New column:

The Washington Post on October 15th had a front page article describing how the bully-in-chief Donald Trump targets the most vulnerable people for his draconian and illegal budget cuts taken without Congressional authorization.

Amy Goodman of @democracynow.org is finally pioneering another news report. Unlike her journalistic peers, she not only routinely gives the huge undercount of fatalities reported by Hamas, but is beginning to give her audience a sense of how much greater is the Israeli genocidal death toll.

The editorial management of reporters and the editorials fail to hold Netanyahu and his terroristic mass-slaughtering cabinet accountable, says @nader.org.

Trump—who brags about wanting to resolve conflicts among countries abroad to get, by his own admission, the Nobel Peace prize—is sowing all kinds of conflicts inside the USA.

New column: A Hypothetical Letter from Two Children in Gaza to the Children of America

Trump is invading America. Focusing mostly on cities run by Democrats, he is federalizing state and national guards amplified by masked federal agents on the flimsiest of pretext. (He told the generals that he wanted to use cities as "training grounds for our military" in violation of federal law.)

Check this unusual situation. Two of the most powerful arguments Democrats are readying to defeat the Republicans in the 2026 Congressional Elections are:

Trump extorted Youtube with a frivolous lawsuit for a $24.5 million settlement and had most of it directed toward building his ballroom at the White House—which satirists have called “Mar-a-Lago North.” Youtube lawyers should know better.

New column: What the Media Needs to Tell People About the Gaza Genocide

Civics are needed now more than ever. "Civic Self-Respect" goes right to the most basic taproots of an aspiring democracy—its people and their roles in creating and sustaining community. Signed copies are available at this link:

Liberal and progressive voters are still waiting for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov —the minority leadership in the House and Senate– to endorse Zohran Mamdani. It will never happen. There’s a simple reason why.

Ralph Nader Has a Pencil Eraser Problem. We Put 100 Kids on the Case

Are the national and local consumer groups working on two long-neglected economic harms to consumers?

Netanyahu has just bombed the building in Qatar—a U.S. ally and mediator of the Israel Palestine conflict—where the two Hamas negotiators were meeting. Although the U.S. has a military base in Qatar with 10,000 U.S. military, reportedly Trump gave Netanyahu a green light.

New episode of the Ralph Nader Radio Hour:

New column:

Two more episodes of how Trump is devoid of even a thimble of empathy and compassion.

Here’s just one day (8/27/25) of headline reporting in the New York Times about how Trump is Wrecking America. (Not editorials!)

Most progressive citizen groups can’t seem to get our of their pre-Trump routine to adequately rise to the occasion presented by the ever-deepening Trump fascist dictatorship. They need to break new ground and develop much more urgent strategies and tactics for the rampaging lawless Tyrant Trump.

Yesterday Tyrant Trump issued another one of his illegal executive orders. This one allegedly bans the burning of the American flag, which the Supreme Court ruled an expression of free speech in 1989.

In 1971, conservative corporate lawyer and later Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell issued the notorious “Powell Memorandum” urging the reactionary forces of right-wing corporatism to rally against the social movements that swept the nation in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

With public approval of the Democratic Party at a low 33% and with Democratic Party registrations seriously slowing, while Trump declares war on the American people—red and blue states—when are the leaders of the Democratic Party going to resign?

Trump again desecrates the White House. He has cancelled the historic traditional public tours by families who were told they can visit what has been called “The People’s House.”

Trump got the GOP and Congress to rescind $8 billion in critical lifesaving aid to poor people abroad, including AIDS medicines, food supplements and vaccines. RFK Jr. has cancelled $1.1 billion of research grants for vaccines.

The @washingtonpost.com broke a page 1 story today about the multi-million dollars required to protect the extended family of Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth, including his former spouses.

Trump is unloading hundreds of national guardsmen and other federal military in the District of Columbia with lurid and false descriptions of criminal mobs and widespread violence. By far the main violence is coming out of the White House...

Large demonstrations of Israelis are demanding Netanyahu to stop the war in Gaza. They want to end the war to get the hostages back in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Many Israeli human rights groups also want to end the genocide.

White House reporters are still waiting for Trump to release his tax returns, due last April 15th, like all former presidents have done. He’s too busy gutting the IRS budget, firing 25% of its workers and therefore enabling massive tax evasion by the super-rich and big corporations.

OPEN LETTER to Journalists on the Vast Undercount of Deaths & Serious Injuries in Gaza

Tyrant Trump’s toadies in Congress are trying to name all kinds of places after him—like renaming Dulles Airport "Trump Airport." Streets after Trump. Locations after Trump. All to massage his egomaniacal thirst for recognition.

New from @jfallows.bsky.social

Ralph welcomes labor organizer Chris Townsend to discuss the current state of the labor movement under the second Trump administration. Then, Ralph talks to journalist Mariah Blake about PFAS and her new book “They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals.”

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, appeared at the White House with Trump pledging a hundred billion more dollars in US investments by Apple. These pledges of course are not enforceable but both Trump and Cook got a lot of press for what is emerging as a PR stunt between large companies and Trump.
