The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/07

Every Friday, we wrap up the week's news with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. And this was certainly a momentous week! Just this morning, Marcy posted a blueprint for much of today's discussion in a post titled "May This Week Be a Pivot".

Lisa Graves on a Skeptical SCOTUS & More!

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/06

It's Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025. I was dreading yesterday's Supreme Extreme Court hearing regarding the felon's illegal and unconstitutional tariffs because of how the court has demeaned itself by bending over backwards to appease the dick-tator over the past year. But to my layperson's ears, it sounded like they - or at least enough of them - have finally reached their limit.And it wasn't only me. The actual legal experts who I read seem to have heard what I did yesterday. But, of

Election Vindication, SCOTUS Optimism, & Driftglass'...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/05

Today is Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025. Yesterday was Election Day. It was about as close to a clean sweep as possible, with the people rebuking D'ump and taking back control. And hopefully, showing what's still to come.... That's not all we're talking about today. This morning, The Supreme Extreme Court heard arguments about the felon's illegal and unconstitutional tariff debacle that has cause prices we pay for just about everything to skyrocket.

The Last Days of Sanity - Going Back to Nov 4, 2016

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/04

This year, my birthday falls on election day, something that wouldn't necessarily warrant a day off. But when my daughter tells me she's coming to town to spend my birthday with me, that's another story. So I figured we'd go back in time to Nov 4, 2016. That year, election day fell on Nov 9, so this was just a few days out. I was truly mortified at the idea that Donald Trump could actually become president. But we still had a few days left of relative sanity.Those days I did a daily

It's Friday, October 31, 2025! Nicole Sandler here, finally here in my newly rebuilt studio in our new home. Hopefully we'll stay at this one for a while!Today is Halloween, but every day is frightening in this D'umpster fire of a nation these days... Thankfully, Marcy Wheeler is here to help us muddle through much of what transpired this week. I'm not much help today because I've been in moving hell. The good part of it was that I opted for more music, less of the old, addled,

2025/10/30

Today is the final day of my move, so we're up and running for good from the new home studio after today's special pre-Halloween episode, and this one is scary as Trump. David Daley literally wrote the book about gerrymandering. Now make that books, as he's written two more sequels since the original, Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count, was released in 2017.Now that Trumpkin has enlisted his army of dirty tricksters to figure out how to use the gerrymander to guarantee a few more

Ratf**king a la D’ump & Other Atrocities

2025/10/30

It's the day before Halloween. Since today's the day we have to be out of the old house and do a walk-through with the slumlord so we can get our security deposit back, I have to run another 'Best of' show. So I figured I'd pull out a truly frightening episode to run today.This episode originally aired on August 12 of this year. Here's what I wrote about this episode on that day:Just a couple of hours before I hit the air today at 3ET, the Washington Post sent a breaking news

2025/10/29

It's Wednesday, October 29, 2025. I've been in and out over the last few weeks because we moved, again. I'm exhausted and every inch of my body hurts. But I somehow managed to rebuild my studio in the new digs. Today, we take it out for a spin. Today I'm thrilled to welcome Jim Earl to the show for the very first time. You know I like to deliver the news with some snark and attitude, especially when the news is as fucked-up and evil as it's been for much too long. Jim's the

March 6, 2020 was a Friday. As I wrote in the description back then of that day's show, "We made it to the end of a horrible week that included a brutal Super Tuesday, the end of a number of campaigns, a stock market crash and the global explosion of the coronavirus. We have two great guests today: Jason Leopold of BuzzFeed News whose lawsuit might bring us the unredacted Mueller Report (read about it here), and OG blogger Heather “Digby” Parton (find her blog here, and at Salon here) to

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/10/27

Nicole is almost done moving, so will be back here full-time with all-new live shows. In the meantime, we're listening back to some past episodes that are still relevant today. In August, she read an article by Professor of Sociology Dr. Art Jipson about a frightening religious sect that's been working its way into all branches of our American life. Actually, seven. And instead of branches, they refer to them as Mountains. Government is just one of the seven. This White "Christian"

It's Nicole Sandler, back live in the studio today, 10/24/25. I've been in and out as I've been moving, but I don't miss an Emptywheel Friday show unless it's completely unavoidable! After today's show, I'll break down my studio and move it to the new house where it'll take a few days to rebuild it. So I'll have a couple of Best of shows to start next week, and then I'll be back from the new digs.Although it feels less certain we'll actually reach the end

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/10/09

I’m back today. I’m sorry there was no show yesterday, but I was at the Emergency Room until about 2AM yesterday morning. When I awoke in the morning, I wasn’t feeling well and was exhausted. So, I decided to take care of myself and rest. But I'm back today, I got started with a rant about how frightening things are in this country right now. Lisa Graves was here last week to talk about the law, the extreme court and her new book, Without Precedent. Of course, so much happened this week that I felt

Seven Days in Shutdown, Two Years (and 260 Days) in...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/10/07

We are one week into this government shutdown and it doesn’t appear to be opening back up any time soon. Today is the 260th awful day since Trump took office again, meaning there are still 1200 days until this term ends. And today also marks two years since Hamas’ deadly, horrific attacks on Israel, provoking a deadly, horrific war that’s still raging in Gaza.I dealt with all of that on today’s show… starting with David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect, and the shutdown.

It feels like deja vu all over again. It is weird that the weeks go by so slowly, yet it seems as if Mondays come too quickly. It must be a sign o’ the times...We begin each week with a discussion about some of what’s going on with Jonathan Larsen, who writes about the news with the snark and expletives it deserves at thefuckingnews.substack.com. He also does quite a bit of original reporting without the expletives. You find those stories at jonathanlarsen.substack.com. Get full access to The Nicole

If you’ve been listening to or watching this show for a while, you’ve definitely heard my friend, the brilliant Lisa Graves, on this show, as she’s been on dozens of times over the years. Aside from the fact that she’s an extraordinary person, her history and work experience makes her my favorite authority on all things concerning the Judiciary.Lisa's here today to share some of what's in her brand new book (just released this week) WITHOUT PRECEDENT: HOW CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS AND HIS ACCOMPLICES

The Madness of King Don with Heather "Digby" Parton

One of the few things I like more than reading Digby is talking with her. I try not to impose on her generosity too much, so she joins me on the show about once a month or so.

There was a Shutdown Showdown in the Oval Office yesterday but, like everything D’ump does, this was a ruse. The deadline is tonight at midnight...This morning, the cabinet member formerly known as Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, made it clear to the 800 highest-ranking US military officials from around the world he hastily called home for an unprecedented meeting, that he means war. And he means WAR!!! And Trump spoke too... for 74 interminable minutes... I'm joined by Coltan Scrivner, author

Another Monday & The F'ng News with Jonathan Larsen

Last week turned out to be one of the worst in the eight months since a phalanx of incompetents took over the US government and has been working to disassemble the work-in-progress of the last 249 years. This week portends more of the absurd and the frightening, from a likely government shutdown, a strange meeting with 800 or so of our highest ranking military officers called back from all over the world and who knows what else...
