By Ralph Nader November 18, 2022 Once again, the Congressional Democratic Party leaders are claiming a victory of sorts in an election where the Dems should have landslided the most corrupt, cruel and lying Republican Party in history. The Dems lost the House of Representatives and once again narrowly won the Senate, flipping only the…

By Ralph Nader November 11, 2022 The mid-term congressional elections are over, but the counting in some very close races continues, which extends the time for determining the margins of control over the Senate and the House. What is known is that the Red Wave predicted by pollsters and trumpeted by the New York Times…

By Ralph Nader November 4, 2022 Voter grumbling, rage and cynicism is rampant heading into the mid-term elections on November 8th. Add the flattering, flummoxing and fooling of voters by many corporatist politicians to the mix and we have the makings of an election-day disaster.

But the GOP’s actions…

By Ralph Nader September 23, 2022 Long before the Covid pandemic, it was important to ask, where are the mass movements to enact in Congress majoritarian-supported changes and reforms? Another question: Whatever happened to the mass rallies that used to command the attention of our 535 members of Congress to whom we have given our…

By Ralph Nader September 17, 2022 Consider the harmful, grasping tentacles by corporations around the bodies and minds of youngsters through relentless direct marketing that bypasses parental authority. Now comes my sister Claire Nader’s new book You Are Your Own Best Teacher! Sparking the Curiosity, Imagination and Intellect of Tweens. The corporate creep started out…
