In the Public Interest

By Ralph Nader June 9, 2025 A good way to understand CIVIC SELF-RESPECT – the title of my timely new book – is to recall a slice of American history from the late nineteen sixties and early nineteen seventies. Those were the years when Congress and a Republican President, Richard Nixon, produced many laws strongly…

By Ralph Nader May 30, 2025 Opposition by former high officials in Israeli’s military and national security establishment and Israeli allies – France, England, and Germany – to the aimless killing of civilian families in Gaza is increasing. The mainstream, U.S. media has no excuse to cease its incomplete and biased reporting on the horrific…

By Ralph Nader May 23, 2025 The chronic lies of Der Führer Trump, hour by hour, day after day, are having deadly and costly impacts on the American people, with many more casualties in the pipeline of wreckage he and his henchman Elon Musk have wrought since January 20. Trump’s lies, threats, and fake promises…

By Ralph Nader May 16, 2025 Dictator Donald Trump’s ego has gone global and dominates the news cycle.  His domestic opponents are left with too little too late rebuttals and, again, are victims of his genius in diverting and distracting them and the media. Take his “triumphant” trip to the wealthy Arab Nations in the…

By Ralph Nader May 9, 2025 Except for a few professional Democrats, most prominently Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, the Party of the Donkey still can’t decide to use the best words and phrases to describe the cruel, vicious, law-violating fascist dictatorship that is increasingly “Wrecking America.” Trump and his Trumpsters have no inhibitions, crazily labeling…

By Ralph Nader April 25, 2025 From a recent peaceful student rally at Columbia University came a chant that summed up their protest – “FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DEAD AND YOU’RE ARRESTING US INSTEAD.” This is the bloody omnipresence that the co-belligerent Trumpsters and their fearful University leaders, whom Trump has targeted for submission, are relegating…

By Ralph Nader April 18, 2025 Dear President Trump: We are Harvard Law students who have read the lengthy and comprehensive list of demands on our Harvard University by your staff. They are assuredly designed to turn this institution of higher education, older than the U.S.A., into a fiefdom under your iron rule. As modest…

By Ralph Nader April 11, 2025 If there was ever a strong contemporary case for declaring that silence is complicity, consider the hush of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and even George W. Bush as they grind their teeth over the Donald Trump/Elon Musk wrecking of America. Trump is destroying…

By Ralph Nader April 4, 2025 Tyrant Donald Trump, mega-violator of federal laws Wrecking America, has targeted Harvard University. Trump illegally threatens to cancel $9 billion in committed grants and contracts.
