David Dayen on Day 1 and Beyond on the Nicole Sandler Show 1-21-25

      Although I truly despise the subject of today's show, I'm thrilled that David Dayen is returning to walk us through it. Dayen is one of the OG bloggers/journalists whose work I've appreciated since the beginning. For the past few years he's been the executive editor of THE AMERICAN PROSPECT, a magazine that should be on your daily reading list. They're online at prospect.org and, like this program, is not behind a paywall - though they also depend on your support and generosity to allow them to keep reporting the truth. Today, the Prospect staff published "Executive Action [...]

Lisa Graves, Senate Confirmation Hearings & More – Nicole Sandler Show 1-15-25

    Lisa Graves is a frequent and one of my favorite guests on the Nicole Sandler Show. Though she appears here regularly in her personal capacity as opposed to speaking for her organization, she has impeccable legal credentials, including time spent as Chief Counsel for Sen Patrick Leahy on the US Senate Judiciary Committee. So she knows her way around senate confirmation hearings. Today's hearings included Pam Bondi, TCF's second choice for Attorney General (after his first, even worse pick Matt Gaetz, withdrew) and Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, among others. An actual ceasefire with a potential end [...]

Emptywheel Fridays are Back Weekly on the Nicole Sandler Show 1-10-25

    It's our first Emptywheel Friday of the new year, a year which promises to be anything but easy, productive or frankly good. Which makes it more important than ever that we keep speaking truth to power and expose the incoming administration for what they are. So Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I are back today, and every Friday going forward. Today, the Convicted Felon was sentenced by Judge Merchan in the NY Business Fraud case in which he was found guilty on all 34 counts. Unfortunately, due to the office he'll be assuming again in 10 days, the [...]

Back for Day 2 with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 1-7-25

    One of the best things about hosting this show five days a week is that I get to talk with some really wonderful guests. Heather "Digby" Parton is the OG progressive blogger, and continues at digbysblog.net and on Salon.com offering her brilliant take on the hand we've been dealt. As I've been looking forward to catching up with her, I've been reading about the intense Santa Ana winds that are fanning the flames of massive wild fires. I just checked my email to find that the winds have caused a power outage at Digby's home! Hopefully her power [...]

Living, Coping, Moving Forward with Kelly Carlin on the Nicole Sandler Show 12-11-24

I adore Kelly Carlin. She is an amazing woman who has lived a fascinating life filled with unique challenges and experiences and uses it all to help others on our journeys. Yes. She is the only child of the legendary comedian and voice of a generation, George Carlin. She's got a Masters in Jungian psychology, though she is not a therapist. Regardless, she has helped (and continues to help) lots of us who face our own unique sets of problems, challenges and experiences. Kelly has guested on this show a few times over the years. I called on her [...]

Lisa Graves on the Law, SCOTUS, nominations and more – Nicole Sandler Show 12-4-24

    If you're a regular listener of the show then you're familiar with today's guest, Lisa Graves. In addition to being one of my favorite people, she's also one of the most brilliant. She's currently Director of TrueNorthResearch.org. but appears on this show in her personal capacity offering facts and opinions based on her unimpeachable experience working in the DoJ under AGs Janet Reno and John Ashcroft, in the Senate Judiciary Committee as lead counsel for nominations and so much more. True North Research published a primer on what is now likely the playbook for the D'ump 2.0 [...]

WTF has been Going on with Me- Nicole Sandler Show 12-3-24

 I feel that I owe you more of an explanation. As you well know by now, I've been having a rough time for the past couple of months, but because I've been such a wreck, I haven't been able to give you the details about how and why I got to such a dark place. It's been a while since my husband David Sloane joined me on the show. But he will be here today. Yes, the election took and continues to take a toll on our collective psyche, but there's much more than that doing on right [...]

Lisa Graves on Justice or Not on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-21-24

  One of our favorite guests here on the Nicole Sandler Show is Lisa Graves. Not just because she's one of the better angels among us, but she's also wicked smart and has the CV to back up her beliefs. These days Lisa Graves works as a governmental watchdog of sorts in her role as Director of True North Research. But she usually appears on my show in her personal capacity as a private citizen with great expertise on all matters pertaining to our Justice system and Dept of Justice, the Senate nominations and confirmation proceedings, and how things [...]

A Day with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-19-24

She really needs no introduction- but in case you haven't been paying attention, Heather "Digby" Parton is one of the OG bloggers who took to this medium at its inception around the turn of the century... She launched her must-read Digby's Hullaballoo, still going strong- these days at digbysblog.net, and writes a regular column for Salon.com. Her words are some of the first I read each day and our conversations are some of my favorite over the many years I've been doing this show. Today is the first time we'll speak since our world turned upside down on Nov [...]

TFN Mondays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 10-28-24

You know what TFN stands for at this point, right? It's The Fucking News. It just doesn't stop. And it's the cause of the giant pit in my stomach right now that has had me feeling nauseated and unable to function most of the time these days. If you've been listening to this show for a while, you may remember the effect the 2016 election had on my mind, soul and being. When TFG was declared winner, that sickness permeated every inch of my body and psyche and wreaked havoc on me for four long years. I'm not a [...]
