There was no shortage of real news this week, almost none of it good! But the media is still set on telling us that Joe Biden is old. And you wonder why I call it Opposite World?!It’s another Emptywheel Friday, when we get together with the seemingly indefatigable Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to take a look back at what happened in this years-long week! From action in the courts, to the flying bribe palace and presidential corruption on a scale never seen before, we have a lot to talk about

I was out yesterday for a doctor's appointment, but I'm back today.. Sadly, there's no lack of news to discuss and questions to ask. From COVID vaccinations to the enormous, ugly bill, and the demented orange guy occupying the White House, the news is as dismal and offensive as ever.So, today, we'll review some of the more infuriating news of the day!

2025/05/16

It was another eventful week in this surreal world. The idiot-in-chief went to the Middle East, SCOTUS held a special hearing yesterday, and what was thought to be a very old copy of the Magna Carta housed at Harvard is discovered to be an authentic 7th original copy dating back to 1300! Marcy Wheeler thinks it's an auspicious sign, especially when the administration is talking about suspending habeas corpus. And, oh yeah, they're likely arresting a sitting member of Congress today. It's

Ethics,Hearings, Hypocrisy & Lisa Graves - Nicole...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/05/14

Ethics are important to Republicans ONLY when it's a Democrat engaging in questionable behaviors. That's more evident every day. But it cuts much deeper... they're quick to call out anything a Democrat does, like nodding off in an all-night hearing. But they have no problem with it's a Republican. It seemed like all we heard from them during the Biden administration was "the Biden 'crime family' is capitalizing on the president's office." But they're

A new week begins with news of a "$400 Million flying palace" that allegedly will be gifted by the Qatari Royal Family to Donald F'ing Trump!?! WTF?Oh there's more news too. Like the idea of suspending habeas corpus? Huh?I accidentally stumbled onto Newsmax over the weekend and was hit with El Dumpo on the tube trying to sell me a Trump Watch? Seriously?

It's Friday, so we made it to the end of another action-packed week. Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I review some of the crap that Dump and his gang flung at us this week and try to make sense of it all.This week we got a new pope - one from the United States for the first time ever- and it seems he's "woke" and MAGAt heads are exploding. The tariff fiasco is ramping up in full swing, as some people are finally beginning to realize what this will mean for our economy, and Dump

It's Thursday, so we'll talk politics with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com and the Blue America Pac today... Lots of action, perhaps, in Congress where we can't help but hope the Republican caucus starts coming apart to derail some of this insanity that the orange one is unleashing on the world.Dump did announce a trade deal this morning with the UK. But is it a deal if it's not a deal? Only Congress can authorize a trade deal. But then again, only Congress can authorize tariffs
