, Emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler joins Nicole Sandler to recap much of went down since we spoke the Friday before. We usually start the show amazed at just how much had happened in a week, but today seems to be in a new category altogether. We knew at the start that we'd be running a bit longer than usual, and on Fridays we do tend to run over the one hour this show usually runs. Today, we were dealing with the inept and grossly incompetent Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's congressional testimony this week, Trump's unconstitutional deployment [...]

Gaslighting vs Truth, ICE begets Fire, David Dayen on LA Protests and More – Nicole Sandler Show 6-11-25

      The news keeps getting worse but, for the most part, the narrative is manufactured by Trump and his sycophantic cabinet. We ARE living in 'Opposite World' where the 'news' is reporting the lies Trump posts at his Truth (sic) Social propaganda platform. Journalists from corporate media who dare to attempt to speak up are punished (see Terry Moran, now formerly of ABC News). The gaslighting underscores our need for real, courageous, independent news sources and the call to support them. One of the best sources for unfettered journalism is The American Prospect, led by executive editor David [...]

Dysfunctional America on the Streets & in the Boardroom – Nicole Sandler Show 6-10-25

These are scary times in our country. The incompetent orange idiot occupying the White House is doing everything we were afraid he'd do if he took power again. In advance of his North Korea-style military salute to himself happening this Saturday on the streets of Washington DC, he's created a showdown with mostly peaceful protesters who've been exercising their constitutional rights in a small sliver of downtown Los Angeles. He's breaking norms and the constitution by using military force against the American public to create a spectacle, take the media's attention away from the [...]

Activism Matters with Weird Violet on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-29-25

< Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered a barn burner of a speech in Manchester, NH yesterday in which he spoke the truth about all we're facing right now, and made me hope he runs for president in 2028. He made a lot of great points, and I'll share some of them on today's show. But it was his call for mass protests and mobilization to get us to that point that I want to focus on. Last weekend at protest march at the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix I was impressed by one of the women who appeared to [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show — 4-18-25

       Each Friday, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I get together to recap much of the important news from the week just ending. It's a daunting task, but necessary at this strange and fucked-up time in history. Today, we covered Trump's attempts to mess with immigration, his continued actions in shutting down the government, shutting down the global economy and the end of his BS attempt to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine. We talked about yesterday's ruling from Judge Harvie Wilkinson dealing with the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador and the administration's disregard [...]

Another Fucking Monday, More Fucking News on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-7-25

     Like death and taxes, Mondays always arrive. For the past couple of months, the start of each new week has brought with it a plethora of really bad news. Today is no exception... except there's some very encouraging news along with the usual Trump/shit sandwich. Where? Well, just look back to Saturday and the reported 5 million people plus who took to the streets across the country to protest the idiocy destroying our nation from inside. As we do on most Mondays, we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com for a spirited discussion about what's happening. [...]

Thursday with Howie Klein & A Senate Filibuster Too -Nicole Sandler Show 2-6-25

    Well, now the senate Democrats are getting the hang of it! Instead of just granting unanimous consent to end debate allowing the Republicans to to ram through D'ump's horrendous cabinet nominees, it seems that they're finally getting in the fight. The debate began yesterday morning at 10:30am ET. They went all night long and are still going strong. The rules allow up to 30 hours of debate, so the Dems are apparently going to use every one of those hours to slow down the process. As they should! The Judiciary branch - you know, one of the three [...]

Fighting For Our Future in the Streets & with Catherine Coleman Flowers -Nicole Sandler Show 2-5-25

  There's a lot going on today. We do have a guest in the second half hour of the show. Catherine Coleman Flowers is one of the leading environmental activists of our time. Her new book, HOLY GROUND: ON ACTIVISM, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND FINDING HOPE, is just released. And the timing couldn't be better because we can certainly use some hope right about now. I almost canceled today's show as I debated going to the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix to participate in today's 50501 "Build the Resistance" protests. I'll explain on the show why I opted not to go [...]
