Emptywheel Fridays with Marcy Wheeler
Season 2025 Episode 1024
It's Nicole Sandler, back live in the studio today, 10/24/25. I've been in and out as I've been moving, but I don't miss an Emptywheel Friday show unless it's completely unavoidable! After today's show, I'll break down my studio and move it to the new house where it'll take a few days to rebuild it. So I'll have a couple of Best of shows to start next week, and then I'll be back from the new digs.
Although it feels less certain we'll actually reach the end of the week intact these days, we have. Sadly, the East Wing of the White House has not. That's where Marcy Wheeler and I began today's weekly wrap up of what transpired during the week.
As usual, we covered a lot of ground today, starting with the White House grounds that will soon have D'ump's Epstein Ballroom with his new luxury bunker built beneath it.
We spoke a lot about the many forms of corruption D'ump and his so-called administration have and are engaged in, including his ongoing quest to bilk the American public out of our hard-earn dollars. In this case, $230 million of them because we dared to investigate, charge, try (and find him guilty) his crimes. Well, some of them, anyway. Sadly, we never even got to the most serious ones...
We talked about the "purported interim US Attorney" Lindsey Halligan and her idiotic stalking of Lawfare's Anna Bower via Signal chat, and then proactively attempting to say the 33-hour long text conversation was "off-the-record."
NY Attorney General Letitia James was arraigned this morning. She, of course, pleaded Not Guillty. Trump freaked over a TV as run by the Ontario, Canada government, so had a social media tantrum and cut off all trade negotiations with our neighbor to the north. And a reminder that his illegal tariffs go before the Supreme Extreme Court in two weeks! We discussed the wannabe dictator's latest pardons for play and extrajudicial murders of people who happened to be in boats off the Caribbean...
Yes, it was a busy episode. Strap in!
