Nicole Sandler’s daily fix of the latest news and fascinating guests with a healthy dose of snark and humor.
It’s been a long time since my 8th grade civics class. I did learn a lot from Mr. Patton back then, but I haven’t brushed up on much of what I learned then since. But we’re being told a lot of stuff about our government, and the newly empowered administration is doing a lot of…

Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC returns with lots to say about the wholly unqualified people who the convicted felon in the White House has chosen to be in his cabinet.
