Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/02/06

This was a very strange week. Yes, there were quite a few offensive, disgusting and illegal things done by Dump and his cronies this week, but that's par for this shitty course. However, as I told emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler at the start of today's show, somehow the ominous foreboding seemed more intense. I feel that pit in my stomach dancing like jumping beans. Even though we ran even longer than usual today, we still didn't get to everything, but we did cover a lot of

Drifting on Broken Glass Through the Debacle of Dump

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/02/05

Apologies for the headline, but Driftglass is such a talented writer, I thought I should take a shot at a clever headline. Sadly, what that orange pile of narcissism in the White House is doing to us and covering how he's destroying life in what's left of our country has depleted my energy. I somehow manage to make it through each day, taking it one day at a time. And I don't even drink! As you probably know by now, I seek out guests to join me on the air who also don't hold back

Democracy Killed in Daylight, and Brian Karem Too

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/02/04

It's fitting that journalist and author Brian Karem is my guest today. His latest book, Free the Press, is all about our dying media... and the morning's big news was about the gutting of what's left of the Washington Post by Jeff Bezos (who proves it wasn't about the money at all). And we had a whole lot more to talk about today too...Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dumpy Chaos for Cruelty's Sake with Cliff Schecter

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/02/03

Overwhelmed yet? That's their goal. And in that, they're succeeding, but we can't let them win - on any level! Today, it's sort of a potpourri of news and Dumpy Chaos for Chaos' sake. The orange guy in the White House is out of his mind. He shows up 38 THOUSAND times in the Epstein files, but says he's done talking about them. Sorry, he doesn't get to make that call. It's time to put our collective giant foot down. So today, I welcome Cliff Schecter back to the show

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/02/02

It's Monday, the day of the week that Jonathan Larsen, the man behind The Fucking News Substack joins me to help unpack the news which, these days, is horrific, terrifying and really fucked up. As glad as I am that January has finally ended, it's now February. Don't let that fact that it's only 28 days make you think it'll go by quicker. At this rate, it's on track to feel like a century.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out:

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/30

Each week seems to be more insane than the last. I think it's even more evident because Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net joins me each Friday to recap some of what made news in the preceding week. Just think about it... Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE this past Saturday. That's how this week started, on Saturday morning. And it kept on sliding downward since. The FBI raided the Fulton County, GA Elections office. Curiously, Tulsi Gabbard was there along with, as Marcy pointed out, Deputy FBI

Streets of Minneapolis & Jack Rice in the Middle of It

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/29

My old friend and Air America colleague Jack Rice is a jack of all trades. When we met, he was a radio host on Air America. Before that, he was a prosecutor, and a Special Agent for the CIA! Since then, he's returned to the law and is a practicing criminal defense attorney in the Twin Cities, so he's been in the thick of the horrors that Trump has set loose on Minneapolis. He was here just last week, but then they murdered Alex Pretti too, so I asked Jack to come back. We talked about all

ICE in Phoenix... Until The Last Gun is Silent

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/28

Historian Matt Delmont's new book, Until the Last Gun is Silent:A Story of Patriotism, The Vietnam War, and the Fight to Save America's Soul just hit stores yesterday. I've had him scheduled for a while now, but there's definitely some correlation between his book and the madness confronting us today, which we certainly discussed.I opened the show with Erica Connell, a familiar face to those who show up at Phone area protests. She was at one such gathering Sunday, at one of 15 Zips

Another busy day here on The Nicole Sandler Show... We catch up on some of the latest news including the TACO turnaround and more.

More F'ng News After an Awful Weekend Filled With It

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/26

On Friday, Marcy Wheeler and I went on about how overwhelming last week was. But it didn't prepare us for what would unfold the next morning. It just never stops.. ICE did it again, in Minnesota, with a lot of guns. Yep, Dump's armed, masked goons murdered another US citizen in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti was a 37 year-old, white, ICU nurse for the VA who was trying to help a woman who some of those goons had attacked and thrown to the ground. He was protecting another peaceful person and, for

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/23

It was another overwhelming week, so thankfully Marcy Wheeler takes her weekly break from emptywheel.net to join me here to stick a fork in it, especially as it lasted six thousand one hundred and eighty-four days! Marcy will explain near the beginning of today's show, that mostly centers on how the evil orange man is destroying everything that made this country great.

2026/01/22

I don't know why Trump-era Republicans do anything they do,but having Jack Smith, a highly respected prosecutor and the former special counsel who investigated and got multiple indictments against Donal Trump is now being investigated by Trump's Dept of Justice. His Attorney General is acting as D'ump's personal attorney carrying out his vindictive retributive orders to go after his perceived enemies.

Insanity Internationally Gets Heather 'Digby' Parton...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/21

That's one way to put it. Heather 'Digby' Parton has been a semi-regular guest on my show for many years. I always consider our conversations to be cathartic, but Digby was in rare form today. I think she's at least as fed up with the DC dumpster fire as I am, if not more! I was prepared to discuss many things with her, but it was his gaslighting/lying and narcissistic showings in his press conference yesterday marking one year in office (again) and his insane and demented posturing

Today marks the first anniversary of this immoral, destructive regime in the White House. We know that we can't continue like this. It's time for action and for change! We must engage as we've been, but we must do more. Call your Republican representatives in Congress DAILY and tell them how the Oval Office occupant is unfit for office and is destroying our nation. And get involved as the midterms are 10 months away.Today we'll meet two great candidates running for the Democratic

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/19

I struggled with whether I should do a show today, as it is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a federal and a state holiday (yes, here in Arizona too!). I decided I would, and then Jonathan Larsen, who's usually here on Mondays, told me he wasn't working today in honor of the holiday. So I went back and forth on it and decided, since I have to put together a show to air regardless, that I'd do a hybrid -- part live, and part pieces of shows from MLK Days past. And I'd end the show with

Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/16

Every Friday, we wrap up the week with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. She and I try to make sense of the insanity that is destroying our country. Given what's transpired this week, the madman seems bound and determined to take down not only the US, but the world. If we're trying to put a positive spin on it, I guess I could point out that he's unraveling, and Marcy tells us that the White House is in panic mode. Good! Now if we could only get some Republicans in Congress to admit that

Jesse Ventura Now & Then and Some Good Radio News on...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/01/15

My good radio news is that a new radio station hit the airwaves in Phoenix today and, once again, I get to play my kind of music on the air! I explain at the start of the show. But I'm still here. Since the former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura is back in the news, I dug out an interview he and I did on Air America Radio in 2009 that I shared today, along with his re-entry into the news just a week ago.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out:

I had fully intended on speaking with Blue Amp Media's Cliff Schecter today and adding laughs and some snark to the sickening news of the day. Unfortunately, I found out mid-show that Cliff had a family emergency and was unable to join us.I still had plenty to talk about between the shitty news of the day and another project I'm working on that I can't tell you about until tomorrow. And because of that, I'll be out tomorrow. But, as Jesse Ventura was in the news last week, and the

This Administration Breaks Laws Every Day, With Lisa...

2026/01/13

If I had a dollar for every law the orange idiot has broken while he's occupied the oval office I wouldn't necessarily be rich, but I'd certainly be able to pay my bills, probably easier than I can these days. Aside from that pretty big deal, there are tons of other legal issues in play that the administration seems to not care about or consider when the do the insane things they do. They lie, they cheat, they steal. They refuse to investigate crimes --even murder - when they think it

If you had hoped things would lighten up a bit as the calendar turned to 2026, I'm sorry to remind you that we live in Opposite World, and it's awful here. There's an explosion of ugly news to go through today, so thankfully Jonathan Larsen is here from his eponymous Substack where he brings us original reporting and from the one with the attitude, thefuckingnews.substack.com.
