October 25, 2024 By Ralph Nader Open Letter to President and CEO Suzanne P. Clark of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Dear President Clark, The Chamber has come a long way without my advice.

By Ralph Nader October 18, 2024 Biden’s bombs and missiles, dropped daily on Lebanon, a U.S. ally, by his puppet master Netanyahu, is wreaking havoc in this small defenseless country. The Israeli genocidal machine is waging an incinerating assault on fleeing civilians and critical facilities. The scorched-earth Israeli strategy is the same as what we…

By Ralph Nader October 11, 2024 Wouldn’t you think the Republican Party, that is as gung-ho for Empire and Genocide as the Democratic Party, but domestically is blatantly open about its policies against women, children, workers, the environment, climate crisis, public lands, public education and fair share taxes for the wealthy would be easy to…

Incumbents and challengers, cocooned by their corporate-conflicted political advisors, could benefit from this unique guide to political victory. Giving voice to two…

By Ralph Nader September 6, 2024 Even if I have to say so as co-author with Mark Green of “WRECKING AMERICA: How Trump’s Lawbreaking and Lies Betray All,” I know of no book on Trump to be as practically useful for the 2024 presidential election. Useful, that is, for those Americans who are appalled at…

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.
