By Ralph Nader October 30, 2026 The Democrats will probably gain control of Congress, but by a small margin rather than a landslide. Donald Trump, the worst, most unpopular outlaw, cruel, lying, corrupt, bigoted, violent, self-enriching, and devastating dictator harming the American people in our history, has greatly helped the Dems in the midterm elections.…

By Ralph Nader October 23, 2026 Progressive candidates should be winning landslide victories over corporatist Republicans and replacing corporate Democrats on the merits of an authentic people-first agenda and legislation that makes big corporations and their government toadies our servants, not our masters.  If progressive candidates fail to deliver, they, too, should be replaced. Voters, have a civic duty…

By Ralph Nader October 16, 2026 In a stunning, morally corrupt move, Ohio Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown told the Columbus Dispatch on October 12th he “would not support an impeachment of Trump. There’s just simply no reason for that, no matter what happens in the midterms.” What planet is he on? This is why…

By Ralph Nader October 9, 2026 Ever wonder why, more often than not, progressive candidates for public office lose to the most venal, corrupt, right-wing politicians? It is not just that progressives don’t have enough money. Too often, they run cookie-cutter campaigns—tediously monotone, without exciting and compelling activities. They also fail to draw a vivid…

By Ralph Nader October 2, 2026 It is hard to read Trump’s mind — what with his chronic lies, delusions, and fake promises. His incentives to finish his term are numerous — pomp and ceremony, daily vengeance, judicial immunity, Democratic leaders, for now, opposing impeachment (see Open Letter to Representative Hakeem Jeffries, August 31, 2026),…

By Ralph Nader September 25, 2026 On September 18, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced it is launching a six-week, 20-state “Free Enterprise Express Bus” tour to back Republican candidates and “fight for free enterprise.” This big business lobby ignores the fact that, just like “capitalism,” American “democratic socialism” (supported by the voters for generations)…

By Ralph Nader September 18, 2026 “I was in the Oval Office when I got a call with the results of the September 15th House Impeachment vote. Unbelievable. Of course, my Repubs all voted against this persecution, but 47 of the Dems, including their leaders—Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, and Richard Neal from Democratic Massachusetts—voted PRESENT!…

By Ralph Nader September 14, 2026 In his rambling and incoherent remarks for nearly two hours over two nights before a knee-jerk crowd in Dallas last week, Trump provided ample evidence that he is a dangerously unstable, delusional, egomaniacal, and megalomaniacal personality. He pushed for this unusual midterm GOP convention to shore up his dwindling…

By Ralph Nader September 4, 2026 What must Tyrant Trump be thinking about his opponents’ feeble, weak, cowardly responses to his daily torrent of serious, impeachable offenses? Even his egomaniacal narcissism cannot fully explain his amazing good luck. Start with the House’s two impeachments of Trump, while Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, in 2019 and 2021.…
