As the saying goes, the best laid plans... Lisa Graves, the unofficial legal expert of the Nicole Sandler Show, was supposed to be here today to help us get through the senate confirmation hearings for the would-be cabinet members in this new so-called administration. Unfortunately, Lisa was in a meeting that never ended. Good thing (I think) there was a lot going on today, including Robert Kennedy Jr's confirmation hearing in the Senate Finance Committee. We'll get Lisa back on soon... in the

2025/01/28

I'm thrilled and honored that Heather Cox Richardson is returning to the show today. We spoke once before, the week that her latest book, DEMOCRACY AWAKENING, was released. She's back today because she's one of the voices I hope everyone will hear, and I'm persistent! Her nightly "Letters from an American"- which inform and comfort me - sits atop the most-read list at Substack. Her Facebook live talks are like hearing from an old friend who always knows the right things to

Well, it's Day 5. We made it through the first working week of the Dump 2.0 reign, though it hasn't been easy. And it feels like a long year already.Thankfully, Marcy Wheeler is here from emptywheel.net each Friday to chat with me about what happened and make sure we know what we need to know. We cover a lot of territory today, and get some warnings about what to expect in the near future. It's all hands on deck time. I keep saying that you need to find the reliable sources of actual news that

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

Yes, I know what's happening today. Frankly, the less said about the inauguration, the better. So today, we'll hear President Biden's farewell address which I never got to last week. Maybe. We may hear some words of wisdom and warnings from Timothy Snyder ("On Tyranny"). Then we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com. His Saturday post detailed the accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration -- a good reference to hold on to as we move

Every Friday I'm joined by Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to discuss what happened in the week that's ending. This was a pretty eventful week, with Jack Smith's Jan 6 report released, the start of the Senate confirmation hearings for the convicted felon's cabinet picks, the fires in LA and a lot more.We recorded this episode on Thursday due to some medical issues and doctors appointments I have, but there was certainly no shortage of news and things we need Marcy's insight on.

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

The good news is that they're evacuating and getting to safety, and we'll be able to reschedule Jason for when he's safe and sound, hopefully back home.It just so happens that there's a lot of news to cover today, so it'll just be us and a bunch of audio and video...

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 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

Today is a National Day of Mourning. Sadly, that works on so many levels. Today President Jimmy Carter's official funeral was held. The last truly decent man to be president is gone. Perhaps some of his goodness will now enter the souls of those who have or seek power. But I'm not holding my breath. The mourning is not only for Jimmy Carter - it's for our democracy, the future of the nation (and the world), and my former home of Los Angeles where so many friends and former neighbors have lost

One of President Biden's final acts as president was signing the Social Security Fairness Act into law this week. If you are a public sector employee, this might affect you in a good way. But what about Social Security as a whole? Although the former and future guy said on the campaign trail that he wouldn't cut Social Security and Medicare, that's not what we're hearing from the Republicans that will control Congress for the next two years. We need answers. So, today, Alex Lawson, Executive

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

Welcome to our first show of 2025. I'm rested and a bit refreshed after taking off a couple of weeks for the holidays. I'd say I'm happy to be back, but the fact is that today is January 6, four years since the guy whose election was just certified fomented an insurrection at the Capitol because he lost that election! To add insult to injury, the orange menace had the gall to rant today that President Biden was making the transition "as difficult as possible." We all know that's bullshit. Remember

Well, we made it to the end of the year. Or just about, anyway.Since I've been sick I've decided to do something I don't usually do which is take off and rest over the holidays. I've put together a great couple of weeks of shows to get us through January 3, and hope to return well-rested and ready to take on the challenges ahead. I did want to end with a final Emptywheel Friday episode and thankfully was able to record with Marcy Wheeler this morning. There's a lot we didn't get to (like the Matt

We last got together for a live show one week ago today. When Kelly Carlin was on with me, my voice started getting really gravelly and I felt progressively worse as the hour wore on. By Wednesday night I felt like crap and by Thursday night, my breathing was so labored that I feared it was pneumonia, so I went to the ER. (I'm now on Medicare with the Plan G supplemental insurance so won't have an obscene co-pay to deal with this time!). Numerous tests and chest x-rays later I was diagnosed with

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
