Buh Bye Bondi, Welcome Joan Walsh & Brad Friedman

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/04/02

Sometimes I don't exactly what I'll be talking about until shortly before the show begins. I had a few ideas for today... but two hours before showtime the breaking news dropped in my lap and my plans changed... Pam Bondi is OUT as Attorney General. We had hints it would be happening, and then it did. Also, the orange pustule showed what a spoiled brat of an insolent child he is with a nasty UNtruth social post about Bruce Springsteen. So, I reached out to The Nation's Joan Walsh

Fool in the Court, Lisa Graves Weighs In

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/04/01

Today is April 1st, April Fools Day, and our nation's biggest fool again made a fool of himself, becoming the first-ever sitting guy in the oval office (sorry, I can't call him president) to attend a Supreme Court hearing. That the case is over an Executive Order he issued on his first day in office makes it even more idiotic. Or, if you prefer, the word he likes to call other people, "STUPID." But we know that every accusation is a confession everything he says is projection,

A Free World Depends on a Free Press

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/31

Tim Karr is Senior Director of Communications & Strategy for FreePress.net, an organization that's been fighting to protect media and technology, knowing they're essential to our democracy, and to make sure they're used for justice. Today Tim and I spoke about how this regime's takeover of the FCC is being used to control all aspects of those components, doing grave danger to our nation and democracy along the wayAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &

The Protests, The Professor and What's Next?

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/30

We did it! For the third time now, millions of patriots took to the streets of the USA and many more joined in from foreign shores to stand up for democracy and against an evil, sociopathic narcissistic ruler who thinks he should be king in a nation that was borne on the premise that there are no kings. His actions have set our 250-year young experiment with a fragile democracy on a collision course to upend the global infrastructure, causing more than one expert to predict our demise if we stay on

Emptywheel Friday- the Back from Vacation Edition!

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/27

Emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler joins me each Friday to recap much of the most important news of the week. We were both our last week, so there was a lot to talk about today. We didn't worry about what we missed last week, but dug into the seriousness of the mess he's gotten us in to. Yes, it's depressing, but we all need to arm ourselves with the truth and as much of it as we can stand, because information is power. We need to know what's happening so we can fight back against

She's History and So Is He with Amy Simon

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/26

This has been a really a strange week on The Nicole Sandler Show. Good thing tomorrow's Friday. But then again, who knows.. The walls are closing in on donOLD, and when a mad animal is trapped, it tends to become very dangerous. And that's what we're witnessing coming out of the Oval Office. We'll attempt to peek in and see what we can find. News reports are not very encouraging. The Month of March is winding down, and I've been remiss. March is Women's History Month, and I

Keeping Our Sanity in Trumpian Times with Brian Karem

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/26

Trying to hold on to some semblance of sanity in times like these is more of a challenge with each passing week. And this week has brought with it some special challenges for me! Somehow, despite not getting enough sleep, we're still standing.I'm a bit over-taxed today and almost didn't do a show. But when Brian Karem responded to my email inviting him on today, I figured that if he can do it, so can I. I'm still on a high from seeing Jesse Welles in concert last night (wow), but

Look What They've Done to our Media!

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/24

The once-varied and somewhat diverse media landscape in the US has vastly changed to where a small cartel of billionaires and conglomerates dominates much of what Americans see, read and hear. Today's guest - Tim Karr of freepress.net - got delayed (he'll be back next week), so I spent most of the hour ranting about what has happened to our media in the 40 + years I've been part of the industry... What a long, strange trip it's been.Advertising Inquiries:

Vacation Show Blast from the Past #1 - Robert Reich...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/16

I'm on a bit of a forced vacation this week. The house we live in is a rental, and the owners are putting in a new roof, now. So the noise makes it impossible for me to do a show. And that's just as well, because my main computer melted down this weekend, and now I'll have to figure out a solution. So for now, anyway, I'm only able to stream audio.And that's just as well, as I recently found an old stash of shows that I did on Air America back in 2009, and I didn't stream

Another Insane Wartime Emptywheel Friday on the...

2026/03/13

Today is the 14th day of this insane war against Iran, launched by the demented orange man who's still occupying the White House for no apparent reason and appears to have no plan to end it either. Every Friday, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net joins me to discuss what happened since we spoke the week before and today, Marcy goes in-depth to pull all the crazy together and tries to help us make sense out of the senseless. Both Marcy and I will be out next week. I'll run a combination of some

I Love the FULLY Educated with Art Jipson

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/12

So many aspects of our society have taken a major hit during both of the orange guy's time in office, notably education. I think, uniformly, all administrations - except for the current one- have tried to make the US system of education the best in the world. But in this Dump-led regime, the goal is the break it. That's just one of the topics I'll discuss with today's guest, a fascinating professor of sociology and a whole lot more. Dr. Art Jipson, who also hosts a very popular radio

The Politics Bar Visits Nicole's House

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/11

The world of progressive political talk media is relatively small. We don't ALL know each other, but most of us aren't much more than 2 degrees of separation apart. A relatively new show on the air and online, The Politics Bar, is hosted by an old friend and colleague Shawn "Smith" Peirce and a newer friend Jody Hamilton. We spent some time today talking a bit about everything from, obviously, the news and the idiot steering the news, to our/their histories, family, tv and so much

The Largest Data Theft in History - Yours- with Chuck...

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/10

Today's show is a serious and important one. There's so much to be concerned about these days, and the areas of concern have multiplied since the current administration moved into and took over DC. From day one, the orange madman, has dismantled, destroyed, and decimated the agencies, departments and safety nets that had made this country great. And it was great. It is no longer because of his actions. This group has only been in office just over a year, though it feels like eons already, so

A Whole Lot of F'ng News Going On

Welcome to a new week, sadly, same war- only more. More deaths, more destruction, more money burned, more madness run amok. Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com and his original report reporting at jonathanlarsen.substack.com will be here for the second half of the show. We'll talk about his big breaking news this week about what Hegseth's military is claiming regarding this war against Iran and how "Christianity" fits in.

Emptywheel Friday - The D'ump Invaded Iran Edition

The Nicole Sandler Show ·

2026/03/06

Last Friday as we were wrapping that edition of Emptywheel Friday, Marcy Wheeler said something like, "... unless we invade Iran..." because we knew that was certainly a strong possibility." In the early morning hours of February 28, less than 24 hours after the show ended, the US and Israel struck Iran. And that's only one story from a week that included so much more. So get comfortable, as Marcy Wheeler and I have a lot of ground to cover, and we'll be here for a while. If you

BREAKING NEWS just as I'm in the final throes of show prep for today's show with goes live in 40 minutes! The orange mess just announced - via social media, of course - that Kristi Noem is FIRED and in her place, the moronic MarkWayne Mullin. I kid you not.

About Last Night, Today In War, and Will Bunch Weighs In

2026/03/04

Yes, it's exhausting. Even Heather Cox Richardson is in the land of the overwhelmed and cursing loudly with us. And we got a harbinger of things to come with yesterday's Democratic Party Senate primary in Texas. I'll try to encapsulate much of that as we begin today's show. Then Will Bunch joins in from the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he's been opining about many of the same issues that have me freaked out lately. Oh, and have I mentioned that Pete Kegsbreath is an obnoxious

Trying to Make Sense from Nonsense with Digby

Day 4 of the war the orange mess promised he'd never start. The lies continue unabated. He lies and his sycophants swear to them. Everything is fucked up and stupid. I may never recover from the parts of Kristi Noem's testimony this morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And it seems like every minute, there's some other breaking news that, alone under a Democratic administration, would have sent Republicans into conniption fits. Thankfully, the one and only Heather

No Mincing Words any more, not like I ever did in the first place. But the Orange Mass of Crud along with his idiotic drunken sidekick Whiskey Pete Kegseth, late Friday Night, started bombing Iran. Not even a word to or with Congress about this massive attack, which is the only legal way to start a war according to our constitution.It's a new week, a new month, a new war... and thankfully Jonathan Larsen is here from thefuckingnews.substack.com and jonathanlarsen.substack.com to help us wade
