The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/12/05

It's been 10 days since our last gathering with Marcy Wheeler as we did last Friday's show on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. And it's been quite an eventful 10 days at that! On today's show. we cover much of what happened during that time-- from yesterday's arrest of the alleged Jan 6 pipe bomber to Pete Hegseth's many problems including Signalgate and the Murder Boats, Trump's sickening pardons, the prosecutions of James Comey, Maurene Comey, Letitia James and

2025/12/04

"America's Dirty Secret" is what today's guest, Catherine Coleman Flowers calls the problem she is devoted to fixing, and it's a problem that's not much-discussed unless you live in some of the poorest rural communities in the US where it's more prevalent that most of us realize. Catherine Coleman Flowers is an environmental and climate justice activist. She's been called the "Erin Brockovich of Sewage" because her work focuses on improving sanitation and

If you're not terrified by Trump, you're not paying attention. I'll share some of the latest as I share latest news and things that should terrify all of us. As for AI - Artificial Intelligence- I'll admit that I'm not an expert. So I have one joining us today. Rahul Powar is and AI expert and cybersecurity entrepreneur.

Real News Tuesday - There's a Lot of it!

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/12/02

Perhaps the headline should have read "Reel" News, because today's guest's website (under construction) is ReelPoliticalNews.com. With so much insanity coming at us from the White House, I wanted to get someone who is an actual journalist covering it all to help us catch up. Back in my Air America days and for a few years following that network's demise, I used to have a daily news update from the (now defunct) Talk Radio News Service. One of the correspondents there was

Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday for more than the obvious reasons. And now it's even more special. I'll explain with some not just good, but excellent news.

Tuesday with GottaLaff and a Gliberal Goddesses...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/25

The Nicole Sandler Show has been on the air/net in one form or another for a long, long time. For probably 10 of those years, I had a few regular guests. One of them is my old friend who's known to the social media world as @GottaLaff (or Laffy). She used to run a breaking news website called "The Political Carnival" and built a huge following on the old Twitter. We became fast friends and, as I said, appeared on my show weekly. Occasionally another semi-regular, Amy Simon, a cultural

Another F'ng News Monday, But With Gratitude

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/24

Each Monday we bemoan the start of yet another week, filled with the news of the orange pig in the White House. So each Monday I'm joined by Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com to discuss the news with his usual snark and the occasional f bombs too. Thursday of this week is Thanksgiving and I have more than a few things to be grateful for. It was 25 years ago today that my daughter Alison left the orphanage where she was living and came home with me. We call it our 'forever

2025/11/21

Another Friday has arrived and with it another weekly chat with independent journalist Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net on The Nicole Sandler Show.There was so much to talk about today so we went even further into overtime than usual. So, we discussed the latest on Russia/Ukraine, and the murderer from Saudi Arabia who came to DC to be treated like a hero by the orange one. Marcy explained some of the good news from this week which includes a federal court denying Texas' motion to stay the order

Dialog with Digby about Demented Don & more

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/20

As usual, the orange man continues rotting. This time he's suggesting that six Democratic House members are guilty of "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR - punishable BY DEATH". Yes, that was a direct quote from his early morning social media ramblings. Our friend, Heather 'Digby' Parton wrote about that this morning at digbysblog.net - her long-running blog "Digby's Hullabaloo" where she rose to fame as one of the OG pioneers of the progressive blogosphere. She's since added her

Perhaps It's Time for a General Strike!

2025/11/19

At the end of yesterday's show, I made the mistake of believing Mike the meeker Speaker Johnson who inferred that the Senate under John Thune would collude with him to delay passing the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Thune instead allowed it to pass by unanimous consent. But I was correct in my assumption that Dump's directive for Bondi to open a new investigation into Epstein and only Democrats (wtf?) would allow them an excuse for not releasing the files. Sure enough, Bondi basically

A Busy News Day with a Real Journalist- Brian Karem

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/18

I knew today was going to be a huge day filled with news, but it turned out to be bigger than I thought. So I invited a real journalist, Brian Karem, to join me on today's show. There was much to cover, as the day began early with a presser outside of the Capitol with Epstein survivors. The Orange Dumpkin welcomed his soul brother MBS to the Oval Office, which was more sickening than I imagined. The House 'debated' before voting on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed

Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net joins me every Friday to recap both the momentous and the newsworthy events of the week that you might not have heard enough about. Obviously this was a heavy-duty week. Unfortunately, I've been out of commission and certainly didn't pay as much attention as I usually do this week as I've been dealing with the death of my dog Jaxson, who was a member of my family. My baby boy.But Marcy brings us up to date not only on the Epstein emails that dropped on us

Epstein, FOIA & Jason Leopold

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/11/13

It's Nicole Sandler, back on this Thursday, Nov 13. I was out earlier this week because my dog Jaxson, my fur baby, got very sick Monday and we lost him. I could probably use a few more days off, but Jason Leopold was scheduled to join me, and he's a dear old friend, so I thought I could make it through... For the most part, I did. Jason is the government-anointed "FOIA Terrorist," and with all the news and Epstein emails that dropped yesterday, the timing to have Jason on

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

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
