Labor Day Release – September 2, 2024 Trump’s callous disregard for workers’ well-being knows no bounds – even children would not be safe under a second Trump presidency. Project 2025, the blueprint for a second Trump administration, calls for teenagers to be trained on dangerous machinery. At the state level, Republicans are already weakening child…
By Ralph Nader August 30, 2024 No matter what his advisers caution, Donald Trump cannot resist giving negative, insulting nicknames to his opponents and critics. Nor can the mass media resist reprinting them in CAPITAL LETTERS, without giving the named persons a right of reply. He gets a free ride day after day, month after…
By Ralph Nader August 23, 2024 It was 1967 when the national media was covering our auto safety initiatives. A call came on the hallway phone outside my $90-a-month boarding room. “Hello, I’m Phil Donahue. I want to invite you on my new syndicated television talk show in Dayton, Ohio. You’ve come a long way…
August 19, 2024 Phil Donahue – for years the number one rated network television daily talk show host – was the greatest defender and enabler of our Constitution’s First Amendment right of free speech in 20th century America.

Accustomed to reporters clinging to the single question about “being a spoiler” and my usual rebuttals (“focus on the…
By Ralph Nader August 2, 2024 Israeli soldiers, like soldiers in other countries, bask in the self-serving effusive praise showered upon them by politicians, but privately they know BS when they hear it. Right from the start on October 7th, the soldiers knew that the sudden collapse of Netanyahu’s state-of-the-art multi-tiered border defense system left…
By Ralph Nader July 25, 2024 Labor Day in Reality for September 2, 2024 is a huge, ignored asset, except by the commercial interests offering “sales.” A neglected Labor Day symbolizes the decline of labor unions and the absence of vigorous leadership generating higher levels of energy for Labor supremacy over Capital. Up to now, many…
By Ralph Nader July 19, 2024 Unless the GOP in Congress has a last-minute rethinking, P.M. Netanyahu of Israel will enjoy his record-setting fourth address to a Joint Session of Congress on July 24, 2024. Scores of Democrats are boycotting the event. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Netanyahu is committing mass murders/war crimes and killing hundreds of…
Lead-footed, ill-trained United States District Judge Aileen Cannon today dismissed the Espionage Act-Obstruction of Justice indictment against Trump in a 93-page caper that overruled the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Nixon v.
