Hard Truth Time with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-16-25

     Everything is FUBAR, and I'm not exaggerating. I constantly reiterate that it's almost impossible to keep up with all the shit that's hitting the fan. I should modify that to say that I personally cannot keep up with it all. But my friend Heather Parton, better known as Digby, does a great job of it with the help of Tom Sullivan, Spocko and Dennis Hartley at her wonderful Hullabaloo blog at DigbysBlog.net. We're midway through what is shaping up to be one of the worst weeks in an awful few months since this administration has been in [...]

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

   I'm not quite sure what "yippy" means, but the guy with the best words used it to explain (in Dump's case, that means 'lie') why he reversed himself on his tariffs yesterday. People were getting yippy? Maybe it means that they were pissed off that their portfolios and retirement accounts were hemorrhaging money? I wonder how they're feeling today... 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 [...]

Look What They’re Doing To Our Planet w/ The Environmental Coffeehouse on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-8-25

 The Dump administration is haphazardly attacking all aspects of our federal government, including agencies that are tasked with protecting not only the US' population, but the world's. We've been talking a lot about our social safety net -- attacks on Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, attacks on due process and civil rights, and equality for all people. They're also taking aim at all the rules put in place over the decades to help protect us from unscrupulous business practices that put our health - and the health of the planet - at risk. Today, in addition to the shitstorm [...]

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. [...]

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

     We wrap up each week on the Friday show with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. This week was a rollercoaster with Cory Booker stepping up to offer motivation and passion and, dare I say, hope. I don't think we've reached the bottom of the rollercoaster yet, as we're watching the Dow in free fall for the second day in a row, and the inflation that's sure to kick in from Trump's new tariffs haven't hit us yet... Strap in, it's a bumpy ride! https://youtu.be/S-d2V_a1LUo

Tariffs & Taxes by Trump, Bunch on Booker & More! Nicole Sandler Show 4-3-25

     I told you yesterday that Trump held his announcement of his "Liberation Day" Tariff plan to crash the world's economies until 4pm because he didn't want us to see the stock market crashing in real time as he unveiled his nefarious plans. Today, he's off again to Florida for a golf tournament at one of his clubs, while most of the rest of the nation is watching their 401k values plummet. (So now, in 72 days, the orange one has taken off 15 days and spent more than $26 million of taxpayer money at his gold clubs, [...]

Wisconsin Win, Floriduh, Cory Booker & Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-2-25

 Senator Cory Booker stood up yesterday - actually, the day before - an made history. Not only did he break former senator and lifelong racist Strom Thurmond's record for the longest senate speech in history, he also used it to denounce Thurmond's racism and the shameful chapter in American history he tried to prolong. Booker's speech and feats of strength also seems to have breathed new life into dejected Democrats, as he implored each of us to do what we can to save our nation from the ravages of Dump and his army of magats. When Senator Booker [...]

Economy Crashing Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-6-25

     Watching the Dow crash for the third day in a row since the megalomaniac in chief unilaterally put 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, the orange one tried to change course again. First he suspended tariffs on cars from both nations. Then he paused the tariffs on Mexico for a month. As the market kept hemorrhaging, the then paused the tariffs on Canada for a month too. The Dow regained about 100 points of today's loss, but still closed down 428 points for the day, adding to the more than 1200 point drop sustained over [...]
