Another Monday with Jonathan Larsen & the F’n News – Nicole Sandler Show 7-14-25

        Like death and taxes, Mondays are inevitable. And despite our most fervent wishes to the contrary, the news doesn't stop. These days, the news is pretty much always bad. If that’s the case, I prefer to take my news with a healthy dose of snark and some well-placed profanity. So we begin the week here on The Nicole Sandler Show with Jonathan Larsen, the man behind thefuckingnews.substack.com. I'm particularly enjoying watching the MAGAts eating their own over the Epstein files coverup and lies. But there's more that appears to be the impetus for right wing implosion, like tariffs, weapons, war [...]

Emptywheel Friday on the Nicole Sandler Show 7-11-25

  I’ll keep the written part short and sweet today, as yesterday’s was long and overloaded with information and links. And today’s show runs a bit longer than usual. Today, really, the only link you need is emptywheel.net. That’s Marcy Wheeler’s info-packed site where she wrote about pretty much everything we discussed today on the show. Marcy took last week off - as did we. It was the 4th of July here, but Marcy lives in Ireland these days. She did write a piece about what she did with her week off that you can read here. Thankfully, she’s back today. We always [...]

Another F’n News Monday with Jonathan Larsen of The F’n News – Nicole Sandler Show 7-7-25

    When Jonathan Larsen first launched his newsletter and called it The Fucking News, I thought it was quite clever. Now I know it was perfect and prescient. Jonathan joins me on the show each Monday to help us get a handle on what's happening in the news and set the stage for the week. It reminds of of the limbo dance. It's really a game that asks, "How low can you go?" The aim is to pass forward under a bar, which keeps getting set lower and lower, without falling or dislodging the bar. Unfortunately, in this Trumpian world, [...]

CBS Caves, Immigrants Continue to Fight Back with Gaby Pacheco – Nicole Sandler Show 7-2-25

  Knowing that I can't possibly cover everything that goes on each day in this hour we have together, today we'll focus on two... First, I must apologize. I’m a one-woman show here. I don’t have a producer, engineer, webmaster or anyone else helping me out. I multitask, with the best of intentions. But more often than I’d like to admit, things don’t go as smoothly as I’d planned. If you want the video version of the show, you’ll see what I mean. During the segment where I attempted to show you the videos to illustrate what I’m about to [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-27-26

    It was a week that, once again, felt like a year... or more! There was a war. More accurately, the moron in the White House inserted us into a war between Israel and Iran. The Supreme/Extreme Court finished it's term by handing down the final opinions in the regular term, though a handful of shadow docket cases will be handed down next week). It was an ugly day for the future of our democracy. The Big Ugly Bill is racing toward the MAGAts self-imposed 4th of July deadline. And a whole lot more happened, much of which Marcy [...]

Brian Karem Rides with us on the TrumperCoaster of War – Nicole Sandler Show 6-24-25

It's another TrumperCoaster ride so get your barf bags ready. We've ridden many TrumperCoasters over the last 10 years, but this one might be the most nauseating. He's the "peace president" who drops bombs. He threatens, cajoles and lies at every turn. He's delusional I can't explain it. Perhaps Brian Karem can... He does a pretty good job of it at Salon.com, on his Just Ask the Question podcast, on his substack and social media and, occasionally, on this show. Hopefully he can help us a bit on today's show... https://youtu.be/eh0gEBeRzh0

Truly F’d Up News on This F’n News Monday- Nicole Sandler Show 6-23-25

      For some reason it seems like President D'ump likes those Friday night news dumps. So of course, after throwing out his standard delay brain crutch of "2 weeks," the man who can't think for himself launched an attack on three "nuclear sites" inside of Iran, breaking a big campaign promise to keep us out of Middle East wars, inserted us right in the middle of one. Shortly before showtime we learned that Iran retaliated. However, AP reported that "this missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United [...]

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-20-25

  We survived another week, though this one had quite a few precarious moments, much of which went unreported by the mainstream, corporate media and certainly ignored by the right-wing media which most of MAGAt-world erroneously considers news and trusts to (dis) inform them. It's a big reason why I do this show and why these Friday episodes with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net are so important. And although we usually run over our allotted hour (like today), there's still a lot of real news that we don't have time to cover. Since our last get-together last Friday, so much has happened. [...]

Juneteenth Thursday with Howie Klein – Nicole Sandler Show 6-19-25

      Happy Juneteenth! It's our newest federal holiday, recognized as such in 2021 after President Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Even D'ump proposed making Juneteenth a national holiday during his first re-election bid. But he's done an about face since somehow getting back into office in January, with a vendetta against "DEI" and, by his attitude and actions, reaffirming his followers' rights to let their racists flags fly. He's bringing back Jim Crow which did NOT recognize Juneteenth. Today is also the first day of summer and things are literally heating up... On [...]

WTF Wednesday on the Nicole Sandler Show 6-18-25

  This is one of those days in the middle of one of those weeks during one of those months in the inconceivable, unbelievable second term of an imbecile. There's an avalanche of news, precious little of it good. We don't have a guest today, so our pal Spocko joined in to talk about much of the day's news. We cover a lot of ground, share a lot of video - especially from a contentious hearing today in the Senate Armed Services Committee where the completely in-over-his-head Defense Sec (sic) Whiskey Pete Hegseth and the also unqualified and wrong person [...]
