Nicole Sandler’s daily fix of the latest news and fascinating guests with a healthy dose of snark and humor.
We made it through another eventful week in the most insane decade of my life, and I’m old. We celebrate Fridays because the weekend is here, but not before we recap some of the news made during the week that’s ending. It seems that each week these days is more outlandish than the one before,…

It’s Thursday (or as I prefer, Friday Eve) has arrived. That means a visit with Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny to talk politics. One subject that shouldn’t fall under the category of “politics” is “The Supreme Court.” But norms are dead, and we’re now living in opposite world. So all bets are off…. —…

I’ve been doing my best to have guests on this program who can explain the threats we are facing from fascism by way of Trump and his MAGAt sycophants. We’ve exposed “Project 2025” and urge you to learn as much as possible about what they are planning should they retake power. It really is urgent…

We’ve covered Project 2025 before, and we’ll continue sounding the alarm until and after TFG is defeated and this MAGAt brand of Republicans are extinct.

Every Friday I’m joined by the brilliant Marcy Wheeler from emptywheel.net to recap most of the important news of the week…. Today we talk the Trump trial and the show of Republican members of Congress skipping out on their jobs to do Dear Leader’s bidding at a NYC courthouse, some even making implicit terror threats…

Today’s Thursday, so we have a standing date with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com and the Blue America PAC. He usually joins us at around the :30 minute mark. He’s out at an appointment today, but we should still be able to get him on the phone for a conversation…. But if something prevents that from…

President Joe Biden owned TFG this morning when he issued his challenge for not just one, but TWO debates to happen in June and September. Surprisingly, TFG agreed…BUT then, true to form, he lied about a THIRD debate, hosted by Fox (NOT) News, saying he accepted that one too. But, true to form, he made…

She is the OG of the progressive blogosphere. Heather Parton, known to her readers as Digby, began blogging at her Hullabaloo blog (now at digbysblog.net) back around the turn of the century. Truly…. And here we are today — not only in Opposite World, but also in the Surreal World. We’ll talk about Trump on…

It’s hard to believe we’re almost half way through May already. I guess time flies whether we’re having fun or not! I’m in website hell and in desperate need of a vacation… but I’m not there yet. So instead, it’ll be a show at showtime as usual (5ET/2PT). I’ll try to bring you up to…
