Actual News & Tim Karr of Free Press

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/28

It's been a while since I've spoken with Timothy Karr, Senior Director of Strategy & Communications at FreePress.net. We've spoken many times going back at least a decade about the challenges we've faced regarding the media, from broadcast to the internet. Looking back, they were all important issues, but I think they pale in comparison to the terror that the D'ump regime is wreaking on our media - from fake news (that emanates FROM HIM and his acolytes) to gutting all aspects of the formerly public

Fighting Back Against Fundraising Spam & Scams with...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/27

I often rail against the evils of Dump, the MAGAts and Republican politics in general on this show. And I also criticize Democratic strategies, policies and actions or inactions as I feel necessary. Today is necessarily one of those days.It's regarding the constant barrage of fundraising emails and texts and the fact that, in many cases, they’re scammy spam. Sadly, I'm not hearing much about some information that's recently come to light. We'll try to shine a brighter light on that on today's show

What Digby Sez with Heather 'Digby' Parton

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/26

When Digby first began blogging in 2002, the very early days of the blogosphere, most readers had no idea she was a woman! When she went public a few years later after being presented with the Paul Wellstone Award, (according to a 2008 LA Times article), many were shocked. They shouldn't have been. I say that as a woman who knows, to quote Harry Belafonte (who I know didn’t write it), ‘Man Smart, Woman Smarter"‘!We now know her as much as Heather Parton as we do as Digby. Heather is still writing at

What a day this has already been, and I'm not even talking about the news! I'll explain, but the short version is I got sick today.

FOIA MAN Jason Leopold Returns and There's a 'Whites...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/20

While we, mere mortals, try to discern fact from fiction when trying to get a handle on what is truly happening in the world, investigative reporter Jason Leopold has mastered the ins and outs of the of the few tools available to US citizens to dig through the drek to get at the truth. FOIA Man, as I call him, returns to the show today. Then I checked in with a town in Arkansas that's in the news today for a disturbing reason... Get full access to The Nicole Sandler Show at

Is It Law If No One Will Enforce It? with Chris Geidner

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/19

It's my never-ending question during the Dump Days of America... Delulu Don keeps signing Executive Orders that are expressly unconstitutional, but he doesn't care. In many cases he's breaking the law, but is he if there's no one to enforce the laws he's breaking?Chris also just returned from a vacation. He was in the UK and wrote about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and seeing Rosie O'Donnell perform there. I have so many questions for him about Europeans' thoughts about the US in the Dump era and

A Lesson on Accelerationism & More from Dr. Art Jipson

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/14

It's that time of year again. The kids are going back to school! So today, we'll chat with Professor Art Jipson, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Dayton.This week marked the 8th anniversary of the Unite the Right Nazi rally in Charlottesville, so I thought this was a good time for a primer into these hate groups and "accelerationism."Accelerationism also happens to be the topic of an article Art wrote for The Conversation recently, “A Field Guide to ‘Accelerationism’: White

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

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/12

Just a couple of hours before I hit the air today at 3ET, the Washington Post sent a breaking news alert with the headline, "Texas Republicans dare Democrats to stay out of state another month." (gift link)They further explain, "The lawmakers put new pressure on absent Democrats to return to the state, testing whether they'll stay away another month to try to kill a plan to redraw congressional districts in favor of the GOP." In other words, the Republicans who rule the Texas state legislature,

Just Another F'ing News Monday with Jonathan Larsen

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/11

Demented Don hit the ground running this morning with a soft launch of Martial Law. That's really what it is. He announced that "today is Liberation Day" in DC. Wait a minute. Didn't we just have "liberation day" on April 2, and wasn't that about tariffs? It's all so confusing. I guess every day is Liberation Day in the Dumpster fire that is his brain. It would be really funny if it weren't so dangerous.Today is Monday, so we check in with our pal Jonathan Larsen who writes all about the shit that

Just Asking the Important Questions with Brian Karem

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/07

Bringing you the honest, real news - the truth- is what I strive for each day. In order to do it effectively, I believe we need to inject a bit of humor, irreverence and snark lest we lose our minds (or I do mine, anyway).That's why I often invite journalist, author, filmmaker, podcaster Brian Karem on the show. You can read him on his Reporter’s Notebook Substack and at Salon.com, hear him on his Just Ask the Question podcast, read any of his seven books - the latest being Free the Press and find

Mueller She Wrote's Allison Gill

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/06

It's about time! I've been a fan of Allison Gill's work for years but have never had the pleasure of meeting her. I've cited her reporting regularly, as she has been on top of the news since she launched the Mueller, She Wrote podcast back in 2017. Allison is incredibly busy, currently hosting three podcasts, plus interviews & writing articles on her substack at muellershewrote.com, and running MSW Media, Inc. while breaking news regularly. Most recently, Allison broke the story of Ghislaine

Party Down with Mike Lux

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2025/08/05

There was a time when, upon hearing the term "party down," I'd think it was time to get ready to have fun. Today, sadly, I think of the headlines telling me that despite the complete transformation of the Republican Party to a frightening cult led by an orange buffoon, the Democratic Party is still struggling to find its way to being what we need it to be and to do!For years I've struggled with the party. When I lived in California, I was registered NPA - no party affiliation- because I was still

2025/07/31

I'm back! I was on vacation for the past week and did my best to completely tune out from politics, the news and, most importantly, D'ump.
